thanks man!!!
Ridge is vented, two 9k CFM 60" fans, and a mini split that has a .93 gal/hr dehu dry mode. Will do gable vents if i need to
Ceiling above the mezz is open so it's hard to know how the air will flow as 12' of the ceiling isn't closed in and won't be insulated like the rest

No E30 updates, but I got the barn wired and the ceiling closed in this weekend!! Hanging 36 sheets of 3/4" OSB over your head ain't no joke- can't thank the homies Casey and Clint enough for the help.
I made a floor plan, and against my initial assessment, I'll be able to fit the lift in here while still having more available shelving than I have at my current spot! I bought two 60" ceiling fans that'll move 9000cfm each, and ran outlets by the lift on separate 20a circuits so I'll have enough juice for whatever I need with separate light switches for upper/lower mezzanine. I still have to run another 20a circuit for a commercial dehumidifier and then I'll be set. Going to terminate the electric and hang lighting next weekend. The 30x38 main floor will have five rows of two 8' 9k lumen LEDs, and then above/below the mezz (12x30) will have 4 of the same 8' LEDs each. In the back of my current warehouse (40'x50') I only have 3 of the same 8' LEDs and it lights the place up fine, so I should be able to get a tan in the new barn, comparatively speaking. The lights also have the ability to daisy chain 4 each which I'm not taking advantage of, so adding additional lighting will be simple, should I find it necessary later on. I wanted to do a mini split, but am going to focus on moisture mitigation/insulation first to get that squared away so I can more efficiently do HVAC later.
Once the wiring is terminated I'll insulate and then can start moving stuff in!!! Getting there, slowly but surely

tiz true, hoopties Sanden conversion cracked an alloy fitting at the end of last season that I have yet to fix.
craigslist rebuild paid off!!
After the last compressor failed, I swapped the new compressor onto texas holdem (it's a 4seasons bosch rebuild, same line style as the seiki), successfully pulled vacuum, slightly overcharged it because I overlooked something, recovered some, and all is well.
I need to put some A/C tape on the expansion valve, reassemble interior, fix some other odds/ends and it'll be almost ready to list!!! I am quite ready to put this one behind me.
This is colder than my sanden car (older style aux fan still on low speed which I'm going to fix when I get the car back).
The A/C solutions CSF condenser set up for the 13" spal is tempting for the sanden car, but I think it'll be fine once I put the later style fan on and bypass the low speed resistor.

**edit** looking at this the following day, the condenser to compressor hose is already splitting lol. oh the joys of old car life

The midwest definitely has its way with these cars. People always brag about their unrusty cars out here and I threaten to start poking.
ignorance is bliss methinks

Well that didn't last long lol. There's actually a shaft seal you can buy for these Seiko-seiki compressors (MT2037), but I know exactly 0 people who have replaced them without a blowout immediately following replacement

Thankfully, I know a guy

bummer about the compressor but you'll get it sorted!

every time a shiny car like that drives into the shop i have to have a sit down talk with it letting it know that its parts will be used to save other little cars that are needing help in different ways but unfortunately...... there are no other little cars that have available to donate what it needs to live, so it must prepare for its next life as the frame of a microwave or mailbox.
always a tough chatLeave a comment:

beauty is in the eye of the beholder ;)
This is what too rusty looked like to me on that '91:

That foam corner removal is also the secret to being able to get to the upper right evaporator cover bolt without a swivel. Definitely don't recommend it on a cream puff car, but once it's done and you have working A/C, it is quickly forgotten.Leave a comment:
