I believe there is a drip line on the furnace to handle that. I'll update this thread with more detailed info & pics when I get a chance.

I want to completely get rid of my swamp cooler and retro fit in HVAC into my existing furnace/duct work.

I live in New Mexico where the majority of homes use "Swamp Coolers" to keep their homes cool during the summer. I've been thinking about converting my existing system to refrigerated air using the same duct work if possible. Has anyone had any experience doing this? I have a 2000sq ft home...

glennjanie is right you need to get your contractor on the phone and have him fix HIS mistake.

I love these time-lapse vids, thanks for posting it.

wow, that is alot of osb!

Looks good, can't wait to see some more progress pics.

Very nice work! Thanks for posting your pics.

Great job Phatboy, I just finished reading all 21 pages of your post and I wanna run to Home Depot and pick up some materials for my own reno. Hope to see more updates soon. BTW, what program are you using to do your drawings of your house?

Thanks for the reply ToolGuy. I just got back from Home Depot and they told me the same thing. I got a shallow can and it fit with room to spare.

Question would the depth of the inner ceiling matter? The reason I ask is, because my house has a flat roof and there is only 8 inches to play with as far as depth goes. Sorry for hijacking this thread.
