    Not in Pattaya yet until November. I have got a house plan when I did the second storey extensions, but, like the rest of my 'after retirement filing system' I can't find it. If I can find it I can start working on the measurments. Thanks everyone for the great knowledge. 🙂

    Gated gate.

    Thank you. Yes was thinking of that. Can you get them to come out for a look and revommendation first? Do you get the design tool download from their site?

    Looking for recommendations for mob to install new kitchen cupboards. I know usually expensive, but can you work out the approx. cost by m2 of installation? Initial thinking of L shape against the kitchen walls. We have a 30 year old renovated kitchen, but time to make new to rent/sell the property. In the Pattaya area just near the Caddie Shack.

    Yes difficult to stop, but those while plugs are hopeless (I think) as well, have a little neon or led in them with a thin wire between L & N and the critters like to build there.

    Seems the white thing I saw in a power outlet was not eggs but a busted off prong from an extension cable plug.

    When the Sparky wired my house I counted the red wires and black wires (old power cable colour code). All added up but 2 less blacks as had 2 three phase heaters.

    B4I(square root sign)U RU/18?

    I've got the leakage current down to 0, at the moment, need to buy a couple of plugs and a socket tomorrow. Wish my beautiful wife would tell me when sockets are broken. 🙂

    Too much for my 80 year old brain.

    J/8 still don't get it. 😞

    Thanks 🙂

    One more go and I found the cct. 🙂

    As god would have it, I've filed the circuit....somewhere and not sure where the middle is. I have 3 rooms in the garage so should have installed 3 breakers in the CU which would have made tracing a fault easier. This was the first time I've power wired up the whole building (as you can probably tell). 🙂 I see some egg shells in one of wifeys outside water fountain, so may do that first. Good suggestion thanks. 😉

    Removed the power connections from the plug to the pool pump, chlorinator and pool lights. Fault still there, so it's in the power plug feed. I've lots of plugs everywhere, so will start from the plug nearest the CU disconnect the wiring and see when the fault disappears.

    While looking for my garage wiring circuit I found this about about a home built RCD test device. The web site is This is Prathumthani, I think. The information may be in the pinned threads at the start of the Electrical Forum as is from Crossy I think.

    White ants, flying ants, all termites me thinks. The expression 'that person is being white-anted by Bob' should be "that person is being termited by Bob". Yes but you are correct.
  21. carlyai
    You need to start a new thread as you suggested so people will see your problem. My threads go too long and your post will get missed. 🙂

    I found it, unfortunately the neutral goes to the pool pump and chlorinator. 😞 Enough for today, beer time 🙂 More tomorrow.
  23. carlyai
    Ants to me are a general classifier for termites as well. Yes I am sure there are many Thai electricians with Meggers. An 'off the cuff remark'.:)
  24. carlyai
    From the garage the power goes out to the big ON/OFF switch, then branched to lights behind the garage and to a CU on a pole then to another CU in the greenhouse. Looks a bit of a mess but those ant tracks maybe a clue. Tomorrow I think I'll start just disconnecting the wires to the ON/OFF switch first. Thanks again. 🙂
  25. carlyai
    Great thanks. I think I know where it could be coming from, my greenhouse. It's still a bit boggie there with 1 extension lead. That Megger you suggested is only B1000 something, so will buy that if no luck today. Probably the only person in Isaan with a megger. 🙂
