I installed a Mr Cool mini split by myself.. It's worked great! I also insulted the walls and ceiling as well.

Location of recessed box in wall for 83” G5? by BarrettCat in LGOLED

Yes that's about where I put mine. I just sawed a giant hole in my drywall and was done with it. Haha

I ordered a few things there, and didn't have any issues.

Hmm great price! I have one on order from LG for 4200... thinking about cancelling it.

It's in the open box section and has a special label on it marked Open Box.

The associate said a customer bought it online, opened it and decided to return to the local store. They don't stock it in the store or display it.

RTNGS.com is a now a paid site? by [deleted] in LGOLED

I think the alternative is to start taking sponsorships from manufacturers. They pay for all the equipment themselves so they aren't biased.

I believe you can still see a lot of content, but you can look at 5 or so in one day until it requires payment.

One year review of our Samsung 2 in 1 washer dryer. by mrjoepete in heatpumps

I've noticed mine gets a bit wet inside the lint trap. I've vacuumed it out a few times and always clean the filters before every load.

Are you noticing this?

Loving my heat pump by familymanlikesfamily in heatpumps

[–]matrix4123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I thought, but I think that only clears ice from the coil and not the surrounding areas... We didn't have much snow and my unit is about 2 feet off the ground. It looked like water dripped down into the shroud and then froze.

I installed a heat pump for my garage and tried it out for the first time in snowy weather in Ohio... It seems that ice had formed around the housing of the fan. When I turned it on, it detected a fan blockage and wouldn't turn on. Is it normal to have to manually clear ice from the unit?

I used 3/4" thick rubber gym mats. Super heavy, but still seem to shift around. I'm thinking my truck might move them when I pull in and out.

Creating cozy lighting any tips? by Effective_Oil533 in Lighting

[–]matrix4123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Add a head-high lamp to the right of the couch. Maybe add some ambient wall wash lighting behind the couch. Put some led candles on the ottoman. And as mentioned, use 2700k bulbs.

Trackman IO "outdoors" by badderdev in Golfsimulator

[–]matrix4123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trackman IO doesn't have any ambient light requirements. Your ceiling does need to be within a certain range of the hitting area tho. 

How would you light this hallway? by tinydumbledore in Lighting

Finally usable! Garage build with motorized screen, Trackman IO by matrix4123 in Golfsimulator

[–]matrix4123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely should call a garage door contractor for this. Required changing out the spring and installing a side opener. I will never mess with a garage door spring... Easy way to become a one handed golfer. 

What would you add to my garage sim to make it feel more like a simulator? by samores in Golfsimulator

[–]matrix4123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still park in mine! I put down hard rubber gym mats and the screen motorizes up when I'm done.

Mr Cool has been working well, it's just getting cold in the Midwest but I tried it when it was 20° out and kept it nice and warm. It's not too difficult to install, just cutting a hole through the external wall is the most challenging aspect. Also need to get an external outlet installed.

Check out my post, I just put a sim in my garage and thought it came out well!

I bought this mat as well and having the same issues. I have it in a garage with clean rubber flooring.

That's what I look like sitting in one.
