It does require management & is not very shade tolerant, but this is some that hasn’t been managed much for 10+ years 

 

then this was 8 years ago

 

 

it is also very good at treating dirty or contaminated water so plant it over your leach field.

I  just  dumped  hundreds  of tons of gravel 6  inch thick  on the ground as  live  within 3 km of the quarry and its  dirt  cheap and maintenance  free, also dug correct drainage  channels, the main aim is  not to stop the water but to slow  down its  progress, also totally  stops any weeds at 6inch thick

@MJCM

Thanks for the compliment!

I am using AutoCAD to produce the drawings (to scale) in 2D.

But I am by no means an expert using the software... self-taught!

 

I too am using Sweet Home 3D to produce 3D images of the main house, but I find that although the results are very good conceptually, they are not accurate and the libraries available don't have everything I want.

For example, steps and stairs are just not intuitive... neither are ramps and slopes.

 

I will post some of my preliminary designs for the main house later.

i used  "floorplanner"it was  ok as I didnt need  any permission where I was, it  was  soley for my use  only , tried  sketch up  just couldnt get on with it at  all

The kind that can't afford to buy their 16 yo a car, like my parents did.

If  I wanted a  bike "I"  had to  buy it,  no one was going to buy it  for me, parents  buying their kids cars are sick, make them work for it stop giving it them on a plate.................  she probably   wa s looking at a  phone, seems it MUST be looked at about every 20 seconds in case they miss  the total cpra such as tik tok . simple  solution,  phone or  bike NOT  both.

I dont have any sympathy

Same one as ours and we got ours from the local BK Roofing (ordered 8 April 2020)

Nearest Bluescope to me 100km away and on another house ordered from them arrived  battered and dented............oh but they did  replace it and charge us re  delivery,  always that good  ole  customer service.

I think so:

VS

I maen your second  photo, wasnt available by  me had to be made  elsewhere even though they had the steel forming machines they could  only  add  the thin foam and was expensive, maybe just my location I dont know, did  my roof in January on one  of my  houses

At the factory?

There are multiple roof metal forming shops spread all over the country.

Many of those offer PU insulation.

And just about every Bluescope affiliated shop offers PU insulation as an option.

I  think were  talking different things, this is the metal sheets with a  very level layer of  about 4  inch thick hard foam stuck to them

My house has a regular four sided pitched roof rather like a pyramid. There is plenty of headroom for me being vertically indisposed as you might say. There are plenty of horizontal RC beams to walk along  which allows easy access to the ceiling below without stepping on the panelling. I'm sure the ceiling would fall apart if I were to stand on it.

 

I  ran 2 x 4"  steel beams   welded  togethr  across  all my  wall  tops  so I cna traverse  the roof  space when  building, can only do it  during  construction as they were 6 metres  long

PU Expensive? As relative to the thermal properties it provides?

I'd say it's a bargain in reference to reduction of the cooling costs.

PU doesn't de-laminate, the other "thin" stuff does and is mostly worthless in comparison.

I  got a price for  both and the  panels  shown with it  applied at the factory was  way  more  expensive, the  thin stuff  is  fine and concentrate on thick fibreglass  over the ceilings

I think that's very close to an ideal combination - metal roof with the attached PU foam underneath plus fiberglass batts above the ceiling.

An addition of ventilated roof ridge would make it ideal.

Thats  stuffs  expensive. an alternative is the same  roof  with6-10mm  foam, spray glued  on though have seen the stuff  delaminating in some places

Erosion is something that is poorly managed by your typical rice farmers

Takes thought and planning, heres  mine dug  by makro and concreted  by hand by myself  during monsoon downpours,  took me  a bout 3  months  alone mixing by hand is   about 250metres  length overall, grasded  down to a  lake and  by pass  down the road if  required when lake  is  full. SWouldnt waste  my time with most Thai workers, 90cm  deep and  still gets  full

It's Thai Airways, they will end up canceling these "seats" and just say "mai dai" when asked for a refund.

 

And I totally want to buy a ticket on an airline that is selling seats off its planes...

They arent the only  ones judging by a google  search airlines  have had a  field  day witholding refunds wordlwide, I myself am  owed 65000 baht by AIR  FRANCE, nope  not  paying, ticket expired they say, really they cancelled  my  flight  not me I asked for an open ticket, cant find there ticket rules  anywhere certainly  well  hidden if  on the website, Told me ticket  open for re  booking, I kept  mailing saying couldnt do it due to covid, last e mail said ticket expired eff  off  no refund.............BUT  please  book another ticket with us.........clueless and couldnt give a flying (  pun) fark about their  customers.

Contact almost  impossible as many companies  now make it so.

Disgraceful daylight robbery.

My sole aim in life now to mention AIR FRANCE

Take some better lessons in BS Thai govt 

Good  to hear that the French who wont refund  me my 65000 baht air  ticket AIR FRANCE  that theyve held for two  years will give money to Vietnam, guess  that means Im funding it  being as they  have billions of French govt  money to  support  them..............and  you thought Thai Air was  bad!

The GREAT  THAI  ARMY could help with this....take them into the woods dig a  hole and bury them..............then let  anyone mentioning it leave immediately for Australia

Climate science is mostly spin.
