  1. It was worth a shot. There are loads of suitable pumps around of course, sadly unless you get an identical unit you're going to need some plumbing. Could you post a photo of the existing unit, members may be able to suggest a (almost) drop-in replacement. We have a Grundfos unit, now 13 years old, it's had a new capacitor and a replacement pressure tank. silent in operation but not cheap. Misubishi pumps have a good reputation at the other end of the cost range without going too cheap and nasty.
  2. Firstly, are you certain it's not just the pump capacitor?? Does the pump buzz and get warm or do nothing??
  3. Yeah, we're keeping a weather eye on the river but at present it's well below "worry" level, not even near "nervous". But things can change quite quickly. The building work is all part of Madam's Master-Plan to enclose (and A/C of course) our downstairs living area. I've already planned space for more panels!
  4. That's actually for our flood-wall, hopefully to be mostly complete when the river arrives 🙂
  5. Numbers for September. Grand-daughter is here, the water heaters are still on the grid. These factors lead to a PEA consumption of about 2kWh per day, about double what it is when there's just me and the missus. We also took delivery of a large box from China; contents 8 x 280Ah Eve cells and 3 x battery box / BMS (I have cells for the two extra boxes). I promised Madam that there wouldn't be any more (no more space in the battery shed).
  6. Piece of cake to set up a free account 🙂
  7. It's this one in the Google Play store. EDIT It looks like it's only available in the Thai PlayStore, it is available on Apkpure for those who don't want to set up a local Google account.
  8. Some big swings predicted towards the end of October.
  9. Sunday evening high tide. Into the yellow ...
  10. Q1 - Connect your earth to whichever busbar is indicated as being for earth 🙂 Do NOT connect it to the incoming neutral, it's pretty obvious from earlier posts that your building is not wired for MEN. Keep it as TT, you have individual RCBOs so you have excellent safety. Q2 - It really doesn't matter although putting the heavier loads to the left certainly doesn't hurt.
  11. I'd start a new thread with a relevant title, makes it easier for search-engines to find your content.
  12. Google Lens is your friend. What kind of PVC are you fixing, PVC covering or rigid PVC structure (plastic chair).
  13. Yeah, that was my thought too. In 2011 we had about 30cm of water in the house, sadly we were too far along with construction to raise our floor levels by much. In 2022 the water just crept into the lowest parts of downstairs. EDIT Madam indicates the water level post the 2011 flood.
  14. We are keeping a very close eye on things; we got pretty damp in 2022. We are in the process of building permanent flood defences as part of Madam's home modification process.
  15. Friday evening high at Pak Kret and Mueang Pathum Thani. Definitely a degree of upness, nothing to worry about yet.
  16. If you don't want to watch the presentation (it's definitely a bit dry), here's a good article discussing the major points. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/douglas-engelbart-invented-future-180967498/
  17. Indeed, I tend to avoid video conferences too. But the presentation is so much more than just the video interaction bit. It's the whole concept of WIMP (Windows, Icons, Menus, Pointer) interface and online document sharing and editing (think Google docs).
  18. The first real desktop environment that was available to "the masses" would probably have been GEM in 1985. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEM_(desktop_environment) So about 17 years. EDIT A more comprehensive history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_graphical_user_interface#

  20. Our two doggos came from family. We love them to bits and they protect** us from all bad people! "Our" cat decided we were a softer touch than her previous "owners" (next door for flips sake!). ** Nobody, but nobody, should attempt to get past a chihuahua!!
  21. The agents often offer the option to use their cards to pay (you pay them first of course). They will also handle all the usual messing about to get your new PP sorted.
