As I think the OP said, the metal will have a foam insulation coating which will as you say, help to deaden the sound by stiffening the metal.

Or Accrington Stanley for that matter.

And when it rains. ☹️

Like the man said. Rubbish. Power factor correction changes with each different load. There is no such thing as one size fits all. Another video.

There are over 40,000 temples in Thailand. Most are active while others are in ruins – as is the case of the many structures still standing in the historical parks of Ayutthaya and Sukhothai. https://www.planetware.com/thailand/top-rated-temples-in-thailand-tha-1-56.htm#:~:text=There are over 40%2C000 temples,parks of Ayutthaya and Sukhothai. For a population whose beliefs begin when they walk in and end when they walk out the temple who cares if one falls down.

I really, really wish the lottery was changed to the UK/EU system whereby each player chooses their own numbers. At the moment the Thai system of selecting a ticket restricts the player to a very limited choice of tickets available from the seller. If the winning number is a ticket sold in Udon for example, nobody else in the country can win.

No chance. The price would be increased to make up for the loss.

I have never seen a disabled lottery ticket seller.

Not sure about all day. Tank would be under south roof overhang so maybe a bit of sun in the winter and first thing in the morning. Underground is a good idea but I would go for 2000 L. If above ground, I would erect a screen if sun was a problem. I have several stainless steel tanks for rain water around my house in the sun most of the day, and the water never gets warm. I guess the tanks give off the heat easily and it takes a long time to warm up 1000 L.

Nice, but I would add a bit more concrete and move the water tank two metres away from the pump to the corner of the building where it doesn't block the view.

The shading of your solar panels with the air gap twixt roof and panels will do that also.

Those portable ac thingies are fundamentally flawed. 1. Hot air goes out the pipe........That's ok. 2. Cold air comes out the vents into the room........That's ok. 3. Room air recirculates into the unit and comes out the vents into the room as in 2 above ...........That's ok 4. Where does the hot air in 1. above come from? err. It comes from within the room as in 2 above.........That's definitely not ok. To summarise: The air which is being cooled is also the the exhausted air. Waste of money. Been there, done that.

I found an early picture which I had filed in completely the wrong place.

The house is a framework of Reinforced Concrete beams. These not only hold up the lower floors but also keep the pillars from getting intimate. The whole structure is based on a cube design.

Ha! Some people are just plain lucky..........

My house has a regular four sided pitched roof rather like a pyramid. There is plenty of headroom for me being vertically indisposed as you might say. There are plenty of horizontal RC beams to walk along which allows easy access to the ceiling below without stepping on the panelling. I'm sure the ceiling would fall apart if I were to stand on it.

Sounds like a mirror of my village

My ceiling? No concerns at all. The suspension bits are plenty strong enough and the panels are good for that sort of weight also.

Plan for about 40kg/ m². The're <deleted> heavy

My concerns are about the crops rather than the legality of crossing you neighbours land. If there is a change to sugar cane then the harvester machine which is a monster, will need some headroom. Cables need to have ground clearance of 5m. It is the drivers responsibility to take care but accidents can happen.

Flat roof may well start leaking after a short time. I would put a 17º north/south slope on it, strengthen it and use it for solar panels.

Don't be misled by the enthusiasm of a Youtube presenter. It's good to highlight seemingly new technology but Perovskite has been around for quite some time. It is a promising addition to silicon solar cells and is destined to become quite useful but it does have it's own problems and it's not there yet. You might read this to gain a better understanding of the nature of the stuff. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2022/01/220120140729.htm If you do a search on this web site you will find plenty more information.

50 metres is way too much. 25 is a better maximum spacing. Off road mine are about 20. I take it those paddy fields are not yours? What will you do if the owners change to sugar cane and remove the bunds?

Yes, absolutely right. Down past the infill plus one metre or more. The subsoil needs to support lots of tonnes. Built on old paddy land, my pillar slabs are 2.5m down and square 2m per side. The filled level was 1m but that settled to ¾m after one year.

I am living in my own design house here in Isaan for the past eight years. The house was started about ten years ago and is ten by eight metres. Construction is traditional pillars with double walls between. The double walls are clay bricks with holes and a 50mm cavity filled with polystyrene. My builder thought it odd to have cavity walls saying "Thailand doesn't get cold like Europe". I had my doubts about him from then on... Air con is rarely used and it's always cooler inside than out during the day. Down side is that the house acts like a storage heater which releases it's heat slowly during the night. Some times of the year that's not such a bad thing.
