The weird mix of metric and imperial sizes

my plan is to have 4' X 1m

????

At TaiWasadu:

6 meters for the steel and 2,97m (or 9.75ft) for the aluminium,

Delivery was if I remember right 300thb.

Have to make a construction on the rooftop for extra solar panels, the panels has to float above the panes and pointed roof.

They are now on the lower roof (carport) but at times at day shadows from poles and lines are on the panels.

The construction (colored red in the picture) is then a layer that's on top of the roof (for the alu. rails) and on the side for blinds to keep the wall cool.

It doesn't help to have 3-prong receptacle if there's no ground going to them.  Edit:  looking again it appears your grounds are white.  So, nevermind.  Another edit:  If there are two white going to receptacles, it could have been problematic making sure N to N and E to E.  Might be something to test.

Right, but WAIT..

After looking to the box, what I see is that the wires to the receptacles are mixed at the two busbars. 

The white are supposed to be neutral but there are black wires too, and one blue in the earth bus bar.

There is the possibility that the black wire was neutral, white earth and red the live (old colors).

And somewhere in time the white used as neutral (only one has a green tape mark) and maybe black still used as neutral but looking at the wire gauge for lightning or used for earth at the receptacles.

Anyway, look in the receptacles first, and other points like the lightnings and as Steve said, test everything.

We wouldn't let happen the return path from the L to the N going to the earth bar, and the link was gone..

Shows Iran has the balls and a fine adherence to what is right or to a conventional standard of conduct to admit they were in the wrong.

Balls, something that the responsibles and their gov for downing the MH370 lacks.

Same here, my Kawa with tube over 5 years old never loose air.

The Click here need a shot every week from 7psi to 29.

The front weel barely need new air, I remembered payed a tat bit more for the new inner tube when the outer was worn and replaced.

100(in.tube)+690(out.tube)thb service at home.

The rear, just a fix new inner but 120thb all in.

Done at a road shop, perhaps low quality tube.

Works fine, but queuing up in the air line required every week.

That would get a lot of time for the Hamexit.

We will again see the PM crying and bet there will be bets laid if they got out before the Brexit or not.

The problem with this little project, I was working on my own with heavy timber on uneven ground. Measure twice, cut once, minimise lifting.

Otherwise I normally use the string line and eyes method.

Edit. And by heavy I mean dang heavy!

How did you move and erecting them, sledges and pulleys?

Or the way the Egyptians did and you're now left with a huge pile of sand ? ????

Clear that there are issues.. unclear what.

Used to look for good deals, like garage and moving sales for my household items.

Got some trough TVc and some items trough CL (you know what the url is) which still have a few good but declining too.

Looks like the site is down

plug pulled and bits zeroed.

Is the Classifieds still up?

Couldn't create a topic in the subforum and the classifieds.thaivisa seems down.

Did Escher design those?

No. Although you can call it an Escherian design it is not his.

The square is an moebius, which was invented a century earlier by August Ferdinand Möbius.

That right-upper fork is from the Impossible Trident Figure and that Trident was created by D. H Schuster, an American psychologist.

Roger Hayward, also an American, drawed an stone pillar which resemble the same.

'Not impossible, well done chap'                       'oooh.. magnificque! '

They also charged a good deal to install the poles and the cables - they refused to underground the cables so my neighbours have a 'pretty view'...they also didnt want to put in 3 phase - so I now have the same supply as before except that I have a transformer and I pay a huge multiplier that I dont really understand 

What is the story why you (need) have an transformer? As you had a temporary meter before which worked out fine, and to what were they connected.

What I see now is a single HV line and a taped neutral (transformer has only one insulated stick pointing up), but no 'regular' 230 volt lines in the pole.

So I can assume the temporary meter was connected to another power line up the road, and the pole is all new with only one HV line and the transformer just for you?

Perhaps, you were asking for three phase and they thought you be a customer with high demand thus giving this solution (less voltage drop at distance at moments of high demands) instead of laying three phases.

my bill - I have used (in my opinion) less electricity than normal since I was away for 2 weeks over Christmas and shut the pool down, no air con or lights - total blackout - yet my bill was over 7,000 baht (normally I was paying 5-6,000 a month with the odd month touching 8,000.

 

Here are the pictures of the meter and the transformer - for me I am confused why the meter is 'small' amp rating and the house is over 1,000m2 with 15 aircon (although I have never used more than 2 at once!) Previously the multiplier on my bills was zero (on the temp supply).

6000 Baht minus the tax and service fee would be around 5250 for electricity. That divided by 7 is 750 kWh. Two aircons running 8hr/day 3kWh*8=720kWh/month.

Sums up pretty good and for the meter is indeed small but for a continuous demand for the aircon (mostly two of them at max) it is decently sized, but if you use more then that meter would be pretty small. You did mention a pool, does it have a heavy pump and are you using heaters in showers? All that add up.

You were out 2 weeks over Christmas, but the bill is for 24th November to 16th of December.

The PEA could explain this at the best.

(crossy) I couldn't stop seeing it, but that ''spark gap'' between the center lines. It's 230 volt but with heavy rain or humidity, isn't it better that 2nd clamp bolted like the 1st , pointing leftwards?

The fee stamp is a green post stamp, available at the post office and some other stores.

250 liters for one shower?
