Anyone installed a mini-split AC system in their shop?  It looks like its
effective and can save a bunch of money if you do it yourself.  My problem
is sizing it.  I've got about 1000 sq ft (35 x 28) with 17' ceilings.  Two
insulated overhead doors (12x14 and 10x10).  The shop is reasonably well
insulated (mostly) and I'm in southern Indiana (often low-mid 90's and
humid).  I'd probably put it midway up the wall and have it blow out into
the bays.

I'm considering buying an initial 2 or 3 ton unit and then I can add one if
its not enough.  I'm also wondering whether those of you who have AC run it
all the time or only when you're in the shop?

Suggestions?
