00:00:00.120 we just finished wiping this down pretty 00:00:03.91900:00:03.929 good so this is basically what we had 00:00:06.01900:00:06.029 after we pull the coil out except it was 00:00:07.94000:00:07.950 really nasty and dirty right now Sam's 00:00:12.35000:00:12.360 in there working on building the 00:00:15.44000:00:15.450 enclosure for the coil and measuring 00:00:19.37000:00:19.380 stuff out but we're coming up with a way 00:00:23.12000:00:23.130 to seal it as well we can and slide it 00:00:29.15000:00:29.160 in in one shot which should be kind of 00:00:31.84900:00:31.859 entertaining 00:00:32.45000:00:32.460 anyway I thought I'd give you a quick 00:00:34.06900:00:34.079 shot of the enclosed area here I've 00:00:39.70000:00:39.710 filled in sorry I don't have the light 00:00:41.69000:00:41.700 on I filled in the corners where we had 00:00:45.50000:00:45.510 Phung gaps or they just laid down a 00:00:48.83000:00:48.840 couple pieces and it was sucking air 00:00:50.56000:00:50.570 underneath the coil down into the unit 00:00:54.17000:00:54.180 so this time when we go back we'll have 00:00:57.56000:00:57.570 all of the base sealed up and we're 00:01:03.50000:01:03.510 doing that test setup here and we're 00:01:07.85000:01:07.860 gonna fit as tight as we can and then 00:01:10.13000:01:10.140 seal it to the bottom here in a minute 00:01:12.14000:01:12.150 and try it without the front on and try 00:01:14.60000:01:14.610 and lift the whole thing in and one shot 00:01:16.94000:01:16.950 and have it sealed up box started it did 00:01:22.16000:01:22.170 not start like we had planned there was 00:01:24.98000:01:24.990 no way to easily get in there without 00:01:26.74900:01:26.759 just assembly in the front face and so 00:01:28.96900:01:28.979 we're just kind of doing it on the fly 00:01:30.28900:01:30.299 but anyway we've got the the base sealed 00:01:32.63000:01:32.640 up the rubber mat feeling it filled in 00:01:34.91000:01:34.920 all the way across where they had not 00:01:36.89000:01:36.900 done so before it was getting air sucked 00:01:39.26000:01:39.270 in the coils clean we've made new cap 00:01:42.14000:01:42.150 plates for the ends down here and we're 00:01:45.28900:01:45.299 fixing to place it I'm gonna seal the 00:01:47.71900:01:47.729 bottom of the the board against the unit 00:01:52.39900:01:52.409 in there and put a tight seal on that 00:01:54.85900:01:54.869 and then we'll place the coil and 00:01:56.45000:01:56.460 hopefully it will fit squarely without 00:01:59.45000:01:59.460 having to fight it and we'll place 00:02:00.85900:02:00.869 around the pipes for the side I'm going 00:02:04.10000:02:04.110 to go outside and get some more of our 00:02:06.78900:02:06.799 office project scraps I have a bunch of 00:02:09.38000:02:09.390 cement board so I'm going to lay some 00:02:10.58000:02:10.590 cement board along the side over here 00:02:12.58900:02:12.599 and 00:02:13.55900:02:13.569 when we start welding that stuff up they 00:02:17.00900:02:17.019 won't melt the board or catch any of the 00:02:20.94000:02:20.950 other lovely dust bits in there on fire 00:02:23.94000:02:23.950 that I haven't vacuumed out so anyway 00:02:27.20900:02:27.219 that's what we're at I'm gonna knock 00:02:28.86000:02:28.870 that out here in a second okay he is now 00:02:33.59900:02:33.609 installing the seals around the box he's 00:02:48.65900:02:48.669 doing the meaningless work so I don't 00:02:50.75900:02:50.769 have to do it put it in there as much 00:03:01.42900:03:01.439 now I know some of you guys are shaking 