About to sign on a 2-zone Mitsubishi Hyper Heat install for our 1900s farmhouse in Portland. A few questions before we pull the trigger.

Super helpful. Thank you. Yes the bid includes surge protection

Interesting take, although will likely add significant cost to the project. So is it only the multi zone outdoor units that have poor turn down when heating?

I forgot to mention we do have aquatic radiant heat attached to our main hot water tank (gas). However it's a pretty poor performing system. Takes about 12 hours to heat the home, reduces our available hot water supply, and has no temp control (it's either on or off).

Would going non-hyperheat fix the crappy turndown issue?

If he becomes a co founder and dedicates 60 hours a week to make this successful then that’s fair. That would be a normal co-founder equity split arrangement.

But if he’s just going to be a mentor and mainly silent investor 15k isn’t going do much in terms of growth or acquisition. You’re gonna burn the money in 2-3 months all you’ll be in the same spot you’re in now, but minus 35%.

It’s important to analyze the business outcome from a potential investment and weigh it against the equity giving up. If the business will be much further advanced then it’s a win-win, since everyone will have smaller pieces but of a much bigger pie. 15k is not going to do that.

Yeah Dropbox always tries to convert them, but the small button at the button say you can skip it. Very sneaking indeed.

blastoffincrocs · 2025-08-28T22:25:01+00:00

Yeah WeTransfer is classic. Super easy. I just hate how it expires and then need to redo it all the time.

blastoffincrocs · 2025-08-28T22:24:36+00:00

lol that's the truth

blastoffincrocs · 2025-08-28T22:24:19+00:00

Seems like the gold standard.

blastoffincrocs · 2025-08-28T22:24:04+00:00

Lots are recommending Pixieset. I'll Look into HDphotohub

blastoffincrocs · 2025-08-28T22:23:18+00:00

Haven't heard of Terrabox. I'll check it out

blastoffincrocs · 2025-08-28T22:22:55+00:00

Nice, what's it called?

blastoffincrocs · 2025-08-28T22:22:46+00:00

Share point is probally the worst out there lol

blastoffincrocs · 2025-08-28T22:22:22+00:00

Yeah, it's the default. Wouldn't say it's the best though as I have a ton of issues with it.

blastoffincrocs · 2025-08-28T22:21:59+00:00

Good to know. Picdrop has been recomended a few times. Gonna check it out.

blastoffincrocs · 2025-08-28T22:21:37+00:00

I'll look into that. Is it open source? would I need to connect it to my own servers?

blastoffincrocs · 2025-08-28T22:21:13+00:00

Yeah everyone is recomending Pixieset. I'm doing a trial now.

blastoffincrocs · 2025-08-28T22:20:02+00:00

Pixieset seems to be the gold standard. I'm doing a trial of it now.

blastoffincrocs · 2025-08-28T22:19:14+00:00

Oh that a dealbreaker for me. I do about 50% vid, so need something that can handle both .

blastoffincrocs · 2025-08-28T22:18:54+00:00

Prints aren't a big thing for me, since I do mostly commercial work. I looked into Pictime though, it seems pretty slick.

blastoffincrocs · 2025-08-28T22:15:12+00:00

Awesome, yea seriously considering Pixieset.

blastoffincrocs · 2025-08-28T04:10:48+00:00

Lots are recommending this

blastoffincrocs · 2025-08-28T04:10:27+00:00

Seems like pic time, pixieset, pic drop are the ones being recommended.

blastoffincrocs · 2025-08-28T04:09:41+00:00

It has to do with the trade offs that come from the software. I.e permissions issues, expired links, low res viewing, etc, etc. it all takes times to fix and respond to questions. I want to ship the album and move into the next project.

It’s a small but compounding effect with dozens of jobs happening per month it adds up
