Drain pipes for kitchen? Blue pipes? Clean water only?
patman30 replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in DIY Forum
what testing have you seen? as nearly all links online state EM interference if run in the same conduit with recommended minimum distance of 20cm between power and LAN cables i was not running short distances, but about 100m total underground and also under a french drain not something i wanted to take a chance on, switching to fibre made pulling the cables easier too. in the past i have run multiple CAT5e LAN cables together and had cables fail after a few years testing may now show any problems, but how long is testing done for? -

on watsadu they advertise yellow and white for electric and blue, white and grey for water with white stated as for waste and grey for agriculture i assume the white pipes are mostly for indoor where they would be seen the differences yellow is expensive white for electrical is expensive and in metric size so cannot mix and match with other pipes/fittings and pipes come in 2m not 4m grey is cheapest but thin and lacks usual fittings blue is cheap lots of fittings available white for water costs a little more than blue but can be mixed and matched but have fewer fittings i recently had to run power, fibre and water run the water in blue, up till where the pipes will be exposed, which i then switch to white pipes so only white iis seen the power and fibre i run in white (water) pipes as they are much cheaper, and then used a few yellow fittings mainly as i could only get the needed fitting in yellow, but it also indicates its power cables in the pipe i do also have power cables running 40m underground through a 2" blue pipe, but then pipes switched to yellow or white once above ground not sure if the sparks would freak out, but i run the power alongside water with a french drain laid on top FYI you should not run LAN cables alongside power cables, i was lucky to find this out before running everything, fibre does not have this issue -
this is your problem, skilled/qualified plumbers don't really exist here like in other countries i had same issue in my last house and no way was i going to dig up all my marble floor on a guess in the end i just ran a new pipe around the house in the roof overhang and brought it in where i could as i had spare floor tiles for the bathroom it fed

IGNORE all the ????s saying it's not enough, you are poor(er than them) my wife and i never spend 40k in a month on living expenses last year i sold all my condos, sold my nice big pool villa i purchased 7 Rai of land for 3m baht (you wont need 7 rai, 1 rai should be plenty as you are too old to care for it) i built a house for 1m baht (i dont advise this though lol) i spent 1m baht on getting a well with tower, landscaping and solar (only solar need be) we have no bills, and we grow food and have chooks and only expect to have more and more food and animals as time goes by 9m Baht is a great start, buy a house with a decent size garden, get solar installed even if only for daytime give the 40k/month to the wife and she will make sure all is taken care of and start looking after your health -
depends how much you use your PC how patient or impatient you are and how much power it draws and whether you care personally i never turn my PC off, it never goes to sleep purely because i am impatient my display turns off after 5 minutes though

coca-cola have also been "reducing sugar" in drinks but then replacing it with nasty sweetners like aspartame so you still get most of the sugar but some aspartame thrown in aswell coca-cola is poison, pepsi also -

it is extremely easy to make your own condensed milk (the clue is in the name) i too have searched for unsweetened, carnation stopped selling it years ago Falcon used to do an unsweetened milk, but now its unsweetened filled milk which contains palm oil all you need to do to make condensed milk is condense it put 2 litres of milk in pan on low heat and let it reduce till 1 litre of condensed milk remains, simples???? -

Guy talks about fructose "table sugar" is SUCROSE (which is 50% fructose, 50% glucose) just to add the guy is also a foodie with a cooking channel (see comment above about crowd/boss/chef) i would advise everyone to watch "that sugar film" at least once there is a great section explaing what happens in the body when consuming sucrose Dr. Eric Berg on YT also got lots and lots of great info -

Why i eat at home and cook everything from scratch unless you want to be diabetic it might be time to devise a new eating strategy it is not just Thailand, and even in expensive places, chefs do not give a flying duck about your health they cook for the crowd and the crowd has a sweet tooth, the boss has a sweet tooth and the chef has a sweet tooth if i eat out now it's carnviore, just give me the steak, don't put anything on it -

i got one of those cheap ones it still works after years but you cannot use it for long periods, or at least i dont starts to get a bit hot and stinky problem is the coffee is not ground fine unless you wait for it to cool down and do again or take a chance on burning it out its is not suitable for grinding more than 1-2 cups worth every 20 mins or so imo if you want for nomal use, i would suggest getting something of better quality designed to run for longer maybe something like this would be better https://www.lazada.co.th/products/manowshopz-stainless-steel-multi-purpose-grinder-800-i2596755399.html?spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.157.2876dcbchZFdZY

Electric car fire: Week-old million baht vehicle ignites in Udon Thani mall
patman30 replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
Felicity now have an office in BKK, batts come with 6000 cycle warranty (not that i care about that TBH) if you increase your storage enough you can easily keep batts in mid range so you do have the option to go off grid and could possibly do it (but nobody would notice if you did) But you choose to stay connected to the grid that uses fossil fuels, while preaching fossil fuel bad?