00:03:04.64900:03:04.659 your head you your pants about the 00:03:07.14000:03:07.150 way I'm doing this but as I have told 00:03:09.47900:03:09.489 you before I am NOT an installer I have 00:03:12.86900:03:12.879 never claimed to be an installer 00:03:14.33900:03:14.349 I suck at installing because I don't 00:03:16.34900:03:16.359 install I just fix so I don't even 00:03:21.74900:03:21.759 go and hang out with guys they install 00:03:24.03000:03:24.040 so this is just me winging it in my own 00:03:27.11900:03:27.129 place so so cut me some slack I know you 00:03:33.44900:03:33.459 won't but you can pick your life you 00:03:35.87900:03:35.889 want to and when I get done you're not 00:03:41.33900:03:41.349 gonna see any mastic either because you 00:03:46.43900:03:46.449 know I live out in the sticks and I 00:03:47.64000:03:47.650 really don't care about nasty that's all 00:03:53.12900:03:53.139 right I'm assuming a couple years we'll 00:03:58.05000:03:58.060 be replacing this unit anyway this will 00:04:02.58000:04:02.590 do just fine 00:04:33.67000:04:33.680 pretty good and this is called taping 00:04:53.48000:04:53.490 with Mikey yeah that's why I did most of 00:05:13.61000:05:13.620 the frame 00:05:43.40000:05:43.410 all right I have the front door a 00:05:45.99000:05:46.000 section started in just finished putting 00:05:49.98000:05:49.990 tape down the one side and laying some 00:05:53.52000:05:53.530 in right here and I'm going to seal the 00:05:55.98000:05:55.990 bottom section there the side here I 00:05:58.23000:05:58.240 should say and then the bottom section 00:05:59.43000:05:59.440 down here and then we'll start building 00:06:01.65000:06:01.660 the filter sub base ledge after I finish 00:06:07.62000:06:07.630 that pull the filters out have the 00:06:09.69000:06:09.700 complete front taped in and sealed up 00:06:12.21000:06:12.220 and ready to do the ledge to put the 00:06:16.89000:06:16.900 filter on the sub base wherever you want 00:06:19.08000:06:19.090 to call it and I have all of those 00:06:21.39000:06:21.400 pieces already cut and measured out and 00:06:24.29000:06:24.300 I've taped off the the open side so I 00:06:28.08000:06:28.090 don't have any hanging out and I'm going 00:06:30.69000:06:30.700 to get a few small pieces possibly we'll 00:06:33.54000:06:33.550 see how it sits small pieces maybe he's 00:06:37.50000:06:37.510 small snips that to give me some 00:06:40.17000:06:40.180 vertical support underneath but may not 00:06:42.06000:06:42.070 be necessary I get the middle tape on it 00:06:43.56000:06:43.570 and it might be plenty strong enough and 00:06:46.32000:06:46.330 I'm guessing it probably will be to hold 00:06:48.45000:06:48.460 the filter up which will not weigh a 00:06:49.83000:06:49.840 whole bunch I've got the first piece 00:06:52.05000:06:52.060 laid in the back as you can see and just 00:06:54.69000:06:54.700 a couple pieces of tape rolling in but I 00:06:56.46000:06:56.470 may use a small piece of foam which 00:06:58.95000:06:58.960 happens the exact same size as the width 00:07:00.90000:07:00.910 of the filter and I'm using it to give 00:07:04.23000:07:04.240 me a level measure of the top boards so 00:07:08.01000:07:08.020 I can properly space it down we're going 00:07:11.61000:07:11.620 to do that all the way around the front 00:07:12.71900:07:12.729 and the sides and then seal everything 00:07:15.51000:07:15.520 in of the problem laid in here in the 00:07:19.08000:07:19.090 back ones in and I'm just nailing 00:07:24.73000:07:24.740 pretty much leveled up all the way for 00:07:27.65000:07:27.660 all I'm gonna steal that one in and then 00:07:30.56000:07:30.570 we'll do the other side laying in the 00:07:34.22000:07:34.230 tape now I'm using a I guess you called 00:07:37.34000:07:37.350 spatula but they use this for tape and 00:07:40.79000:07:40.800 it's also used for mastic but you use it 00:07:45.61000:07:45.620 well here like a squeegee and it was a 00:07:48.50000:07:48.510 really good seal down on the tape now if 00:07:51.14000:07:51.150 you just put the tape on by hand and you 00:07:52.88000:07:52.890 don't squish it down and really good it 00:07:56.08000:07:56.090 heal up on you and you get heat or cold 00:07:59.71000:07:59.720 blowing on it so always good to squeegee 00:08:04.16000:08:04.170 it down really nice and tight we get all 00:08:06.41000:08:06.420 the air leaks that could possibly get 00:08:09.02000:08:09.030 behind a seal right here and we'll do 00:08:10.43000:08:10.440 the rest it's all laid in and taped in 00:08:13.55000:08:13.560 the front is finished up the top is 00:08:16.52000:08:16.530 taped in and sealed all the way around I 00:08:19.04000:08:19.050 have a few little you touch up spots 00:08:21.29000:08:21.300 here if you little cracks most part it's 00:08:23.09000:08:23.100 all sealed in nice and well and we have 00:08:25.85000:08:25.860 a nice lip to put the new filter on top 00:08:28.85000:08:28.860 so all we have to do now is come up with 00:08:33.02000:08:33.030 some new return here because now that 00:08:35.00000:08:35.010 I've blocked off this whole section it 00:08:36.74000:08:36.750 was sucking in before it's gonna be a 00:08:37.85000:08:37.860 little difficult it stills gaps whatnot 00:08:40.13000:08:40.140 so I'm going to put a return 00:08:44.33000:08:44.340 grill up here in the top SEC I have a 00:08:46.37000:08:46.380 new grill purchased and taken out and 00:08:49.15000:08:49.160 its largest one they had and turns out 00:08:53.03000:08:53.040 is absolutely perfect absolutely perfect 00:08:55.66000:08:55.670 for the width now I just need to measure 00:08:59.48000:08:59.490 off the sections where I'm going to cut 00:09:01.61000:09:01.620 it at and take out the first section of 00:09:06.32000:09:06.330 sheetrock up here 00:09:08.52000:09:08.530 [Music] 00:09:32.97000:09:32.980 I was two by four okay perfect perfect 00:09:38.07000:09:38.080 don't lean I couldn't ask for better 00:09:39.47000:09:39.480 right the 2x4 line all the way down here 00:09:42.27000:09:42.280 from two sides and the top so all I 00:09:45.66000:09:45.670 really have to do is mark the top that's 00:09:47.97000:09:47.980 the only cut line I have to follow in 00:09:49.41000:09:49.420 the rest I just follow the border it's 00:09:51.51000:09:51.520 going to be great 00:10:02.04000:10:02.05000:10:09.53000:10:09.540 sweating this 73 in the house let's have 00:10:14.07000:10:14.080 a closer look at it then I have a lot of 00:10:16.77000:10:16.780 vacuuming to do obviously but not bad 00:10:20.28000:10:20.290 maybe some touch up but for the most 00:10:21.72000:10:21.730 part it's it's pretty clean top and 00:10:24.30000:10:24.310 bottom and katli use a thermostat wire 00:10:27.99000:10:28.000 going up through the ceiling and out so 00:10:32.48000:10:32.490 beautiful a little bit that looks really 00:10:37.23000:10:37.240 nice and let's grab the cover here and 00:10:42.29000:10:42.300 do a little test fit beautiful okay I'm 00:10:55.59000:10:55.600 a dress up that in the air I may not 00:10:58.37000:10:58.380 feel like dressing with some sheetrock 00:11:00.36000:11:00.370 in the