    I am not, personally, but, be very mindful of what they try to sell.
    No fly by night DIY stuff.
    I dont deal with the lighter side of the trade, but, a close friend owns his on shop, and deals with them, so, his info is up to date. Ill vet the equipment if you want.

    Just make sure whomever does it, does it to code, electrical, applicable permits, etc.

    Yea it was just the fact of only having the ass end as high as the jack would go laying on the pavement. Thankfully it was only about a year old and I have exhaust hanger removal pliers



    ITS in Westfield is who we used to put our Daikin unit in. Mr. Cool is total garbage in my opinion

    I did a couple for my dad.

    Been a few years, but, Mitsubishi. If you want the heat pump, Mitsubishi Hyper Heat.
    There is another one my buddy says he'll install, but, I dont remember it offhand. When I talk to him later today, Ill find out.

    But, even if DIY, you need to correct tools, and knowing how to use them.
    99% of issues with these, and most of this type of equipment really, is poor/improper installation, then service.

    Was looking around at options available, but my issue is trying to find one that can do two zones and another that can do three zones.
    Does your close friend do full install of the unit inside and out? I have an electrician buddy that can do the wiring portion if needed.
    They are quite the ways out. I can still give them a ring, maybe they will swing all the way into Brighton, lol.
    DIY Mitsubishi? Interesting. If we could do it just way, I might have to borrow your friends equipment for install, or again, have them do it, lol.

    Firepits specifically arent the side hustle, I just made this for my uncle for his birthday. I typically do fabrication on peoples trucks here on tw but also plasmacut random parts.

    You arent the first person to ask about these, maybe they should be a side hustle. I could make another one for $3-400, raw steel. Keep in mind this is 3/16 so it'll last basically forever. Can cut whatever logo out too.

    Anything might be a little far. Someone would have to pay off my mortgage for me to build a JK

    I am in for one! But I am easy to please and in no hurry. It would be for my wife for a Christmas or birthday gift(January birthday). But I would have each side be a different Boston sports team. One each for the Patriots, Celtics, Bruins and Revolution. She loves sports and one year we made it to a game for each of the four sports. We can switch to a private conversation if that works better whenever works for you.

    Also, do you know if there Are their any active fabrication/welding threads here that you know of? I've got some questions on a project
