So I finally bought a #HeatPump for the back yard shed. It’s a little one - the space is pretty small. I wanted to do this years ago, but the industry dragged its damned feet catching up with the science.

Intent is to DIY it. But the instructions say I need some tools I don’t have. #ManifoldGauge set & #VacuumPump

Maybe I’ll DIY all but the final steps, then hire that last bit.

Or maybe the cheapest #HarborFreight set will be cheaper than the labor cost.

What did you do on yours, Fedi-folk?
