If anyone has a breaker or good hammer drill they could rent me for a day I will pay happy to pay a few hundred baht. I am here for one job only and am loathe to buy power tools i have no store for.

Clean with bleach, the specialised grout cleaners are basically bleach anyway.

Yes the superstores are good when they're good ie sales/specials, but normally their prices are suprisingly not good.

May 20th, Vientiane, no problem, moderately busy.

super thanks- I will have to make pigeon noises at the local store

There is a small balcony outside my condo that has become absolutely disgusting, inches of shit and bird corpses, nests, even two eggs. It has to go, I have looked at the neighbours solutions and the prison style wire looks to drastic, i have seen a light netting, i wonder how it is secured in place. where can i buy such a net, it would have to sizable as my balcony aperture is 3.5m x 2.5m?

Excellent, thankyou.

Can i put out large amounts of heavy rubble and garbage at my condo? Is there a dump or a metal recycling place? Can I sell an old A/C unit anywhere?

Yes, generally I like second hand gear but in this case (A/C) I don't think it's a good idea.

hm.. plently of good deals at 12K level but at 18K not nearly so much choice.. which is one reason why I prefer to purchase at 12k btu Samsung or LG inverter etc.

Thanks

Thanks for the information, I suspected that a 12K unit would do, but the sales people shake their heads solemnly if you ask them. It is a small condo unit so no real excess of heat though because i have renters in mind I may have to opt for an 18K unit for their comfort.

I made a mistake the cheapest 18K I have found is York at 21K

thinking of buying a second hand A/C unit, though maybe this isn't a good idea! Is there any good shop in CM for reconditioned units?

I have a 26sq metre condo unit, 8th floor, receives no direct sunshine. What BTU would you recommended? Some websites qoute as low as 14,000 but all the shops say 24,000 or maybe 18,000.

The cheapest option I have found was 18K at 16,900baht, or second hand units. Are second hand units to be avoided?

Thanks

I know most websites already, and really they're often not so useful, but I will try the university thanks.

is there a site or place i can find a language exchange partner? I am in CM.

Lloyds, UK to thailand bank 17.50, Sterling changed at Thai end, 48 hours

Yes you are right. Thankkyou. I found two yesterday and the prices were 100% different. I am suprised prices are approximately the same as the west

My apologies. Can you please give me a specific example. I have, as yet, not found one?

I want interior tiles not flags - specifically real marble, limestone or travertine. There is one small yard near Maejo with sheets of natural stone but a store in CM with precut tiles would be better.

(Homepro none)

Thanks

Best place for natural stone tiles? I wil try home pro etc but suspect they won't have a good selection or price.

Wat Nakoon Noi, North of Vientiane is supposed to offer retreat. You know of it?

Anyone got some basic building tools they feel like lending me? Hammer and bolster, drill driver, cordless srewdriver etc...

Hm in two minds- I will talk to the expats who live in the condo already and get their opinion.

I need an inexpensive lawyer or paralegal to look over the contract for a condo purchase. I expect no problems and expect very little for the lawyer to do.

Recommend?
