As Worgeordie says need to understand model numbers to then check capacity and check they are correctly sized for the size of room. Other factors to consider are room materials ie brick /wood and glass, plus any openings. You mention new build, are there any other identical houses with tenants, as you could canvas them for their feedback. If A/C units incorrectly sized, then down to the sales contract, if stipulated. I had a similar experience in England over incorrectly sized boiler in a new build, they installed for a 1 bed flat not a 2 bed house. Redress was I had to pay for my own replacement, hence any future Buy-2-Lets I did my own full surveys. Tried asking for the specs of the A/C units in my Thai rental condo, as well as the service logs, was told "not possible". Luckily they work, plus I pulled a "not working okay" request to get a service visit, which my Landlord duly oblieged too. Next one due in June.

Have used KeePass for a number of years, and even deployed it in my last Financial Services Company. When using "Special Characters", most organisations will detail the range to select from, which is most of the non Numeric and Upper / Lower case characters on the keyboard. So potentially you can have a 97 Character Character-Set for passwords using the traditional English keyboard. Numbers = 10 Upper case = 26 Lower case = 26 Special Characters = 35 ! #$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~£¬" However, there are many more characters available using the ALT+<Numeric Keyboard>. (NB The caveat is knowing how your computer has been setup in terms of Language, Fonts, Locale / Region and also physical keyboard, plus the application you're using to create the characters.) The <Alt> Codes were initially created by IBM using a 3 digit number, however Microsoft expanded on this to create the ANSI Character set. Currently there are nearly 150,000 codes across the Unicode character set. So, typing <Alt>+0128 will give me the Euro currency symbol, €. Typing <Alt>+128 gives the Ç symbol. So for Japanese Yen, <Alt>+190, ¥ and for spelling Cafe correctly, then Caf<Alt>+130, Café Using Word / Outlook / Excel, then on my Computer I can get the Thai Baht Character by using <Alt>+3647, yet using my Chrome browser onto AseanNow.Com, gives a Question Mark, as the character isn't recognised / mapped. To add extra security, then replacing the letter O in a word with a numeric Zero, same for 3 for an e, or 1 for the letter L or i expands the number of characters within your character set. Moving into European languages, then make use of letters with ascents, so the word Ape, could become Äpé, or AseanNow could be written as ŧÆnN©w, the letters ea are reversed and written as a diphthong. For added complexity, use a Pass-Phrase rather than an individual word, so Th3ShopN€xtD00r as opposed to 711 would be much more secure. So in terms of how secure my KeePass file is, then, I'm using a pass phrase of 32 Characters in length, from a Character Set of nearly 150,000 characters. Let AI or even a brut force attack from the Goddess of Ultimate Power try and crack that within my lifetime!

Main Customer Services numbers for Lloyds are 0345 300 0000 or from abroad then 01733 347 007, add the +44 prefix and drop the leading UK zero from the front of the numbers, both of which will connect you to the UK Contact Centers. Emergency numbers are 0800 096 9779 or 01702 278279. Emergency Cash are 0345 982 5304 or 01702 278274. As said above, get a Skippy Account, as a lot cheaper than using Roaming charges. If you're on AIS mobile, then prefix with 003 44, again drop the leading Zero.

HomePro have a variety of ascension devices, I think they're called ladders. Is that industrial enough? Found this from a couple of years ago.

Pattaya Cab. No issue with early starts, give them as much notice as you can.

USB drives might be your simplest way. If you can insert 2 USB drives at once, you could have General and Secret data USB drives. I would suggest making the Secret USB drive a removable MicroSD card version, that way you're only hiding a MicroSD thumb nail sized device as opposed to a complete USB drive. Double sided tape, BluTak or similar adhesives could be used to hide / conceal the drive. Apparently, worst case scenario, MicroSD cards will "survive" a couple of hours if submerged in gastric acid! As Swiss1960 points out any proficient IT person would suss you're using 2 USB drives for data storage, so keep a copy of your General data drive as a visable MicroSD card backup laying about. Lastly make sure to tidy-up your Recently Used files list. Assuming Office Apps, click on Home which will display last used / saved files, hi-lite the "Secret" file, Right mouse click and select Remove.

Not sure what Network you're on. But if EE, enter "how do I get an ee unlock code " into Google, check that you've clicked onto https://ee co.uk/... incase you selected a Non EE link. Then follow the instructions.

Water pistol, or better still one of those pump up garden sprays, the pressure and range is further, plus turn up the nozzle and you've got a <deleted>ting remover. Use to use one when I had similar seagull issues living by the coast in UK.

Had a similar issue many years ago when PMing office refurbs , builder argued was within tolerances for the job. Had to admit defeat. However bought a 3x4x5 triangle (good old Egyptians) and 1800mm spirit level (ideal for kitchen cabinets as well) and made a point of checking all future builds as they happen. Had a Victorian terrace house number of years ago as a fixa-upper, decided to take the wall out between front and middle room. Made a test hole at skirting height to double check thickness, and as expected one brick thick plus plaster. Come the demolition, the plaster got thicker and thicker as you went up the wall, to the point it was over 2 bricks thick at the top. Only conclusion we could reach is the pub next door was a year older than the terrace houses, so plastering was done after lunch when the beer was effecting eyesight!

Preferance would be German eg Braun, however bought an Omron and delivers similar accurate readings. Bought mine from Boots in Central Pats. As Sheryl said, get the upper arm type not the wrist type.

Point taken, should have said "similar". Point is you can get 1000 Mbs in Thailand but only upto 900 for residential in the UK.

Just reconnected by fibre with ToT, now NT, 6994 THB at 1000/500 for the year (£168). New install would be an extra 2500 THB. Best BT deal in the UK is 900/100 at 28000 (£672) THB pa if you sign for 2 years. One of the advantages of Thailand.

Lack of insects in thai coastal cities
RayWright replied to ArturGorbachev's topic in General Topics
Good point. Just been driving around the Northern Rivers area in NSW and can confirm, compared to 40 years ago when last there; my white hire car was still pristeen white after 3 days of driving. Also the Road-Kill was a lot less as well. Worrying. -
