You could try "turpintine", sorry fetching my coat Builder put it on, builder should get it off, but as @McTavishnotes stripper should be ok on glazed tiles.

Difficult to put absolutes. If it looks and smells OK then it probably is, but I'm not a food hygienist, nor do I play one on AseanNow. General rule when re-heating is to make sure the centre of the food is "piping hot", whatever that really means.

EDIT Thread cleaned up and re-opened at OPs request. Guys, we all know about those "thingies", you can Google to find good ones. What we can't do is discuss them here, it's in the rules. I didn't write the rules. Please keep future posts within all the forum rules otherwise I have no doubt the thread will get locked forever.

A flame and the earlier posts leading to it have been removed. Let's try to play nicely shall we? Please feel free to use the "Report" button rather than responding in kind.

Discount still in place middle of June.

I would encourage users of this type of pack to charge out-doors and invest in a charging bag. It may not stop the spread completely, but should give you time to escape. Or do what Boeing did with the 787 Dreamliner, and put the pack in a metal box. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/portable-fireproof-safety-bag-lipo-guard-explosion-proof-fire-resistant-charging-sack-battery-safe-bag-for-battey-i3238269350-s12043713390.html

The energy density is improving, to the point that most of the Chinese EV manufacturers are moving to LiFePO4. Even Tesla are using LiFePO4 cells in their standard range models.

I think the limit for the FT rebate is now 300kWh/units.

And LiFePO4 packs are much less likely to go fzzt!

Better, or worse??

It's certainly worth getting a guesstimate to move the place, but I suspect it would be cheaper to just build a new one. https://www.sanantoniouncovered.com/2014/01/san-antonio-sets-world-record-largest.html

It really needs to be toughened/tempered for safety. https://www.agc-flatglass.co.th/ should be able to create you a suitable and safe table top. Note, it has to be cut to size before being tempered.

I never really liked the English Electric Canberra (the Lightning was a different beast altogether): - But you really wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of this bad-boy, Handley Page, Victor! OK, I just needed an excuse to post images of some amazing British aircraft! Bonus image. Blackburn Buccaneer.

Make them hail-proof and nature will develop better hail Baseball-sized hail took out a 5.2-megawatt solar farm in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, on Friday, as part of a giant supercell thunderhead that moved across eastern Wyoming and into Nebraska. https://cowboystatedaily.com/2023/06/27/baseball-sized-hail-smashing-into-panels-at-150-mph-destroys-scottsbluff-solar-farm/

Well, yesterday was the last day that our village had an ATM ???? SCB determined that it was not economical to maintain the service. It can't have been due to lack of use; it was always empty on a Sunday afternoon. The nearest ATM is now 2km away, even the nearest 7-Eleven doesn't have one, much to my surprise. Of course, the village "commerce" operates on a cash basis although more and more places are showing QR payment codes. My wife is very much old-school and doesn't want to use QR, the maid is terrified of any technology although she does have a mobile phone (she won't use our front-loading washer), looks like we're back to my giving Madam her housekeeping in cash. Anyone else seeing this trend?

In my continuing quest to ensure that Madam keeps me around, and spurred on by it being a tad warm, today was "fan fixing day". So, three wall fans have got new swing-motors so they now actually swing rather than making nasty grinding noises. One stand-fan has had the thermal fuse replaced (as did one of the wall fans). No, I didn't just short out the thermal fuses! I replace the capacitors as well whilst the beast is in bits. We always buy Hatari fans, they are reasonably priced and spare parts are readily available. If you are really skint then there are chaps in Ban-Mo who re-wind the motors sitting by the side of the road! Is it worth it? A new fan is about 1,500 Baht. A thermal fuse 5 Baht, a swing motor 75 Baht. Of course, it's worth doing, that's beer money! Rewind your fan Guv, best price!

IMPORTANT UPDATE 25/04/22 - All of the guides etc. are now at https://www.localfoodheroes.com/ the links are later in the thread but since we are seeing interest again I've edited the OP. As a Brit I like my bacon sliced a bit thicker than is commonly available here at a sensible price. I'd also rather have "back bacon" not the "streaky" which seems the norm. So I had a go at curing my own. Instructions here http://www.localfoodheroes.co.uk/?e=541 do follow the quantities accurately. Prague Powder #1 from Lazada - https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i168877082-s209361163.html Ziploc bags, Lazada again (I got the biggest I could find) - https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i2330372790-s7881063502.html I left out the optional sodium ascorbate 'coz I couldn't find it. Pig loin from makro, looked for a piece with a bit of fat. I did just a 1kg piece just in case it went wrong, this was a mistake, should have done more After 6 of the longest days in my life we have a result. Looks, smells and tastes just like the real thing. Deemed totally acceptable by Madam, we've nearly scoffed the lot already. Hand slicing, even with Madam's razor sharp cleaver wasn't perfect. Slicing machine on order.

Some of you may remember us building this back in 2015. Thread here https://forum.thaivisa.com/topic/481794-housebuilding-thread/?do=findComment&comment=9603407 Well the time has finally arrived for me to get my finger out and actually put some solar on the car port. We spoke to our local PEA office who were quite enthusiastic and helpful until we said we didn't want to join the government scheme (IIRC it's called My Solar Roof), the contract was too long and restrictive and the feed-in rate silly. So, we are NOT permitted to spin the meter backwards (net-metering) - At least not officially "don't let the meter reader see it going backwards" said the supervisor (he's not over enamoured with the government scheme either). That along with the costs associated with doing the job "officially", approved inverters, approved installers (no DIY) decided me to do this on the QT. Luckily for us (but not my wallet) we have a standing load of about 1100 Watts (mostly Madam's koi and the freezers), our base consumption hasn't gone below 1000 W for the last year or so (yes, I'm sad, we keep a log - ok the supply monitor does). So 1000W or so of solar would cover the base without the meter going backwards and still produce a visible saving on the power bill. A quick and dirty estimate:- 1000W x 5 hours per day = 5 units per day generated. Times 30 days per month = 150 units per month. @ 4 Baht per unit thats 600 Baht per month = 1 case of beer!! Our bill is usually 5500-6000 Baht so 10% reduction, enough to keep Madam's green desires happy. So I went shopping:- 4 x 300W solar panels from Global House - On offer at 3,890 Baht a pop. 2 x 600W WVC micro-inverters from AliExpress - 6,500 Baht for the two including duties and VAT. The cost of the "proper" mounting hardware scared me so a visit to our local steel supplier got us 11/2" square x 2mm wall thickness at 300 Baht a 6m length. I got 6 pieces, we don't need it all for 4 panels but I'm going to put all the mounting stuff up whilst I'm in roof-climbing mode. So 1800 Baht. We also need some stand-off parts to keep everything off the actual roof, I had some 3" x 11/2" x 2mm "in stock" so I made 36 x 100mm long stand off pieces. This steel would probably cost another 400 Baht or so. Washers, self drilling screws, angle fixings, primer and paint are all from stock, but I doubt they would cost more than a grand or so. So, we've spent about 25 grand to save 600 Baht a month. Payback period 41 months, about 3.5 years. I can live with that. I've not decided how to configure the rest of the roof space (there is room for 18 panels) yet, but if back-feeding remains off the option list I expect something with batteries is going to be on the cards (look up hybrid inverters). This would also provide a whole-house UPS facility and render our (noisy) genset redundant. Photos as we progress so hopefully all will become clear. Comments always welcome of course (or I wouldn't be posting).
