Ac running a lot during the heat wave. Mowers knocked it out of whack. Read the compressors oil will lean to the side and shorten the life.

Another fine install

I know the tile is uneven, not sure what I expected but it doesn’t look like a great install to me. Am I wrong? Do I ask them to redo it?

Compressor was found about 50’ away. Previous homeowner installed himself. Be careful out there.

Hi all. First time basement dwellers

we have a ground level apartment with a basement. The basement is large, 4 rooms and a common area. In 2 of the rooms there are vents that go out back for airflow, I assume. They have an exit at the backyard hatch. We have another vent in the common area that presumably does the same thing; it routes through the maintenance basement outside to the front. At times, we deal with humidity and a lack of airflow in the basement and thought we could use a portable AC to get some cool air/dehumidify. For the time being, we Jerry rigged the ac vent to the common area vent using tape. We turned the ac on to 70 auto and lots of hot air was blowing out of the vent (we left a portion untaped just incase. We tested the airflow by going outside and putting our hand to the outlet, where we felt a slight blow of hot air. Our question is - should this work? Is there anything wrong with the setup? Are these vents not meant for ac output?

Thanks in advance.

Exposed foundation on victorian farmhouse to install drainage for our leaky basement and found issues! Trying to figure out best way to fix. Found an article online where someone formed up and poured concrete against a foundation (their diagram is hard to read). Has anyone had experience doing it this way or would mortar be best? So grateful for any suggestions.

Update to my last post. Its not ai and or temporary. They are for real and proud.

The man is self taught and has made the concrete slabs by himself, that weigh about 150kg/ 330lbs. There has been overwhelmingly more mockery than praise around the building, so I want an opinion or first impressions from you experts if this seems like safe house to live in. Sorry for the limited information
