I just posted this on Stuart's HVAC thread but am wondering if you have any details on how you installed the minisplit while maintaining your isolation. Seems like it would be very tricky to do in practice given the various lines and power wires passing through a good size hole in each wall.

This has been a really informative thread. One other question if you don't mind - of the "devil in the details" variety. I attached a video of a standard minisplit installation as an example. Just watching that, I'm trying to figure out how one would seal two holes in a double wall from th...

Thanks for the replies. Makes sense on the HVAC. For the electrical, I know John is a (perhaps minority) fan of balanced power but I haven't seen too many details, like how you would obtain twisted pair 12 gauge or 10 gauge cabling, and whether stranded would hold a twist if done DIY -- which appare...

I know supply registers need to be of good quality to get the correct throw and avoid turbulence noise but what about the exhaust registers? Is there anything special about those or can they be of average big box store quality?

Really good thread! I feel your pain about the time it takes to do all this, and how your brain switches from the creative & musical to the construction & analytic side of things. I'm right there with ya. A few questions for when you have time. Regarding HVAC: I hadn't realized that you coul...

That does help, thanks! One other point on the exhaust. I'm looking at your diagram from the first page with the whole system laid out. Is there any trick to that Return plenum? I see now that most of the air goes right back to the air handler but some is siphoned off to go outside. The CSA of the p...

Hi. I was hoping I could clarify a few things. In your initial example a ductless system provides 200CFM and 80CFM of fresh air is required. Does that mean if the same system were ducted, you would still need 200CFM but 80CFM from that would be injected into the system from outside? If so, would tha...
