2025-08-27 10:55:08 +0000 UTCWhat a job cleaning out the crawlspace but we'll done as that must have been horrible to do. As for the pipeline I can't see it as a mistake more like inevitable with the thickness of the pipes and where it had to go, you have ripped down a house, rebuilt it with one of the most awkward shape roofs ever, nothing is standard or custom so not only are doing it by yourselves there are no manuals on fitting things in the spaces you have, it is annoying and upsetting but not your fault at all, I bet if the professionals fitted it they would have had the same issue, you both are absolutely amazing and I am just so glad I found your channel because watching you two work together like you have and seeing how much closer you have grown together is just so heartwarming and I thank you for making my week so much nicer ❤️❤️

2025-08-25 14:05:13 +0000 UTCConsidering it’s your first time running that non bendy line through the most unusual and difficult of structures, that Mr. Cool probably couldn’t have imagined to design for DIY-ers, you guys are incredible and deserve praise for even attempting!

2025-08-25 10:09:26 +0000 UTCI’m sure you’ve done your research but spray foam has been a problem in the uk with timber rot. It’s led to some mortgage refusals and people having to remove it. Sure it’s fine if done properly but just flagging. House looking great!

2025-08-25 08:21:18 +0000 UTCOmg, if only we'd only had to hire someone to fix our mistakes just once, lol! It's not an unusual part of the process. Even pros mess up! What many people don't realize is that this is a big part of why there's a permit and inspection process. They can sometimes find costly and/or potentially dangerous errors. In your situation you know what happened is bad (nice that neither blamed the other!) and now to figure out a fix. Hopefully it doesn't mean starting over with running the lines. 🤞 You'll figure it out! Not the end of the world.

2025-08-25 06:32:41 +0000 UTCSucks about the coolant line BUT it is very exciting to finally be at the “spray foam the basement and crawl space” phase.

2025-08-25 04:02:21 +0000 UTCIs the foam insulation safe to use?? Sounds chemically 🤔

2025-08-24 22:56:07 +0000 UTCExcellent way to look at this, so healthy. It’s no wonder you two have gotten this far.

2025-08-24 22:01:17 +0000 UTCYou're right, it totally could be worse. You've done amazing! And it's not that it can't be fixed. You just need a little help. Which is totally ok!! ☺️

2025-08-24 21:56:13 +0000 UTCWhy don’t you contact Mr Cool and order a replacement line set rather than trying to repair the break. Much more reliable down the road.

2025-08-24 21:55:42 +0000 UTCSorry about the heat pump thing, but you're right–it's incredible that you built a whole house and it took you 1.5 years to make a mistake big enough to warrant professional help! That's huge props to you, even if it sucks that you struggled so much with the heat pump in the first place! 🫶🏻

2025-08-24 21:54:09 +0000 UTCI’m so sorry about the issue. 😔 I hope you can get it resolved quickly. Hoping someone who’s watching knows someone to help. You both work so hard!
