Did a good chunk of the back today so almost finished! Should have it boxed off tomorrow

Installed the air con today that @dlockers used. Took about 3 hours to install and works great so far!

Also finished more of the fence and put the fence lights up

I'm delighted for you, but that is disturbingly off-centre.

Good thing I wasn’t going for the centre

I can tell, but why

Surely if its a knock through in a big room, having it centred (and consequently lower down) to meet the pitched roof isnt ideal. Would need a wider photo but I think the placement makes sense.

Would love air-conditioning for those 3 to 4 really hot weeks of the year! But they are a bit ugly imo

Where it is means it's hidden from view from the dining/kitchen area and I find it much less in the way being higher up rather than inline with the TV. I've seen loads where they are mounted in the centre so I must be in the minority but I prefer it where it is.

The cooling in the summer is a god send. I can't deal with really hot weather very well! It does come in mega handy for heating too though... Putting the central heating on and then this on heats up the large space way quicker than just the radiators alone.

Fair enough @vail3r, maybe I'm just jealous

Aye they get a good coefficient of performance too if you have a split type unit?

Hugely practical just not that attractive looking. Necessary evil!
