Concrete flat roof insulation from inside - ideas?
AlexRRR replied to 3MagicBeers's topic in DIY Forum
Normally here they do a drop ceiling which is made of metal which can be any depth depending on the concrete roof height and plaster ceiling height you want. As for downlighting under the insulation good luck with that, you can grin and bear it or do what im doing, ive phoned Phillips in BKK and they where useless, the English speaking service didnt know anything, asked for my phone number and said tech support would call which they never did a week later they emailed me a survey to fill out and I reminded them of there crap service which once again has not led to anything. There are rated downright for sitting under insulation, no one in this country (Thailand) has a clue, even went to a shop that 90% of there business is providing lighting to the trades, boss man when asked, ho ive heard about them, then a blank...Home Pro and every other place I went did not have a clue, so you could take a risk as the battens will hold the insulation up at least 2cm so you would need those slim types and must be fully sealed with the what ever its called attached and not inside (the wiring gizmo) or as one person here suggested pot plant holders over the lights this would give plenty or air around the light, thats fine if you are just doing a few lights but im doing an entire house, near me and im in Pattaya is a lighting shop who have the Led slim line dome lights that fit simlar to downlights they have spring loaded clips that fit into a downlight hole about 2cm think and curved edges, unlike the ones ive seen at the HP etc they are much better looking similar size too a downlighting and thats what im going to go with. -

What are you talking about? who mentioned a work permit? and as if some upcountry ticket office seller would know what it meant, yes buddy have flashed the pink id card and before the prestige of owning one the drivers licence has been produced as well, you have farang eyes you pay farang price, you got to get off the grog before posting. You cant have been here too long to not know every little office in the country makes up its own rules as it goes along not to mention the Wim of who ever your talking as mood can change moment to moment. -

Gees Fj where did you find Tarryn Thomas? just read he's been arrested and charged on summons alleged caught in possession of drugs over the weekend.... But wait theres more, parked in a "no standing zone" in his " Lamborghini", attracted the eyes of a roving police car...Police found drugs and deal bags....so im guessing he's moved on to pushing the stuff....honestly what a screw ball....you know Tony Mokbel had a Lambo too, use to see it and a few of his mates parked in Lygon street back in the day...but gees they parked them legally, actually one time I was having dinner on the side walk and im guessing it was his Ferrari it was parked right next to me, if I had of known who Mokbel was in those days I would have moved a few tables down to make sure I didnt scratch it.... So how do you know someone's got no brains? (or in layman's terms s.h.i.t. for brains) beats up a woman then goes to court then does it again all while being counciled by your footy club thats paying you a fortune and trying to keep you clean, then....then becomes Steppenwolfs The Pusher man (great song I have to say) so lets not worry to much (untouchable) as he's still got his head in the clouds as an AFL well ex AFL star and park my RED Lambo, its just a Lambo, see them every few min wizzing down the streets and I bet it was in a main street too, parks it in a no standing zone , it just screams Look at me look at me look at me....... dick head, what a dick head...pretty sure officer Chooks if still on the beat would have had a closer inspection too....I bet you use to love those guys officer, saved you hours of investigation times, they just stick up a poster that say "over here coppers".......wonder what the real deal was several weeks back when held at gunpoint maybe he was reneging on dealing his North footy jumper that may have been included in the car deal... Earlier this year, the AFL said Thomas was eligible for a state-league return after showing a “consistent change in his behaviour” and completing an education and behavioural change program. That makes me laugh....imagine the culture at North if he was still there... Pentridge Jail is now a housing development, it was a cold testament to 1800s Melbourne, Tarrant will be spending time at Ravenhall...think its called, tin sheds, soul less as well.... And Tarrent makes Ricky Nixon look normal... -

Voting G Voting greens ummm when have they ever had a complete set of plans for the country from local to foreign affairs? Often over payed managers and do goodies who never had to worry about where the next dollar comes from, but having said that them other two lost the plot years ago, im known as a swinging voter, early on Labour early John Howard Liberal, once they knifed Malcom nobody, I have a social justice streak which makes me wither in pain at times, my dad told me a long time ago that a strong opposition was good for the country but the country runs better under The libs, and I have to say thats how its panned from where ive been sitting, but lets face it the entire world is has lost the plot, all sorts of crack pots in power all over the globe, and they have this idea of lowering taxes will ignite the world economy when in fact it should be going the other way like knuckling down on corporations and the wealthy... -
Tourism Thailand Vows to End Dual Pricing Amid Growing Tourist Backlash
AlexRRR replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I didnt mind when it was reasonable but since corvid they in most cases have doubled the cost for tourists to enter, lately when ever ive wanted to enter ive been quoted 400 to my partners 50, just very recently one place it was free for her and her 3 Thai nieces but 400 for me, so I went for a short drive and had a long coffee instead, the TGF was pretty pissed off when she came out, 140 per drink for each of them....well....they got them another way, and I missed out on the opportunity to pay for all of there drinks and snacks....and no never been able to get the Thai price ever when offering my Thai driving licence or pink ID card. And its all lip service if anyone thinks its going to change, also doubling the Farang cost of entering while the Thai price remained the same is another point of discrimination for me, anyway I dont care, if I really want to go in id pay it but...ive payed the 200 Thai free to have lunch at some <deleted>ttttyyyyyy floating market, nothing to see or do, ive walked up a <deleted>ttyyyyy walking track full of stones nearly breaking my neck in the process and payed for the privilege of no safety in the stinking humidity etc etc so I dont need to do it anymore... -

