Oh, yes. I took some 16N sulfuric acid home from the lab one day, to clean something up. Yep, it cleaned it up alright, by dissolving the whole damn thing -

At least I didn't have to worry about "crabs" that night -

16M sulfuric acid!? I never got to mess w that concentration. I remember just 12M being enough to cause combustion from careless students in organic chem lab.

I'm doing HVAC too. Installing a 24k btu mini split by myself. This bastard was a nightmare to hang. Got the outdoor unit in place yesterday. Wiring today.

It's a wall or ceiling unit.

$170 at Menards, who currently have 11% off.

Home Depot was like $330 for the same thing...

Guess it was an HVAC weekend. Noticed my blower laboring Saturday evening so I went down to inspect. Holy crap, the filter was completely loaded. I've had my service schedule down for years and this was unexpected.

Blew out the filter yesterday. Wind changed direction midway through. Now the FRS is covered with dust.
