Breakdown and deterioration of materials.
sometimewoodworker replied to phetphet's topic in General Topics
What do you find difficult about the specific quotation used and my response to that specific quotation, pointing out that high quality items rot in Thailand but not in more temperate climates I did not use the part of your post that you are now using. -

Breakdown and deterioration of materials.
sometimewoodworker replied to phetphet's topic in General Topics
While that is an interesting idea and there may be some degree of truth there I have items that when in use in other countries with a different climate to Thailand have an extremely long lifespan, however in Thailand, and I don’t pretend to know the reasons, they crumble away, an example are the Festool sanding pads (not local, not built down to a price, certainly with normal amounts of plasticisers) they have a remarkably short lifespan. The same pads used in the U.K. or stored in Japan will ware out before breaking down. -
Many offices allow you to apply up to 45 days early, however as has been stated several offices also date the under consideration period from the end of your extension giving a maximum total of 75 days. My local office, Udon Thani, is one that does this. I took advantage of this to time my last trip during the under consideration period. However you may be permitted to reduce the period of your current extension so changing the start date of your next extension. You should go to your office with your tickets and ask if that is possible.

The problem you are having is in the name and looking in the wrong place. You need to go to an actual electrical supply shop and discover the way a Thai will name them, then you will find them either in stock or available to order. The problem with looking in places like Homepro, Dohome or Thai Watsadu is that they carry the small percentage of items that make up 98% of the stuff people need and don’t bother with the 2% that few people want, and few Thai sparkies understand how to use.

IMHO no extra sand needed. Again IMHO the use or not of geotextile for that purpose is irrelevant, but it’s such a small area that the geotextile won’t cost much and can’t do any harm. See above, though I doubt that there will be any significant migration. There is a significant benefit of blue plastic directly under the concrete.
-
That’s the stuff, it’s cheaper if you buy the roll, probably less than 500 Baht, I seem to remember it was around 330. Though probably waterproof at first, I wouldn’t guarantee it in a storm and after it been in the sun a while it certainly lets water through.
-
The layerings aren’t correct, base if needed is sand then Hin Kluk, then plastic (to reduce water loss) with reinforced concrete on top. The reason for a base geotextile layer is to stop the crushed rock migration into the soil, but if you are putting concrete on top then it has no purpose. As we stopped with builders aggregate we needed the barrier to keep the stone on top as the water would allow it to sink without it.

Originally we bought shade cloth but didn’t have enough for the complete driveway, it’s probably 4 metres wide and about 40 metres long half is shade cloth half plastic roll. When SWMBO built a car port she used the cut sheets of plastic we had as dust covers in the workshop
-
No, that is mosquito net and much more expensive and if you have stone dust it will just drop through These are the thick more water resistant dark blue and thinner less water resistant two tone plastic sheet rolls, since they are 1.8m wide they are very inexpensive for this job the drive is relatively flat there is a little more grass on it now as that was May 2020
-
what are synthetic fibres but plastics? so to repeat your question “Why don't you call it by a proper name”? You clearly have your own definition of plastic that is different from that of any of the many dictionaries Merriam-Webster vocabulary.com
-
I doubt that the blue sheet would be sold as geo textual fabric but in our situation it certainly does the job and is inexpensive.
-
That is correct it is semi permeable, though this is the first time you have mentioned that . Go to any building site in Thailand, go to any of the big supplies it’s on a roll about 1.8 metres maybe 72 metres long usually two tone semi woven, the thicker roll I have is a single colour and probably shorter. It is plastic F*F*S that is why I called it plastic.
-
Virtually all geo textiles are plastics they include low density polyethylene (LDPE), high density polyethylene (HDPE), and polypropylene (PP) as well as a variety of other material You seem to have some special individual meaning of plastic that is something like ‘a material that is different from the one being described or the one I’m thinking of’ The blue sheet commonly used in construction sites is a perfectly adequate underlay over soil and under rock/stone dust/sand. It does not degrade significantly over time, we have some that has been down for 6 years, I’ve just checked and it’s as good now as when we put it down.

No claim. An observation of the way national roads are being constructed in Khon Kaen and Udon Thani provinces.

As to websites you will have to do your own investigation. I have seen the plastic being placed on road construction on R2 between KK & Udon

Plastic

Did you actually read my post??? Because the answer is there You obviously haven’t watched many roads being built as plastic is part of the construction. You also don’t see crushed rock being placed on bare soil in road building do you?
-
I actually have all the versions including the angled fork versions, though I don’t have the sleeve type. If someone were in my area I would be happy to loan out my tools. However filling in the user profile with location seems to be something people don’t do. ????

The answer to the stone and rock disappearing is not that it gets washed away, it doesn’t it sinks into the earth, but before laying the rock/stone dust put down blue plastic and put the stone on that. If you have builders stone then you can use a 60% or higher shade cloth. that is what we have done on our drive way and car port and the rock can migrate so needs to be raked but after 6 years it’s still there, though with added grass ????

What type of box to connect from wifi to smart tv ?
sometimewoodworker replied to gimo's topic in Audio Visual AV
The problem with getting a recommendation is that the recommender is likely to understand how to set it up, hence the ROM & RAM requirement, that doesn’t mean that it’s going to be possible for the OP to set it up However if there is an 8 to 12 year old boy in the house then that will probably be the answer. it’s quite likely that the knowledge of the OP means that an Apple TV would be a better choice if the apps he needs are available on it. -
What type of box to connect from wifi to smart tv ?
sometimewoodworker replied to gimo's topic in Audio Visual AV
The answer to that is that it may or may not. It’s impossible to give a definitive answer without knowing what model tv you have. It is quite likely that your tv already has the capability of doing what you want. Without knowing exactly which stations you want to connect to and who provides them it’s very difficult to to know if you actually need anything mote than you already have.
