  1. Try the shop in the lane next to Foodlands.
  2. While waiting for replies I posed the question on You Tube and a tiler used Profiling Kit 5, which seems what I need. Found similar on Lazada. All good.
  3. I need to grout a joint between a tiled area and a garage wall, as per the pictures. Sprinkler water is leaking through the joint into the garage. I have some Crocodile brand flexible waterproof grout. I was wondering if there is a 90 degree tile grouting tool for applying the grout. How would you do it?
  4. An Alan Jones look-a-like.
  5. Reminds me of The Goon Show.
  6. I try to have it 1m from the bottom, but the well water height and recharge rate varies between seasons.
  7. One of our bores is a Hitachi jet pump. Every now and then, sand or small pebbles lodge in the water intake and stop the flap on the bottom of the pipe from closing, therefore all the pump water drains out and the pump won't pump as it has no head of water. When this happens we have to lift up the 15m of pipe, clean out the debris so the flap will seal, then start again. This is a pain. I need to come up with a better solution. The jet head is down the well at the bottom of the inlet pipe. Would moving the jet head to the top of the pipe near the pump motor make any difference? Wrapping the ventuti and pipe inlet in some thin plastic gause? Maybe replacing the jet pump with a conventional pump as the depth of pipe is only about 15m. The pump is for back-up and irrigation, but Sod's Law states that everytime we go away something will happen to our other 60m main bore setup.

    When I went it was a crush of people stamping thru the narrow end of Walking Street to the pier. Dangerous if someone yelled BOMB. There was nothing you could do but be funelled with the mob. Dangerous. Wouldn't do it again. Live dangerously in Thailand, but not die in a Walking Street stampeed.

    When I lived there they were around the pier. Were heaps of people pushing down Walking Street to the pier area. Good night.

    If you try very hard, you might get layed. 🙂
  11. In a Thai name...thanks. We should also go to the utilities places and cancel water and electricity? Or do you take the new owners with us to transfer utilities to them.
  12. So you are in the process of selling a house in Pattaya. Everyone agreed on a price, intention of purchase within 1 month drawn up and deposit given. On the day of the sale completion we go to the land office, the buyer gives us a cashiers cheque, we then sign the house land paper and register with the new owner. This is how I think it goes, is this correct please? Is receiving a cashier's cheque the same as receiving the money, or can they somehow cancel the cheque after the land office papers are signed? Any things I have to watch out for? Thanks.
  13. So they buy in a Thai company name?
  14. Lots of Chinese around in Pattaya, young couples. Put up a sign to sell/rent our Pattaya City house and it was bought within a week. Lots of young Chinese couples. Why are they buying up Pattaya? My wife thinks they can now get a 99 year agreement to own the house and land.
  15. We rent our Pattaya house for 12 months contract, but have a clause that says we or they can give 1 month notice to leave. We're in Pattaya now cause our renter just left suddenly. Said they went back to England, but really they had a gambling den here and the police raided. Stupid people, left his name and some of the gambling stuff and accounting books behind.
