Complex answer needed if you can provide reasoning. 18k BTU mini split needs 8 extra feet after a 25-ft line set. Will there technically still be enough refrigerant to run in a mild climate. For heating, only the added 8' of 1/4" line needs to be further filled with refrigerant. Considerations?

The reason I'm asking is for someone that's doing an install and has a 25-ft line set and unlikely be able to top up the refrigerant for the added 8 ft extension. There are obviously multiple factors that go into added refrigerant amounts per foot or meter extension, but what are the other factors that aren't considered, climate / operating temperatures, ultimate load on the unit if undersized or oversized, other factors? A unit will obviously still function properly if it's 1 ft over 25 ft, but when does 2 ft or 3 ft or 4 ft become an absolute issue.

Kind of looking for a brainstorm to learn more about this detail. Learn some people's experiences. I'm of course assuming that no refrigerant is added and that the outdoor unit only supplies the 25 ft of refrigerant that originally came with a unit. I'm also considering this in a relatively mild climate such as the Pacific Northwest.

Hoping to help an old friend (single mum) repair this roof. Looking for a list of points on how to fix the perimeter edge as plywood is showing, and general advice. Perhaps use some silicone seal or does it really need a full repair? Honest advice appreciated.

Last weekend I got to see the Princeton Jet Wind Vane. It was very cool and very impressive when it turned quickly.✈️ If you get a chance to see it, I'd recommend.

From the discover Princeton website... "Enjoy B.C.’s largest Jet Wind Vane. The T33 Mark 3 Silver Star is located at the entrance to the Airport on Highway 5A. This aircraft turns with the wind and the cockpit solar panels light up its landing lights at night".

I have deduced that very likely my Miele stick vacuum battery went dead because these two fuses blew. Can anybody help me with what exact replacements are needed? New batteries are $200 Canadian and I'm hoping that with my soldering abilities I can replace these two fuses.

Deerland Update from another person. Onsite Images. Seems as indicated, but still strange to have so much Disney stuff.

I decided to take a walk to the infamous Deerland place, as I drove by earlier today and saw some lights on. I saw basically only what I have for pictures. Trampoline area confirmed. Lots of games and random stuff including Disney imagery.

I was outside for maybe 4 mins and two gentlemen came driving up and honking at me. I casually turned around because I really wasn't doing anything wrong and said, "Been really interested, wanted to come see what's been happening." Waved at them and started walking on. They had construction stuff and as I left they let themselves in. I didn't really hear anything they said as I had my headphones in.

It definitely seems odd how they have gone about advertising, building and opening the place, but it seems legitimate and I'll definitely go check out what I can when they open. :) Interesting nonetheless.

This is your on location investigator, Geoff, signing off.
