That Homepro metal framed desk/table you linked to could easily have a replacement top of the dimensions you want installed. If you can get a piece of 15mm rubberwood sheet (it's made of lots of small blocks bonded together), plywood or MDF cut to size then it's simply a case of sanding it and applying some kind of surface finish. We have a number of folding tables which had chipboard tops. Over the years these fell apart but the frames were fine. New tops using the above material and they are good for many more years (they look better too). This is the stuff https://globalhouse.co.th/product/detail/1219866900014

How about a solar car port on a budget?
Crossy replied to Crossy's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
No, it was just really carp weather ???? 16th was meter reading, but we didn't even get a full charge in the batteries either day. -
How about a solar car port on a budget?
Crossy replied to Crossy's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Here we go with the February numbers. Definitely a month of two halves. Lowest production was 8.9kWh on the 15th, best was a dead heat at 40.9kWh on the 25th and 26th. -
Can anyone identify this spider?

It's Boris! Alternatively, post in https://www.facebook.com/groups/thai.species.id for a rapid ID ???? -
Barclays app issue
Crossy replied to stubuzz's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
You could of course get it paid to your Thai account ... But then ... I'd try to sort another UK account and see what occurs. -

It would certainly be worth checking if it works in the UK before going to the branch. -

OK, worth a shot, in that case no idea ???? Is there an app update that you've not installed? -

Sadly, I'll have to add "yet" ???? Do be prepared with alternative banking arrangements. -

Can you use a VPN to the UK and try again? Barclays do seem to be clamping down on non-resident accounts ???? -
Barclays UK On-shore Accounts
Crossy replied to doctormann's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Yeah, it's a looong time since I switched to my parent's address when my ex. moved and told me to "make other arrangements", and I thought we had an amicable divorce! -

Sadly, i suspect you are correct ???? -
Barclays UK On-shore Accounts

My small PPF (Pension Protection Fund) pension uses an App "mypensionID" which is a piece of cake once set up. They just send me an email each year and the app takes a selfie and another where I blink (to show I'm alive I assume). Easy peasy ???? -
You can't passport swap at a land border. Time to book a couple of cheap flights.

PEA found out meter is spinning backward
Crossy replied to eddysacc's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Not a lot you can do now if they saw your meter going in reverse ???? The worst punishment I'm aware of is a slap on the wrists and the installation of a non-reverse meter. Do keep us informed as to what actually occurs. EDIT If your inverter can do "no-export" it might be wise to set it that way at least until whoever is coming actually comes. -
Barclays UK On-shore Accounts
Crossy replied to doctormann's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
They've not moved for a number of years, I used to be on the electoral roll (probably still am) which, at the time, was adequate. They're not likely to move again. Hopefully they're both good to get their telegram from The King ???? -

Barclays UK On-shore Accounts
Crossy replied to doctormann's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Yeah, it's UK banking legislation that account holders must be UK resident. Banks are gradually clamping down so everyone should really be making suitable arrangements. I suggest it's not a matter of "if" more a matter of "when" your account will get pulled ???? I do maintain a UK address via my parents but that isn't going to last forever (both are in their 90s) and I really don't want to impose on my baby sister. I already have an IoM account with Lloyds (USD, Sterling and Euro) so if the worst happens, I'll move all my banking over there. -
How clean are your solar panels?
Crossy replied to 007 RED's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
@007 RED do you have a link to your brush supplier please? Our walkway is made from 25mm Shera plank https://www.shera.com/products/floor/floor-plank/uncolored-colored-GCW325303000221 I would arrange some brackets so it is horizontal rather than at the same slope as the roof, we definitely don't want you falling off. I'm not convinced by the "30%" although there's no doubt that dust does make some difference. As noted, it's very difficult to quantify unless you're in a lab, the sunshine just isn't constant enough. -
Phuket officials urge airlines not to price gauge on fares

A cat died and went to Heaven. God met the animal at the Pearly Gates and said, “You have been a good cat all of these years. Anything you want is yours for the asking.” The cat thought for a moment and then said, “All my life I lived on a farm and slept on hard, wooden floors… I would like a real fluffy pillow to sleep on.” God said, “Say no more.” Instantly, the cat had a HUGE fluffy pillow. A few days later, 12 mice were simultaneously killed in an accident and they all went up to Heaven together. God met the mice at the Pearly Gates of Heaven, with the exact same offer that He made to the cat. The mice said, “Well, we have had to run all of our lives… from cats, dogs, and even from people with brooms. If we could just have some little roller-skates, we would never have to run again.” God answered, “It is done.” All the mice had beautiful little roller-skates. About a week later, God decided to check on the cat… He found her sound asleep on her fluffy pillow. God gently awakened the cat and asked, “Is everything okay? How have you been doing? Are you happy?” The cat replied, “Oh, everything is just WONDERFUL… I’ve never been so happy in my life! My pillow is always fluffy and those little “Meals-on-Wheels” that You have been sending over are delicious.”
