Rampant Rabbit

I built a  second interior  wall up against the neighbours  condo with a  2  inch air gap  filled with fibreglass and then the odd  squirt of  spray foam to bond the blocks to the party  wall every so often.

Paid  to sleep, tough life eh!!

After seeing many a  sheite install and many a  sheite cleaning guy I learnt how to clean my own. I also boughty aircons with an easily removable drain tray "DaiKin" do one. You can remove the entire tray easily. With it out I then stick a  hose on the end of the drain pipe and blast the jelly  out. Followed by bleach. If your aircon guy isnt dismantling the airocn chances are they arent cleaning out the drain. Also I stuck some fine mesh in the drain pipe where it exits the room to stop anything crawling up it such as ants , jing joks etc and those wasps thing which like to make a mud  nest.

You are probably right. Everything seems like a waste of time though. Just have fun or dont do it. 

Its a  human trait to want to "believe" in a God ( nonsense of course ) its  also a human trait to want to think life has any meaning whatsoever. I really dont see why there should be any meaning, it just "is".

Just remember as Monty Python sang, you were the lucky sperm that actually came to fruition. Then you can listen to "Every sperm is sacred" good  old  dig at religion, followed by the "Galaxy song" One day it  will all be gone......... pause for thought and realise "you" are nothing, then get on with whaetever you do, could be worse you could have been born in a  starving African country.

They should  lock up the tv show directors for appaling use of boings, bongs, dingz and other dumbass noises........tv for 2  year olds

You probably can offer an alternative way to dry rice?

Blow on each grain for 2  minutes, please  pass that information on to all Thai farmers you know, I like to help.

Dont worry they wont want dirty falangs  organs.

Better start with "Land of Smiles"  then

Another too late crock of <deleted>e ruined by "baby factorys"  run by foreigners and Thais some years ago prevented my self and Wife going down the surrogacy route when the govt Banned it all. Thanks Thailand you lost big time, its quality you want not quantity although someone has to do the spadework in factories fields etc. to keep the higher ups businesses functioning.

Keep it  up..........

I think it matters to the ones that were being murdered, or at least the ones left behind.

Even chimpanzees go on murdering  sprees its not just a human trait.

Seems like a lot of spiritually devoid people on the planet. Humans are a vile species IMO, to do the things that have happened on and since October 7th.

 

Human history is filled with slaughter of the innocent, and it doesn't look like we are ever going to stop, till we exterminate ourselves, or another large asteroid comes our way.

and whose to say its wrong or  right, no people probably = better planet. You dont need any "spiritual" mumbo jumbo to be decent half the problem is belief in mumbo jumbo like that then fighting others for that fantasy.

“The word God has become empty of meaning through thousands of years of misuse... By misuse, I mean that people who have never glimpsed the realm of the sacred, the infinite vastness behind that word, use it with great conviction, as if they knew what they are talking about. Or they argue against it, as if they knew what it is they are denying. This misuse gives rise to absurd beliefs, assertions, and egoic delusions, such as "My or our God is the only true God, and your God is false," or Nietzsche's famous statmeent "God is dead.”

sounds like your replacing god with spiritual, neither exist

If we don't believe in GOD, ergo, can't believe in the Devil.  For the believers, do think about ...

,,, Man was made in GOD's image,(Genesis 1:27), means GOD is real A$$hole, evil to the core, and has no sense of humour.

God was made in Mans image.......funny that eh, surely  just coincidence. Its a farce

If anyone doubts that humans can be utterly evil, just look at Gaza, Sudan, Mali, Rawanda ( when the genocide happened ), the Congo, any episode of colonisation. Not forgetting Stalin and the Bolsheviks, Mao and the Cultural Revolution, Idi Amin, Ghengis Khan and his mountains of heads, etc etc etc.

The history of human kind is soaked in the blood of countless billions.

problem is you are  looking at it purely through human eyes, many animals do what could be described as evil things, they arent evil its just nature. There is  no good bad all are human constructs.

The 150k is not an allowance, it's a zero rated tax free band that everyone gets. The 60k is the personal allowance that everyone gets also and if they are married, the spouse gets it too. So, that's 120k in allowances for the tax payer and the non working spouse. After all the allowances are deducted from the assessible income, that gives you taxable income which is applied against the tax tables, of which the first 150k is zero rated or free of tax.

Thanks so I can expect 150k no tax then 60k extra  allowance  also no tax  total 210k no tax to pay and the same for my Wife if  filing seperately

As a 'rule of thumb' we would install downpipes at a maximum distance of 12m apart if pushed but try for 8 - 10m if we had to - that's with a 75mm downpipe, on standard gutter and in Europe where the gutter capacity is normally lesser. Aesthetically and sometimes functionally it is the norm to avoid having downpipes in the middle of a run - that's usually achievable in a domestic situation.

 

Given that when it rains in Thailand, it really rains, I'd be going for runs of 5 - 6m max, depending on a convenient collector position and probably upgrade to 100mm or even 120mm downpipe if its available. When bracketing, remember that the bigger the gutter, the more weight it will carry - more is much better than less.

 

I've always used plastic but not sure on quality in Thailand - stainless probably better.

 

A local builder is probably best for the job and for advice on sizes.

no problem with quality of scg and winsdor  brand  gutter in WHITE  in Thailand, had mine up over 10 years

Nice. What you have there is pretty much what I have all around my modest hutch. I have quite a few 45° miters and the joints are getting hard to find, last time I was at Hardware House they had the inside miters but not the outers.

Still, I agree with everything you say - no fuss, clean lines and ridiculously easy to install.

You can use windsor  brand and scg brand Homepro stock the externals, I saw them at huahin recently theyre  about 500nbaht ish

Yes that would certainly help, but not applicable  for a few years yet and I have to wait till 67 on the State pension kicking in. I maybe need to do a "in 4 and bit years" and "in 6 and a bit years time" version 

is  that the 60k+the 150k? under 65years  old total 210k per  person ? how  about if  married and each half wanst to be taxed personally  not as a joint couple can they both get 150k +60kpa?
