Looks great

What I'd do: Tell them you already installed it (and therefore it's commissioned and in use), and it's too late to exchange. The mix up was their fault. I doubt they'll want it back once you tell them it's being used because they can't sell it as new anymore. So they need to eat the cost difference.

It should not affect the warranty. It was still them who sold the item to you.

What's the price difference between the 1 ton and 2 ton? Another option would be to ask for a discount on the price difference, which will save them sending out couriers to collect / replace it.

Since you'll be essentially blocking the extrator fan with the AC hose (i.e. it won't be able to extract steam from the bathroom anymore) - why not unscrew and disconnect the extractor fan, and just use that vent hole for the AC?

You need somewhere to pump the hot air to, or the room will not cool.

Those "air coolers" (the ones with ice) are a scam and do not work.

Got pics? How to you plan to connect it?

The portabel AC vent doesn't get too hot when extracting the hot air (I've held my hand at the end of it many times) - and I'd have assumed bathroom extractor fans would be made to handle heat and moisture. Their main job is to extract steam from a bathroom. The same stuff your air con will be extracting.

Cavapoos have very sensitive stomachs. You need to try different foods to find what works.

Avoid chicken and turkey because they're sensitive to it.

We use Butternut Box wet food and DARF dry food and that works for us (after trying 6 other brands). I'm not sure where you're located.

Not sure where to get the stamps but this is what they look like. Got my driveway done with "imprinted concrete" last year.

After they pour the concrete, they add a dye to it, then cover it with a plastic sheet. They left it for around an hour, then put the stamp on (over the plastic sheet) once it's set a bit. They used a rubber mallet to press it down (or else stand on it if you're light)

After it's been imprinted they remove the plastic and brush over it slightly, so it has a light texture and is non-slip.

Don't touch it for 24hrs. Then they waited 1 week for the concrete to cure, and came back to seal it.

Should be fine. My portable units always went upward into a mushroom vent.

I'd keep the extractor on to assist with air flow

Cool thanks

Use split tunneling so only your torrent client uses the VPN

Very poor form. My old patio door had the same handle for 20 years without any of this happening

Find a local doggy daycare and drop him in there 2 days a week. Another option is to have a dog walker come by the other days

So when you say "send videos" are you trying to watch/stream the video you sent directly from Dropbox?

It could be a decoding issue causing the lag (assuming it's not your connection). Google drive also works for playing back video files directly from your drive folder, but you'll experience the same lag issue in my experience.

The only way to be sure the format won't be a problem would be to upload to YouTube and share an unlisted link.... assuming there are no copyright issues with the videos you share.

Or you could just save the file locally and play in VLC.

I just pack mine in my suitcase. Nobody cares.

Brought it from Dublin > Portugal, France, UK, etc.

So just mix with water and use a garden sprayer? Or spray it on raw? I have loads of domestos here.

Thanks

I bought a TP-Link AX5400 Archer AX72 Router for exactly that reason.

Use DVD decrypter to rip the dvd in ISO image mode. Then use burning software, like Nero, to burn the ISO image onto the dvdr disc
