    Won't ever be this clean again.

    New evolution zone system I put in. 3 ton 19 seer, 005 fan coil, 15kw heat, 2 zones, oversize dampers, 5" filter...

    I hate putting equipment in before they paint!!!

    Supply goes into the crawl. As does return. No attic to work with. To do it over I would have put it in a closet centered in the house. Yeah I have a reverse bender attachment. I made all those bends in the garage, then shoved it outside and made my bend down the wall. No pics of the outside, It doesn't look bad just sits out too far from the house for my liking.

    That's beautiful metal work sir. Can I admit that you inspire me to strive for perfection and have every detail as thought out as you do.

    Only I have to use more off the shelf items.

    Thanks, it helps having access to a custom duct shop. Can pretty much make anything that will fit on a sheet of metal.

    Bunch of custom stuff in the crawl. Actually a ton of ductwork in the crawl. I spent 3 1/2 days down there by myself hanging it all. Two 8x24 trunks and a 8x20. All metal. No flex or ductboard in this job.

    I keep a ton of miscellaneous fasteners, clamps, straps, ect, on the truck. If you have the right piece for what your doing it makes it look that much better.

    Kinda like that large pvc reducer the drain fits in.

    Do you use mastic in careful caulk gun on all the seams?

    Mastic in the crawl. Most every joint you see here, base to floor, fancoil to base, transition to fan coil, filter to transition, filter to duct has foam tape on it to seal it. A good slip and drive joint doesn't really leak much. Ill sometimes silicone the corners of some pieces if there are holes with some silver silicone. Got 1/8x1/2, 1/8x1 and 3/4x1 foam tape on the truck. Nice stuff, use alot of it.

    The 1 1/2" to 3" reducer was left by the plumber,

    Very nice work!! As a service tech, I appreciate seeing all the manuals left where they will do the next guy some good. We started installing a metal file box for all paperwork on the drop of our installs, seems like manuals tend to
    " walk-off " when left laying around. H/O always puts them somewhere, then forgets where!! Again, very nice work.

    Ah Jimmeyed, that metal is shiny. Very nice as usual.
    You need to put the phone down and get back to work!

    Very impressive. And you're right, it will probably never be that clean again. But that's Ok, that's more job security on your part when you have to go back and repair a part that was damaged because the owner didn't keep things clean and dust free.

    They primered the house after drywall. A little dust on it is all. Still pretty clean.

    Very nice! Just a thought for the next time, cover it up with some plastic sheeting and painters tape until the painting is done. I've done that in the past and then I write on the tape that it's ok for the painter or general to take it off when he's done.
    Use the biggest hammer you like, pounding a square peg into a round hole does not equal a proper fit.

    Love the your sheet metal and copper true craftsmen. When you do down flow fan coils make do make a supply drop separate or all piece because angle to the fan coil box to floor. Really looks great.
