I dunno about the "being in canada" thing
i would suggest that i could safely clasify the
temperature as bloody
hot at the moment
32 C with 80 % humidity
still it's not Dubai, but it' not Wales either!

a bit of decent AC would be quite nice.
If only I could charge the system with snow in the
winter and use that
to cool the interior during the summer.......

at the mo, with advice from the list, i'm looking at
an R12 substitute
as opposed to R134.
