  1. Wifey gets my casuals (T's, cargo shorts and chinos) at the Export Shop in Future Park (Google for other locations), work shirts and pants tailored by a little shop in the midst of Rangsit market smile.png

  2. At least you appear to have earthing, what's been done is most definitely not best practice but is unlikely to be unsafe, leave it alone unless you really want to start pulling more green wire around.

    Install your RCBOs first, they will make a significant improvement to the safety of the installation, fettle the earthing as the second job.

  3. Everything Electau said ^^^ smile.png

    Pop one of the outlets off the wall (power off please) and check there are three wires, one should be green, that should confirm that the ground is connected at one end.

    Remove the lid from your consumer unit (distribution panel) and check that the green wires are connected to the ground bar within and that the ground bar has a fat wire leading to the building earth. Take care, some parts inside are still live even with the main switch off.

    If you want to use an adaptor make sure that you get one with three pins which connects the earth.

    Despite all the above, deliberately connecting oneself to an electrical system installed by Somchai Electrics is not something I would really want to do.

    I'm not convinced that these earthing mats have any health benefits, but that's up to you (the placebo effect can be very powerful), why not get a piece of aluminium foil and connect it to the earth pin (use a 1M Ohm resistor for safety), much cheaper than the earthing mat?

    If you have questions or are not sure what you are seeing, take some photos and post here.

  4. Not to get away from Morakot's problems, but how does my CU look? Crossy, Electau do you see any problems or safety hazards?

    Apart from the incorrect colour code, far too neat for its own good. But don't worry, a couple of additions by local sparkies will bring it up to standard.

    You have two earth rods?

    No MEN connection, assume your area is still TT.

    Neutral from your SPD has no number (OK getting desperate), by the way, where is the live for the SPD connected to? If you are TT connected you should be providing SPD L-E and N-E (some would want L-N too) for complete protection.

  5. What happens when you get blonde genies?

    A white guy is walking along a beach when he comes across a lamp partially buried in the sand. He picks up the lamp and gives it a rub.

    Two blonde genies appear, and they tell him he has been granted three wishes.

    The guy makes his three wishes and the blonde genies disappear.

    The next thing the guy knows, he's in a bedroom, in a golf-course mansion, surrounded by 50 beautiful women.

    After he makes love to all of them, he begins to explore this fabulous house.

    Suddenly he feels something soft under his feet, he looks down and the floor is covered in $100 bills.

    Then, there's a knock at the door.

    He answers it and standing there are two persons dressed in Ku Klux Klan outfits. They drag him outside to the nearest tree, throw a rope over a limb and hang him by the neck until he's dead.

    As the Klansmen are walking away, they remove their hoods. It's the two blonde genies.

    One blonde genie says to the other one, 'I can understand the first wish having all these beautiful women in a big mansion to make love to..

    I can also understand him wanting to be a millionaire..

    But why he wanted to be hung like a black guy is beyond me.'

  6. Hmmm, do you have a separate RCD box (often marked Safe-T-Cut) that tripped?

    If not and you managed to trip one of those MCBs with a 25W lamp are you sure the lamp was wired correctly?

    Either way, looks like there is at least a usable ground in the box :)

  7. Officially sanctioned (by the monks) move-in date is Saturday 28th July.

    STRESS!!

    We're moving ourselves as we only have to go about 10km, gradually shifting stuff a couple of loads per day before it gets too hot.

    I'm 100% certain that the stuff we are moving is sneeking back to the apartment whilst we are asleep, the condo does not seem to be getting any less full whilst the house still seems empty.

    True installed dish and receiver, gas bottle delivered and chained up, TOT coming to do the phone 'soon' so we'll be on Edge internet for a while I suspect :(

    More photos when we are actually in and straightened up.
