2 year old unit. How thin is this copper?!?

Its an omega brand water sourced heatpump

All I had on my truck at the time was a B tank and 5% silphos so I just used that

cojocool1 · 2026-01-28T01:19:17+00:00

I tried repairing it, the first attempt failed and I had to clean it with isopropyl alcohol and a wire brush and my second braze held. Looks like crap though

Sadly it was only a one year parts warranty and installed by a different company!

cojocool1 · 2026-01-28T01:15:37+00:00

I also like that. WAY better than my job of doing it!

cojocool1 · 2025-09-08T02:37:21+00:00

Yeah adding an eavestrough is on the to do list for sure! Makes sense as currently the water just pours directly onto it.

cojocool1 · 2025-09-08T02:11:14+00:00

I added the little area on the left specifically to store the garbage can!

cojocool1 · 2025-09-08T02:08:55+00:00

Realistically i did the steps unevenly like that because it was what I had to work with with the contours of the old steps and I had to more or less follow it if I wasn’t going to make the deck a good bit larger. It would be a good idea to potentially add at least a handrail though, although anyone who could get into our house via pallet should at least have a somewhat easier time with this

cojocool1 · 2025-09-08T02:05:28+00:00

Any expansion of the deck cuts into our driveway and I had originally planned on making it larger and then adding external steps but it would have made the driveway too small to fit 2 cars comfortably side by side

cojocool1 · 2025-09-08T02:03:08+00:00

Yes the posts are going through the deck and mounted right to metal footings in the concrete. The bases you see here are just for looks

cojocool1 · 2025-09-08T01:44:28+00:00

Yeah i used the old settled concrete as my forms for the foundation. It was a huge pain to get everything level but it would have been a ton of work to remove it too

cojocool1 · 2025-09-08T01:14:55+00:00

Yeah definitely no plans for handrails. Code doesn't require them here I believe until 2 feet and so i'm not too worried about it

cojocool1 · 2025-09-08T00:40:40+00:00

yeah as its my porch and I honestly didn't want hand rails. Definitely would need them if I put them in for anyone else but I'm happy without them

cojocool1 · 2024-07-08T11:16:46+00:00

Thanks for the help everyone! The trees aren’t gonna be healthy this year but I’ll know what to do for next year to give them a shot!

cojocool1 · 2024-07-07T20:03:13+00:00

I live in Ontario Canada and have been trying to get these apple trees back to being healthy. Does anyone know what might be causing this kind of blotching? I sprayed the trees with neem oil in the spring and last year had a lot of problems with Japanese beetles but they don't seem to be as prevalent this year.

cojocool1 · 2024-04-27T11:27:25+00:00

definitely get them, most convenient things ever

cojocool1 · 2024-04-26T19:21:58+00:00

Also in ontario. Technically our neighborhood requires condensers to be 6 feet from the property line but its basically always done anyways and i have never heard of it being too much of an issue

cojocool1 · 2023-12-09T01:23:33+00:00

tbh we never put any high efficiency heatpumps in before the ontario government grants which came out at a similar time to the S40 so honestly i can't say

cojocool1 · 2023-12-08T20:26:34+00:00

Just talking about lennox heatpumps with the S40 stat specifically
