You shouldnt make definitive statements like that, a lot depends on the office and type of extension. A friend of mine has been doing a 60 day on a non O for several years, he did it last week again with original KR2. I did a 12 month a couple of weeks ago and got the KR2 about a week beforehand, not a problem.

and then losing what's left in the divorce.

You are having a laugh. A couple of years ago we got 5000 baht from the Min of Ag for the number of fruit trees we have. Hell would freeze over before my wife and family would entertain cutting a healthy tree. We do lose quite a few naturally and as it happens the one next to the cages in question is now dead as a dodo, been killed off in the last year or so by a parasitic growth. The far bigger problem than rusting sheets is how to get it down, trunk about 4 ft dia and stands over 30 ft.

In the 60s/70s I was in the RAF and all the guys that had been to Cyprus used to rave about going for a kebab. In 1974 I went on a detachment from Germany to Cyprus and first night there headed off to the local kebab shop. They put a pile of unleven bread and various vegetables in the middle of the table and for the next few hours brought various grilled meats on a regular basis, all accompanied by copious amounts of the local beverages. The following morning I regretted getting my head around that kind of kebab. The day after we left Cyprus they decided to have a coup.

No, we don't raise them. My wife and her sister have a voluntary refuge for unwanted cats and when they come to us they are all vacinated and neutered. Think they have about 60 in residence at the moment. The photo was a new block 8 cages and there is an older block of 6 and 3 newer stand alones. The older block is roofed with old corrugated sheets that are probably about 40 years old. Fairly well rusted but the coating is still quite bright in parts.

Indeed, all sorts of crap as well as the leaves,geckos, squirrels, birds etc. Also that sticky mess that comes out of mango trees. Wouldn't surprise me if there was some chemical reaction involved. When it happens we just stick silicone sealant over it.

From what i heard proper treatment is a bit slow and tedious but something simple like a coat of woodstain wouldn't go amiss. Would be worth while trying to seal the ends somehow. Seen my sister in law stick the end in a tin can but all depends on the dia.

Different cage that I built just a few years ago. The rust is just random patches a couple of inches in dia and not anywhere near fixings. No idea on the coating thickness, had to buy what Global had available at the time. Suspect they were just badly coated, unless something coming off the trees affected the coating. Unfortunately distance is a factor when driving with roofings sheets in the pickup so Global being just down the road is usual choice.

The boric acid is part of a treatment plan and to protect against termites. That can be necessary even if bamboo is not exposed to weather.

Your palm was probably killed by insect larvae, they are about 2" long and half inch thick, we lose several every year that way. There is little point in trying to support it as in due course the whole trunk will disintegrate. Best bet would be to try and cut it off above the shower and see how long it lasts. If it has grown quite tall the weight will bring it down and could be difficult to prop. Good luck.

I have used a fair bit of 25mm x 1mm sq hollow section in the garden to prop up shrubs, some of it has been out there for over 10 years now and weathered well enough for me, still looks like just out of the warehouse. Unfortunately I can't say the same for the galv roofing sheets, after about 3 years rust holes started to appear. The coloured coated ones we got about 8 years ago have lasted an awful lot better. With those I think the paint may have gone on a zinc coating but when we wanted more Global said they were no longer available. Built these cat cages back in 2016.

There is a bit of a bonus. We went twice while my niece was at uni in China.The first time I did the visas for both of us and other than payment no difference between doing one or two. When they moved to the visa centre a bit different and we both had to attend. I did the HSR from Luang Prabang to Vientiane last Jan, superb.

It is, but it only indicates devices that are signed into your google account. You can delete any device listed and that device would need to sign in again. Better supervision should be done at network level and there is an app for android phones, not sure about other devices. It is called Net Analyser and will list all devices connected to the network and give the IP address and also some query options. If you identify any unwanted devices you should be able to log in to the router and block the IP address.

We have 3 bamboo plants in the garden, all different wall thickness so a variation on how long they last. I only ever use it for something temporary, within a year to 18 months there will termites or carpenter bees inside. For anything more permanent I use steel hollow section, now with self drilling screws it can be easier to work than bamboo and comes already treated. For some things bamboo would certainly give a better looking job but would need some form of protection. Lost count the number of times I have been stung picking up a length of bamboo.

It's horses for courses. The thicker coating makes the steel more difficult to spot weld so there has to be a trade off and much of that type of fabrication is painted post op. We made industrial ovens and the casings were powder coated. For anyone looking to use the steel for outside construction hot dipped would be the better choice if available, and why it helps to know the difference.

People really love Google, don't they. When talking to a steel merchant you have to use a language THEY understand, Zintec(electrolytic) or Galvnised(hot dipped). The MD goes quackers if you get it wrong.

Quite. I worked in sheet metal fabrication for over 20 years and we used Zintec where ever possible. Unfortunately hollow section wasn't availabel zinc coated in those days. I built my house here in 2009 and have done a quite a bit of work using using zinc coated hollow section, seen most of these display boards around the local merchants and the finish looks very much like I used to buy, but couldn't really be sure. Also used zinc coated roofing sheets and I would have said they were galvanised, the thicker coating gives a bit of a different colour.

I don't think that is galvanised steel, looks more like zinc plated(Zintec). Steel can be zinc coated in two ways, galvanising where the metal is hot dipped in molten zinc, or plated(Zintec) where the zinc is applied electrolytically. With hot dipping there is no control over the thickness of the coating whereas electrolysis gives a thin uniform coating. https://keydifference.in/zintec-and-galvanised/

Why would I need to post a picture, it is in the link provided by the OP.

You shouldn't make such bold statements. It could be done using 3x4v cells and a switched charging circuit, but unlikely to be commercially viable.

Is that the charger for the item in question.

You are fixated on output ports, try looking at the input port.

Invalid comment, no reference or context.

The input port is shown as being 5v but you are assuming that drawing is correct. The only way you would really know the input voltage would be to check the charger(s) that come with device. You are right in what you say, phone chargers would be unsuitable for this type of device in the same way they are unsuitable for a laptop.

One of the photos shows a standard input port alongside the USB ports.