paint in the edges I might but 00:11:02.04000:11:02.050 odds are I won't because it's not that 00:11:05.97000:11:05.980 big a deal 00:11:06.36000:11:06.370 beautiful so this is going to greatly 00:11:09.72000:11:09.730 increase the airflow this grill is a lot 00:11:14.19000:11:14.200 more open than the old one - the old one 00:11:15.78000:11:15.790 wasn't as far more alright we clean it 00:11:21.60000:11:21.610 now before I put the cover on I want to 00:11:24.57000:11:24.580 emphasize that is not the obviously the 00:11:27.39000:11:27.400 best way to cut sheetrock especially if 00:11:30.48000:11:30.490 you're trying to keep a low dust count 00:11:31.86000:11:31.870 down that was a little high but I also 00:11:34.77000:11:34.780 wanted to show you how much dust 00:11:38.69000:11:38.700 that rock puts out I mean look at the 00:11:41.78000:11:41.790 filter it is packed up with crap off of 00:11:45.41000:11:45.420 that so another good reason to wear the 00:11:47.15000:11:47.160 mask but I see that a lot no new home 00:11:52.52000:11:52.530 construction you get a call out for air 00:11:54.02000:11:54.030 conditioner they've been the worst is 00:11:56.54000:11:56.550 granite tops there's sanding granite 00:11:58.46000:11:58.470 tops you go out and there we go we went 00:12:02.51000:12:02.520 to the to fix the air conditioner and 00:12:06.56000:12:06.570 you look at it and the filter literally 00:12:08.57000:12:08.580 weighs five pounds from all the granite 00:12:10.49000:12:10.500 in there you'll see that was sheetrock 00:12:11.90000:12:11.910 construction and other stuff something 00:12:13.25000:12:13.260 to watch for anyway I thought you might 00:12:15.41000:12:15.420 enjoy that all right we'll put the top 00:12:17.57000:12:17.580 on it and then I will do some some 00:12:20.24000:12:20.250 serious mass editing to trim this down 00:12:22.40000:12:22.410 and speeding a lot of the cutting up to 00:12:25.60000:12:25.610 fun speeds and we'll do a quick shot 00:12:29.30000:12:29.310 when it's down here 00:12:43.56000:12:43.57000:12:47.17000:12:47.180 okay so drill them out first potholes 00:12:53.99000:12:54.000 boys and girls that sucks ass okay I had 00:12:57.92000:12:57.930 the whole little back window on the 00:12:59.38900:12:59.399 whole time anyway we're done 00:13:03.12900:13:03.139 beautiful beautiful beautiful let me cut 00:13:06.88900:13:06.899 the lights okay so it looks good 00:13:09.23000:13:09.240 normally with all the lights off and 00:13:11.60000:13:11.610 with a normal light on it's a nice dark 00:13:16.04000:13:16.050 you really can't see anything other than 00:13:19.16000:13:19.170 the sides there and I could get in there 00:13:23.12000:13:23.130 and and paint those white and it'd be 00:13:26.32900:13:26.339 beautiful other than that kind of see 00:13:28.61000:13:28.620 the cord up in there might be able to 00:13:30.94900:13:30.959 pull that down and the thermostat wires 00:13:32.90000:13:32.910 and put it in position okay so beautiful 00:13:37.61000:13:37.620 yay it is done it's pretty well centered 00:13:40.93900:13:40.949 up between the top and the bottom you 00:13:43.06900:13:43.079 see at the top hands out there and there 00:13:45.37900:13:45.389 on the little strip boards and they're 00:13:47.68900:13:47.699 tighter at the bottom so it's uh ice 00:13:51.49900:13:51.509 ended up fairly well I guess and 00:13:54.49900:13:54.509 nobody'll notice little office at me you 00:13:57.31900:13:57.329 notice they the frame for the for the 00:14:01.10000:14:01.110 units a little off but very good alright