Cats n Pies game had everything the Eagles and Dee's didnt have, you could x with North and Ess and still be a train wreck...well.....you got to be hard on your team, and I am, every now and then they got the 8 cylinders pumping but gees we got some loafers pulling in there 750 gees a year with ease... and million dollar plus a year man playing like he was lost in the fog, them guys on penny's showed the way, nothing to come off that game for cousin Will and me, not a thing, other than Optus oval looked just great, decent crowed too, well its our home away from home too...the game there in the last was like "will we or wont we run away with it senerio and you know the Dee's are good value for keeping it close and all of that and of course they deliver it, meanwhile leaving the 85inch telly on the dull game and turn on the pc and start viewing the Pies Cats game, awwww kick after the siren goes through for a behind....honestly I thought they should have bagged it at 40, 45m...would have meant the game was stolen, Cats where just terrific, I kinda like seeing MCrae in those situations, but you got to give it to the man he can make them pensioner's play well... Heart on his sleeve Voss....will he or wont he go...he lights up like a light when they win and looks like Dutton last night when told he lost his seat...the man who thought he would be PM one day.....no Voss wont even make it to the end of the year, Freo wont hold on to theres either, Simon, well cousin Will says he's gone and yeah next few weeks will certainly tell us and at this stage of the season I have to agree as some of those bludgers certainly look disinterested and will put Goodwin through misery, but hey the libs need a new leader recon Simons honed his speaking skills the last 3 seasons, so why not? No no im not anti Simon, not one bit, I got it in for a few freeloaders in that team...they know who they are, they know stats look good but we know theres little penetration with most of there stats....Scott at Essendon is safe for at least one more year, but I really dont rate him any higher than a cook wheeling his own cart around Chaing Mai selling tourists Pad Thai....Bevo....the hottest commodity on the market, well if he wants to be a career coach he should quit the Dogs end of season and im happy for a wayward son and former player to return....no deal as of yet but we know AFL coaches tend to not be to bright and will stay if offered... Crows like Freo need a refresh coaching wise...only playing finals will save Nobbs...yeah yeah they won yesterday but they only beat the Blues... -

BORED I was, telly on, Ess n North, Kane throws rocks again at Clarkson this morning, lucky my full attention didnt get to the game till the start of the second half...it was fairly close is all I can say, North "put in second half of the third" and thats about it, it would have been one of the worst games ive witnessed in the last 40 years, took me back to the Demons of the 70s, who was trying to loose? skills? VFA standard, miss kicks no-one knew where there men where standing, handballs going to the goal umpires, what a sorry state those two clubs are in, Look Fj, when Roos took over at the Demons the very first thing he did was shore up the back half, we no longer got rolled over, honestly last night any other team would have beaten North or Ess by 12, and the question is...how did the AFL allow this game to be in prime time. So my question is, does Alister get booted or does he have the very full support of the board? I recon he is coaching like his last years at the Hawks, recon he is past it...at least on the ground stradgey wise... Eagles powered over the hapless Dees in this game last year, Players revolt in the west was reported in the press during this week, what a time for us to be facing an away game half way to China, will Simon still have a job by Tuesday next week? Like we didnt convince anyone over the Richmond game, we can bring Hairy Reid back to the big Vic as we jet out after the game, pretty sure he would be delighted to leave a sun-drenched island with two crumbling AFL clubs behind.... -

Came across a YouTube vid obviously taken by a Hotspurs fan recently of players arriving in there wheels for morning training, the brand of choice by a mile was Mercedes mainly SUV's of various specks, the odd one out was Richarlison who was driving a tricked up specced up Chevy Camero well being Brazilian no doubt and just a stones throw from the US border them Latinos like everything American...turns out to be the nicest player as well, stoped and said hello with a smile, captain Son Heung Min turned up in a Korean box car type van, well we think it was a prank...couldnt see with blacked out windows... And one cheap BMW series 1 hatchback....in white, while 98% of the Spurs players cars were black...who after last nights 5-1 drubbing will most likely be putting them up for sale on FB Market place as there all getting sacked this morning including Ange... -

