  1. After they sort Putin they can then deal with the clowns in Myanmar and Thailand…
  2. Hardened professionals mate !! ???? They even told me not to sign anything ????????
  3. I normally buy the Gucci ones personally...
  4. Ahh, my first time in PaTong... ???? The pure exaltation on the faces of the 2 moto riders when I drew the "lucky Ticket" was a sight to behold, hi 5ing each other as they roared away to spend their bonus at their favorite bar !! I missed out on the ipad but did get a Tshirt...
  5. I think he meant 156…
  6. Isn’t that why they built the Great Wall of China, to keep the rabbits out…?
  7. Whilst reading the thread will tell you she’s off to Canada.
  8. Farang are notoriously difficult to train Owl, as I’m sure Mrs Owl would verify if she was here.
  9. Of course Poo didn’t like it… ????
  10. Yes, I understand that. By trenching I meant a minimum 900mm deep.
  11. I was surprised OP went with power poles to bring the electricity in, did you investigate trenching it in ?
  12. Mostly good advice given above. I will add that yes you have a “ flat” roof but you need to have fall to an edge, probably a minimum of 8mm per metre, 10mm is better. If you have any ponding after rain that is your problem right there, so you need to correct that first and foremost. Then you can look to a membrane system, crack preparation, priming, and likely 2-3 coats of membrane. There are membranes that are rated uv stable, I can’t vouch for their real lifespan though. There are many membranes designed to be protected by tiles, Astro turf etc. Im a tiler, I’d be checking out companies like Ardex, Latticrete, Mapei, or whoever is “strong” in your area.
  13. What happened to the box ? also, no boom boom in Chonburi ????
  14. Stick it up em, wave it around and then slap their silly faces with it ! But you can keep Bangkok to yourself. Keep up the good work Rooster ????????
  15. Hope MiL is ok and Mrs Owl is distracted enough that you can carry out your cunning plan Owl.
  16. It can help no doubt. Small tiles equals more grout per square meter, generally speaking tiles don’t get very dirty the grout is however sandy and porus and is very prone to discoloration. Soap or detergent build up over time also holds dirt and grime.
  17. The pendulum test used is great if you are a pendulum using the same rubber composition as the test box… Sure it’s a standard, but its limited in what it does. Its a bit like clothing being labeled S, M, L, XL, sure it’s a guide, but some garments I’m a M and some I’m an XL…
  18. People have a fear of shiny tiles being slippery, when actually the surface of a polished porcelain tile is quite grippy to the point that an electron microscope shows that the polishing process actually opens the tiles pore structure and these tiles are more prone to accumulating microscopic grime more so than the exact same tile unpolished. It’s counter intuitive, but it’s true. The other variable is the composition of the foot ware material, the rubber compounds. My local shopping centre in Australia recoated the concrete outside the complex last year. My thongs (footware) are a foam type and the old floor coating was terribly slippery, as were painted lines on the road, treacherous in fact. The new surface was brilliant for me… everyone else wearing rubber “double pluggers” were slipping over like nine pins !! To the point where I witnessed an amputee slip and damage the only knee he had left, poor <deleted>. In short there’s a lot of variables in slip resistance, as mentioned, bring some home and throw water on them and see how they feel to you.
  19. I recommend that you further your reading… I suspect that you have confused CO and CO2. CO is a byproduct of combustion, ie LPG. CO2 is used to carbonate beverages. Both are colorless, flavorless and have no aroma, hence the danger they pose in confined spaces.
  20. The more slip resistant (esp textured) the more difficult to clean, mop etc.
  21. Geez Owl ! That is 1 bloody STONKING snail !!
