Grouting a Joint Between 90 d Surfaces
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?

Jet Pump Sand Blocking Water Head Flap
I try to have it 1m from the bottom, but the well water height and recharge rate varies between seasons.

Jet Pump Sand Blocking Water Head Flap
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.

New Years Eve
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.

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

Private House Sale Proceedure
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.

Private House Sale Proceedure
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.

Reasons Chinese Buying Realestate?

Reasons Chinese Buying Realestate?
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.

Buying a house w 12mo lease on it?
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.

Buying a house w 12mo lease on it?
Look at the rent contract. Should be a clause saying you need to give them 1 month notice.

Fresh dead rat meat in the market !
Years ago (maybe still?) outside Lupini park in Banggers, had a guy selling snakes blood. Just a quick shot and off to work you go. Met a guy on a course who kept snakes for food. Said the snake penis was great as well as the snake venom. Gave a real high he said, but one had to increase the dose slowly. He looked a bit like a snake too. Darker oily skin. Yuck!

Streaming Phone to TV
So for the mirror function, you don't need internet on the same network as your phone. You don't need internet connected to your tv. Is this correct?
-
Streaming Phone to TV
Not a smart tv.

Streaming Phone to TV
My phone has True internet. My TV does not have internet connected or bluetooth built-in. I want to stream from my phone to the TV. I heard you can stream using a Bluetooth dongal in the TV (equipt for sound and vision). If this is correct, what's the dongal called and per chance do you know where I could buy it in Pattaya? Any other methods while no internet to TV?

They get in my pool every now and then, then they go away. Stupid little things. When you're sitting in the pool and they give you a nip.
