  1. My evening routine only involves alcohol (and food of course)
  2. It would be better to use your vice rather than a hammer, much more controllable and better for your fingers. Crimper still under warranty?? I bought a purely mechanical hand-crimper years ago in India, it has 50cm handles and does the job just fine up to 35mm2.
  3. I had exactly this issue a couple of years back, noticed it on expiry day ???? The Labour Dept said that if I let it expire, we had to re-start from scratch. That was a very busy day but we managed! Of course, YMMV.
  4. The airport staff do tend to be on the lookout for the easy stuff, booze, tobacco and the like. If it looks "hard" then it becomes invisible. I had a laser printer in its original packing (no, not as carry on), "sir, what's in the box?", "a printer", "OK thankyou sir". No warranty implied or inferred, YMMV!
  5. Yup, not just Aseannow, most sites that use Cloudflare pop this up on occasion. The price of extra security ????
  6. Our roof space is passive ventilated, but we have gables with large vents (and creature screens). There's a significant flow through even on calm days. Anything with moving parts is going to need maintenance at some point and roof penetrations will leak at some point (just after you've been up there fixing the fan). In the absence of gables, soffit (air in) and ridge (hot air out) but these really need installing at construction.
  7. Not strictly Motoring only, so let's pop this over to the Alternative Energy Forum. Yeah, there's no one-size-fits all energy solution. Hydrogen is great for applications that really need fast re-fuelling or weight saving (long haul trucking, aircraft), but as noted it's horribly energy inefficient.
  8. She can use Google Translate as well as anyone ???? She would need to anyway, the menu is Thai only and no pictures.
  9. Paid for by Mr A.N.Other of course
  10. On the subject of easements. Hopefully there is an access easement in place so you can use the road to get to the property. If there was any sense involved when it was created it would include utilities (power and water).
  11. @NamRutai I've merged your two identical topics into this one. As noted, Bangkok is BIG. We know where you don't want to go, but we don't know where you are. Do you have transport? Help us to help you.
  12. We were in here on Saturday, decent food, great river views, no tourists. https://goo.gl/maps/8V8FyNv35o8RpZWTA
  13. If you have a hot-air gun you may be able to loosen things, but a hair-dryer won't be hot enough ????
  14. It's right up there with the main reasons yes.
  15. Many of these lights are sealed for life, when they fail it's time for the landfill ????
  16. It all hinges on who owns the road. If it's actually a government road PEA should have an automatic easement to run power. If it's not government, then you will need to obtain an easement to run the poles. This would likely entail talking to every owner. Starting point should probably be your local land office (maybe kick off with a chat to your village puyai-baan), they may have a procedure in place to set up easements "easily". It's not like this is a unique situation. Or maybe PEA can help, aided by a little "lubrication" These problems are rarely insurmountable and those plots are likely to need power in future anyway.
  17. If correctly installed and grounded there's no risk from an internal L-E short, the MCB will open. They are not portable so no trailing cable to cut. This assumes your system is wired to the required TNC-S with MEN earthing (a N-E link in the distribution box). If you are TT (no N-E link, just a rod) then everything needs earth leakage protection to be 100% safe.
  18. The "up to 150kWh" (low usage) tariff which applies only to those with a 5/15 meter, it is of course perfectly possible to go over 150 kWh in a month without overloading that meter, hence the rates for higher usage. Those (most) of us on the "over 150kWh" tariff don't get the more graduated rates below 150kwh.
