I built a small workshed in my backyard where I can tackle furnishing refinishing projects.
As a activity, I adore to find older pieces of furniture that are constructed of hardwood but have been mistreated.
I can often find actually beautiful, antique cupboards, tables, dressers and desks that have been painted over. They might be missing hardware or seem hideous simply because of the color. Beneath the layers of paint is often gorgeous wood such as oak, black walnut and cherry. The process of refinishing each piece is labor-intensive, time-consuming and messy. I need to use serious chemicals and electric sanders. There’s tons of fumes and dust. Plus, I need a wipe and temperature controlled environment to apply the final finish of polyurethane. To accommodate my requirements, I outfitted the workshed with a ductless heat pump. This was an ideal choice because the heat pump is compact and required actually little for replacement. The outdoor compressor is linked to the indoor air handler by a narrow conduit that fits through a more than two-inch hole in an exterior wall. The plan runs on electricity and is especially energy efficient. The indoor air handler mounted up high on the wall, is unobtrusive and lightweight. It operates quietly, filters out contaminants and provides both heating and cooling capacity. I especially adore that I can operate it through an app on my iPhone. I’m able to start up the heat pump shortly before I head out to labor on a single of my projects. Within a few minutes, the plan achieves a comfortable temperature.
