  1. Thanks for that suggestion. I struggled a bit getting my order through using my US credit card, but hopefully our new vacuum will arrive by April 15th. Amazon UK makes it easy to get purchases to Thailand. I didn't think to check UK. I assumed shipping would be easier/quicker/cheaper from Australia.
  2. I have looked at many shops and I do already have an Electrolux. It's a corded upright and works fine for simple tile floor vacuuming. Unfortunately, we have carpets and a dog that sheds a lot once a year. Our current vacuum has a brush in the head but that brush is only driven by the suction the vacuum cleaner creates. We would like a vacuum with a brush driven by a motor for better results on carpets. This vacuum's suction is also weak and the included tools are junk. I already had to go through a protracted discussion with Electrolux before they would give me a replacement. Their design of the handle and extreme cost cutting use of cheap plastic everywhere lead to the handle breaking in half. No replacement part is available. It seems there isn't a market for higher quality vacuums in Thailand. I did find an imported vacuum (Danish) with a motor driven brush but the reviews were poor and the price high with no attendant improvement in overall quality.
  3. My wife and I are tired of the low quality vacuum cleaners available in Thailand. We want to import one from Australia so we won't need to convert the voltage. Unfortunately, the Shark company don't sell what we want in Thailand and won't ship here. I also spoke to Australian stores that sell them and they seem unwilling to sell to me if my plans are to ship it via 3rd party to Thailand. There are freight forwarding companies that will receive the item and then send to me in Thailand. Has anyone used such a company to get Australian goods to Thailand? Can you recommend or share any concerns about the process?
  4. @sometimewoodworker thanks for taking the time. Somehow I missed that section in the Furniture Fittings catalog or I had a different version. I have now downloaded the same version you used. Häfele does indeed have a good selection.... but still no brass colored glass shelving fasteners. AliExpress has those but not as elegantly designed as Häfele's.
  5. It takes a while to search through all the stuff Häfele sells. I couldn't find anything for glass shelving after going through several catalogs.
  6. Thanks @brianthainess I also found those, but I can't find bronze or brass colored ones for our living room divider. The stainless or brushed stainless will be fine for the bathroom.
  7. The owner of the company who made our glass shower enclosures can get any type of glass we need. We have several doors in our house with tempered glass. I've been sure to use it where appropriate and will use it for shelving as well.
  8. I'm looking to design and build a room divider wall with some glass shelving. They would also make some nice bathroom shelves. I found these from a US company, but I'm hoping to find them here instead of buying from US. A couple of pictures will save me a lot of words..... They're adjustable for glass thickness also.

  9. Wiki says: The pigeon pea is a perennial legume from the family Fabaceae native to the Eastern Hemisphere. The pigeon pea is widely cultivated in tropical and semitropical regions around the world, being commonly consumed in South Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean.
  10. In Mar. 2006 I got 39.19 per US$ via the old Bangkok bank NY method. I don't count that as being close to 36.37
  11. I only got to use the IBM 029 for 1 semester when I took my first computer class as an engineering student. It was a monster of a machine and so rugged. Our school switched to an online Xerox Sigma 9 system with about 30 TTY's on which we spent hours playing a text based game called Star Trek. Later in subsequent CS classes we used Unix, RSTS/E and RSX-11 on DEC PDP-11 in assembler language and C of course. Those were the days, my friend... We thought they'd never end.
  12. It seem as if forum management has determined that if you can manage to login, your IQ is high enough to allow posting.
  13. Everyone except Skip's favorite monetized YouTuber is lying!
  14. Sadly all too many of those stories are true. We definitely hired one of the better construction firms, but still they did not think things through on many small issues. We're in Hang Dong. Are you around CM area?