I like M&Ms too.....Has Lobby (Mat) Lloyd taken the place of Kane Cornes in being the conscience off The Free World Sports Press? Im only reading headlines men, You all remember Lobby Loyd yeah? A perceived rivalry between they the Coloured Balls (stupid name for a skinhead band) and Billy Thorpe and the Aztec's, if you like every song to be a minumn of 10 min long you like Billy...and I did...yes just reading headlines, im still disgusted how they chased us down and tore into us..anddddddd nothing much out of this weekend so lets make it up and or stretch it like a pizza base..... Lyon spray after coach berating a player...Prickly coach fires back at journo.... Hold or resign, oldest footy team on the planet, pensioner army, 7 or 8 rounds in it should be will they still be standing round 23... Tarryn Thomas held at gunpoint apparently during a car deal gone wrong, just reading headlines.....BUT, looking into that crystal ball.....going west at the mid season draft... Brereton slams young Swan for staging, OMG who reads this s.h.i.t? "Grow up" Lloyd rips petulant star over Hinkley snub, something to do with pretty boy Francis and North..honestly he prances like one of those Spanish horses.. Scott left in the dark by frustrating MCG black out...thats right they were so creative to come up with that... Part of the headline Crows worries grow....thats because Demons win 2 in a row and Tigers and Eagles where expected to loose so turn the flame thrower on to someone else... On a serious note Peter Bosustow passed away this Weeknd following a battle with colon cancer, who could forget him in those great Blues teams...the Jake Stringer without the baggage and 3 times better in bursting out and slotting it through the big sticks.. -
im assuming you mean getting a pebble look floor, theres several ways around it, lay a concrete floor let it set then a screed with the coloured pebbles or stones you want in them, they level and towel it, for pebbles they let it set for a short time after laying then wash out the concrete top mix, if its stones they can do the same if internal finish they will use a big industrial grinder over the top, hence concrete polished floor then its sealed. Like theres variations but that a roundabout way of doing it.

The wolves have backed off a little bit.....watching from a distance, quietened down, licking lips, ahhh but did anyone watch the players at the end of the game coming off the ground? In particular Max Gawn when approached by Simon, if a picture could speak a thousand words...Max does what I do when I dont want to know someone.....looked right through him as if he was a sheet of glass, and expressionless... Have to say Max was outstanding in the last part of the last quarter, he had been up and down most of the game but it was obvious most of the team wanted to win so he pulled up his socks... -

Your method wont work unless you have clips holding the half pipe as in time the plastic pipe will become brittle and once a decent downpour gets on it good bye gutter, secondly at a 3in diameter its way to small to hold a Thai downpour so your back to square one with water over paving, as an example today I looked at some plastic guttering at SCG just today and its measurement was 20cm wide at the top around 17cm bottom and around 18 to 20 high....

And the circus has just begun, the talk of Simons exist is picking up steam, and what a better time to be heading in that direction, now im sick on the players for not being professional and this is why NFL and Premier League players can play at a high level during there careers, most of them either leave or get moved on so they cant rest on there laurels and play out long contracts, ahhh but Garth Bale you mention, over 300,000 quid a week and sat on the bench the last 2.5 years of his contract, well Zindine the coach didnt like him for some reason, and if your winning the league and Champion's League then the coach gets a say who plays... Getting late last night and somewhat bored mulling over the succession plan and having notice a slight uptick in "time to move on" clicked on channel 7 news, eventually we move to the sports page and...wow.....theres a report that Beveridge is on the Demon radar, well while mulling it over in recent times I have to say he was my pick of experienced coaches, has no deal in place at the Dogs yet, an ex Demon player, a mr fix it, would take no nonsense, yep id be happy, I could do Hinkley but thats it, Simmo has been mentioned...no way Jose...Buckley, well I wouldn't get excited and I do like the guy and we could do a lot worse as in simmo, sorry will, I just dont rate the guy..but he talks nice.. Longmire? do you really believe he would want to coach a basket case? Anyway the circus is just beginning.....your grand mum might be touted as the next Demon coach... -

Thanks Buddy, we both know how it feels, but I recon you got Voss for a few more years, meanwhile I heard Brad Green has reached out to Wayne Rooney now unemployed after taking Plymouth to the bottom of the Championship, will coach for nothing and has been known to go out and buy equipment for the club (in his Derby days) so yeah win win, we can only go lower than the Eagles from here .......
