  1. Bu99er, that's messed up my ROI calculations for our solar
  2. Nice result ???? The options for "do it differently" have improved over the last few years. There are a fair number of on/off grid hybrids now that will happily run as grid-tie with no ESS and export excess energy. When the no-reverse meter comes along add an ESS and re-configure the inverter to not export ???? EDIT For interest our 10.6kWP hybrid system with 12kWh ESS will pay for itself after about 5.25 years, 1.7 years to go ???? If we get there without getting an electronic meter I'll be happy, if we do get an electronic meter I'll have to add more storage which would push payback out to around 7.5 years total ????
  3. So, the transfer to your wife was done at the land office and the necessary fees and taxes paid? As to the house, as others have noted it's generally considered that the person named on the building permit is the owner of the house. The problem is always going to be that the house sits on the land so they're never going to be easily separated and you can bet that family will already have taken "measures" particularly if they think you're on your last legs. Also as noted, when you're dead you aren't going to care, but if your wife dies first you could be in a world of hurt ????
  4. They do something similar each year, either portable or more permanent, it certainly keeps more water in the channel but just how much effect it really has downstream is debatable.
  5. Very difficult to predict really, it depends upon the weather (obviously) but also upon how the authorities decide to manage the levels in the dams. This time last year Pak Kret was just below the red sign on the level indicator and we had water in the house. We don't want that again this year!!
  6. Edited the topic title for clarity.
  7. Close, but no cigar ???? It was Hong Kong but in 1998 The girl was Korean It wasn't the roof but it was a high floor in the Marco Polo Hotel, Tsim Sha Tsui so we could see the city lights. As always, the lady in question was great fun, sadly she wouldn't marry me (asked twice) ????
  8. As the crowded elevator descended, Mrs. Simpson became too furious with her husband, who was delighted to be pressed against a gorgeous blonde. As the elevator stopped at the main floor, the blonde suddenly whirled, slapped Mr. Simpson, and said, "That will teach you to pinch!" Bewildered, Mr. Simpson was halfway to the parking lot with his wife when he choked, "I...I...didn't pinch that girl." "Of course you didn't," said his wife, consolingly. "I did."
  9. Joe took his blind date to the Barnsley Feast. "What would you like to do first, Kim?" asked Joe. "I want to get weighed," she said. They ambled over to the weight guesser. He guessed 120 pounds. She got on the scale; it read 117 and she won a prize. Next the couple went on the dodgems. When the ride was over, Joe again asked Kim what she would like to do. "I want to get weighed," she said. Back to the weight guesser they went. Since they had been there before, he guessed her correct weight, and Joe lost his money. The couple walked around the Feast and again he asked where to next. "I want to get weighed," she responded. By this time, Joe figured she was really weird and took her home early, dropping her off with a handshake. Her roommate, Laura, asked her about the blind date, "How'd it go?" Kim responded, "Oh, Waura, it was wousy."
  10. A little before high-tide at Pak-Kret. Creeping into the orange, not particularly worrying for us. Yet!!
  11. Please check your actual required load (just add up the Watts of each device) so we can be sure just how much energy you will need.
  12. I too am thinking of a Portable Power Station type device, add a couple of panels to make it solar too. Something along these lines, maybe with a bigger internal battery. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/ecoflow-river-2-max-portable-power-station-i4783928555-s19767762134.html
  13. I've merged the responses into this thread so we're good to go ????
  14. @KhunLA I think continue here to avoid the other thread going off topic. I'll hide / move those posts.
  15. "Lord, I have a problem." "What's the problem, Eve?" "I know that you created me and provided this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, as well as that hilarious snake, but I'm just not happy." "And why is that, Eve?" "Lord, I am lonely, and I'm sick to death of apples." "Well Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you." "Man? What is that Lord?" "A flawed creature, with many bad traits. He'll lie, cheat and be vain; all in all, he'll give you a hard time. But he'll be bigger, faster and will like to hunt and kill things. I'll create him in such a way that he will satisfy all your physical needs. He will be witless and will revel in childish things like fighting and kicking a ball about. He won't be as smart as you, so he will also need your advice to think properly." "Sounds great," says Eve, with ironically raised eyebrows, "but what's the catch, Lord?" "Well ... you can have him on one condition." "And what's that, Lord? " "As I said, he'll be proud, arrogant and self-admiring ... so you'll have to let him believe that I made him first. And it will have to be our little secret ... you know, woman to woman."
  16. Apparently a 14 year old kid!!
