I have a question about installing a minisplit. After watching a
YouTube video of the Install, it looks pretty easy. Is that accurate?
We're considering one for our insulated (2") metal shop which is 20x35.

I know nothing about installation, but we had an 18000BTU Daikin minisplit
installed in our upstairs bonus room. It is nearly the same dimensions as your

There were no pics when I first posted it. I thought it was a pretty useless

The data card for the VIN says it has a 4 speed automatic transmission though,
