Crossy

The QRs "should" be visible without dismembering anything, if everything is above board that is ????

Check the QR codes with the LiFePOQR app (in the Google PlayStore). Or PM me a decent photo of a couple and I'll check. Who did you buy from? Any duty / VAT to pay?

We have several "stainless steel" variants which, if you can "feel" the clutch on a manual transmission, you can easily regulate the flow and not get the involuntary enema

Our man came as predicted at 7.00AM.

Yeah ^^^. Charger installation needs a specialist to ensure it's safe under all circumstances. It really does need someone who knows what they're doing. Also, most (all) won't install on a 15/45, they want a 30/100 or a dedicated 15/45 (which can be TOU for even lower costs). EDIT The home charger installation instructions for a GWM (Great Wall Motors) charger, Thai of course. Installing to those requirements should be good to go for most chargers. Note - I would go for a Type-B RCD rather than the specified Type-A. home-charger-installation-gwm.pdf

The pack on our Sofar hybrid isn't (yet) big enough to store all our daytime surplus so we still spin the meter backwards. But it's soooo, nice that our home power (almost) never actually goes off. The switch from grid to battery is almost seamless, just a flicker from the lights (and the guest A/C stops as it's not on the EPS output). Minimum charge level in normal operation is 35% so even when we're "discharged" there's still 2-3 hours before the genset starts. The genset starts so infrequently now that I've had to start doing check-runs to ensure that it still will.

It couldn't happen to a nicer group of decent fellows Of course, if the BiB were out catching law-breakers the tree would have missed the vehicles.

Yeah ^^^. Pathum Thani take a couple of photos of us with our witnesses with the gate sign visible and one of me and the missus holding our ID, take the (ready prepared) copies of the witness's ID, chat a bit, decline the offered coffee and leave. Half an hour max. The first year they arrived in their (very) marked BMW which caused a bit of a stir in the village "what's Crossy been arrested for?". This year the same lads had a ratty old Toyota (their own) as the Beemer wasn't available. All very pleasant and professional.

OK chaps, whilst the comments on insurance and saving the company $$$ by going home in one piece are valid, can we stick to how to be safe in your own workshop please? This is the DIY forum after all.

Put it with the regular waste, someone will "recycle" it. Maybe give it a label in Thai that it works. What is it? Is it something you could donate to a school? Poor neighbour? If it has personal data do a factory reset!

Can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing please? It's not something I've noticed.

Conversation with Bangkok taxi driver: - "This is not the Finnish embassy!" "Yes sir. See embassy, embassy, embassy. Now finish embassy" Fetching my coat

I think that Sometimewoodworker's excellent safety brief deserved its own topic. So, it's now over in DIY and pinned.

Actually I wonder if a "Workshop Safety" thread would be a good idea. Maybe @sometimewoodworker could put something together?

"Just" a car battery!!! Now consider that 200Ah, 48V LiFePO4 pack!! There's a reason it's behind the Spoiler tags!! You have been warned!!

If you want the full 12 months extension you need >12 months validity left. The rule is they will only issue your extension up to the expiry date of your PP. Once you get your new PP you need to do a new extension. Better organise your new PP in plenty of time.

Dunno about the beer bottles (I like cans**) but Madam definitely gets a few $$$ back on the naam-soda bottles she buys by the crate from the ice-man. ** Cans (and cardboard) of course get recycled by family members. Family restaurant is still recycling the used cooking oil, there's a reason the exhaust from the local farmer's iron-buffalo smells of fried-fish

Nah, my Google Lens (or more likely my brain) is fogged ????

If you've not had a tetanus jab for a while it's got to be good insurance.

Hmmmm, if I'm reading it right looks like you also got the "old" FT discount like @MJCMreported. I wonder if there was a policy change that nobody has heard about? And what is the -46.28 "FT" discount, it mentions EDIT May January 2023? Backdated "correction" from when the full FT was charged last month perhaps?

Yup, I've been there too ???? If it says Local and Delivery by Seller = Drop-ship from China. I avoid unless not otherwise available.

Many modern shower units have them built-in (they might be called RCCB or ELCB, same thing) there should be a "Test" button. Otherwise look at the breaker which feeds the heater or your incoming main breaker.

The easy way to tell an RCD/RCBO is the presence of a "Test" button, no button = no RCD/RCBO.

Oddly enough, the first recorded death by electrocution of a Royal Navy sailor was by a 48V DC supply. Apparently, he became trapped against a bus-bar, couldn't escape and basically "cooked" slowly ????
