Lava Rock

It could be undersized but try leaving the unit on all day. Maybe turn it on early in the morning. If it was off and you turned it on in the afternoon during peak heat it probably won't be able to cool it quickly. The way they operate is they run nonstop but will run at a very low speed. On low speed my units will only use 150-200 watts. 
How much sun exposure do you have? That has a huge effect on your cooling load. I have a 12k unit in a similar size space that I just leave on and it has no issue keeping up. 

Yeah, I could never do the driveway with a snowblower. I have a lot of driveway and two loops as well. I have plowing lined up, same guy from down in Gorham who has been plowing it for years. Only issue is when he runs out of places to put the snow I need to pay a separate crew to come in with construction machinery to physically haul the snow away and make room around the house and garages. Apparently this happens sometimes and just this past winter it happened  
Snowblower is to clear the deck when needed and the walkways to the front door. 

Went to LL Bean today to grab a couple pair overpriced shorts. It was dead in there. All of Freeport was very quiet. For mid July, it was abnormal

Tor warning over Sebago/Harrison/Otisfield rotation in that cell.

Tstorms sailing north

Pretty gusty atm. Partly sunny

Went to dinner last night for our anniversary. Soon as we approached the door, there was sign that said AC in use, close door behind you. Normally wouldn't think twice but it got me a bit anxious. Thankfully it was early and only one table was seated ahead of us. Waitress wore face shield so that was appreciated. Case number is very low in the town we were in (Paris), but would feel better eating outside.

Side note, we got our new mini ductless heat pump installed. I think the guy undersized the unit. We have 750sqft with 20' cathedral ceilings and he installed 12K btu Daikin. Online load calculators say we should be 15-18K. We ran unit for three hrs yesterday afternoon and we couldn't get temp in room down one degree from 78F. Humidity was lower though and it felt more comfortable.
In comparison, our master bed which is 210sqft has 5K btu and works great.

0.48" overnight. Radar suggests that's gonna be most of it

I literally have no idea how this even happens. The forecast (from pretty much every outlet I've seen) has been no big deal the entire time. Maybe, maybe there was messaging about flash flood risk early one, but that was pretty quickly changed to localized threat.

New heat pump installed yesterday. anxious to try it out today

No AC at house in Maine.  We fan and open windows.

1.18" in the tipper

Round two incoming....

0.54" in round one

Going to get 7-10'd here.

Good AM Moose Pond

Enjoy the trip. Take a hike up Pleasant Mtn if you can.

Seems so odd and unexciting watching brickyard 500 without fans

Fogged in. Did someone spout off and get the CV thread shut down?

No Captain Jack’s this weekend?

Home.
