You know, something that is lacking on this site is detail comms info. Just a thought, hint, hint.
Oh, its there, he is just not "Detailing" it...

Jr that’s my first mini split and I am amazed. It’s super quiet and very effective.

One of the big things is they are not open to outside air like a standard window AC.

I wold not consider that tin can a ground until grounded like you did.

Agreed JR. I am considering some fresh air exchange mechanism since there are no windows and the door is well sealed. I’m sure it would take hours to deplete the O2 but just in case.

Smart idea. Planning on another and a center area right? Are you painting the outside to blend in?

Might add another in the future. I’m just ready to get done with the guest house and seacan and rest for a while.

I have the paint already. Just need to pressure wash and spray.

Correct Shawn.  Actually there are 4 at the work station end. After that pic was taken I bent and installed conduit and double duplex boxes for a separate 20 amp circuit in the workshop area. All I have to do now is pull 12 ga wire and install the outlets. Then I’ll install the 1x4 around the bottom of the walls and sweep and vacuum. Waiting on my shelves to come in so I can get all that set up and then I have to go get my reloading stuff from my bro in laws.

Then on to pressure wash and paint the outside.

I may paint the floor but that's about it.  once I get the shelves and reloading and amateur radio stuff in then I can reassess.

I will probably add some fresh air venting that I can control when I'm working.

Yesterday I began the process of weaponry relocation (what wasnt already at the hide....err...spa and resort) and moved my big gun safe  on the trailer with the help of 2 friends and a furniture dolly.  Sketchy for sure.  One thing for sure once it was flat on its back on the trailer it didnt need to be strapped to anything....

Bought another smaller safe and put just the essentials in it at the main house so I can fight my way to the next location.  My Wilson Combat 870, an LMT AR and a couple of Glocks along with several loaded Magpul 60 round mags, glock mags, in a chest rig and a shell bandolier for the shotshells should be enough.  If not then it wouldn't matter anyway since that's all I can carry at once anyway.

This morning I was able to lift the safe off the trailer with the tractor....barely.  And now I'm trying to figure out rigging to get it nosed into the seacan door so I can shove it with the tractor.  Then I'll get my daughter to help me stand it up on the furniture dolly.  When I weighed 30 pounds more I could tip it myself but I just don't have enough weight at 220 to tip it.  She put a shovel under the other end and put her weight on it to help and I was barely able to get it tipped.

I also have about half my reloading stuff which took up the entire back seat area in bins and the front seat too.  This week I'll get down to my BIL to pick up the majority of my reloading stuff.  Looking forward to some berger 175 VLD load development in my 308.  And maybe some sub sonic 210 VLD that Ive had sitting around.  I need to get another scope for the GAP 300 win mag since I traded off the US Optics I had on it.  Then that will lead to a new can cause that bad boy packs a punch.  Probably a 338 can to get some extra volume.

That will probably be next year at the earliest since I still need to finish the inside of the casita

Rollers Charles, 3/4” pipe I’m sure you have some around.
Slope the grade if it isn’t to be flush with door, couple planks or sheet of ply and a few chunks of pipe. Roll to location and stand it up.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb.  I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.

good luck man, I know my new safe (National Safe ) was all two guys could handle from the truck through the garage into the wreck room. After all was said and done, it looks nice either from the room or outside looking in. If it is druggy, they want it now, so will move along to the neighbor hopefullyr, if not, well they would find it anyway.

I think getting into the container is the trick. When I got mine we laid it down for the ride home. Getting it out and upright was the work and I painted the bottom which was done at the factory.

Once upright in the garage it was easy on 2 dolly's, left it on the pallet!
