  1. Nothing to invest. We got a truck and bins already. Been making statues today from some friends rubble. Should turn out nice.
  2. I live a half hour outside Chiang Mai. Just have to find a way to advertise. Thanks.
  3. High season is done with and so is most of my wifes employment until next season. She is getting bored, likes to make her own money and wants something to fill in the time till then. I thought this might work, but on a very small scale. I have a large property and do endless landscaping and gardening on it. As a hobby, I make my own large bricks and stepping stones from construction debris. Broken concrete, cinder blocks (it-dang), tiles, slate, roofing shingles, pottery etc..... Anything I can use to make bricks. I am also starting to make large pathways around the property using concrete fence posting laid out on the ground and filling it with broken down concrete and adding color. I Know from personal experience that when we have work done around our place by local workers, they end up leaving leftover materials and debris around as they have no way of taking it with them and dumping it. My neighbors had this problem, but I took and used it all already. And I am not aware of any companies doing this on a small scale. Only large construction removal. My idea is this. If someone needs debris removed, my wife, for a price, can use her truck to take it away, bring it home and I break it down into small rubble, which is easy to do and and I get my projects made without having to pay for aggregate. It's a win-win as I see it. People get their debris taken away, the wife makes some money and isn't bored and I have my aggregate for my projects. If anyone has any advice, opinions or criticisms, please, by all means, sound off. It's just a large pick up truck with a plastic bed in back. I was thinking of using those black garden pools you see at garden centers to hold the debris, so as not to damage the bed.
  4. Easy to manage. You see it everywhere here for decoration around ponds in front of businesses. Big C, Banks, shopping malls.
  5. Singapore Daisy. You see it around many ponds. Easy to manage. Grows fast, nice yellow flowers. I have it in many places on my land.
  6. She passed last week after 23 days without wanting to eat and 8 days no water. My vet friend in the states says he never heard of a dog lasting that long. I stayed with her at the end. I cried each night saying goodby as I though she would go before morning and then when she went, I had no tears left. My other dogs still try each day to dig her out under the grave stone. The other day, I watched my Lab carry a leaf over to the grave and drop it on it.She just sat there staring for a minute, then left. Shook my head in Wonder. We took in one last dog this week and have shut down our pet rescue project due to insensitivity of the vets here.
  7. Update. We are on day 18 without food. Was drinking a lot of water the last couple of days and has now stopped. A vet friend in the states has said her kidneys are going and it should be just a few days more till she passes. He knows of no other way to help her pass without it causing problems. I cleaned her up this morning and have her under a mosquito net. She seems to be calmer now and not in any pain that I can detect. I will let her pass here at home peacably here at home surrounded by our other dogs and us. I have her resting place dug with a small statue I made alongside all our past pets. Thanks to all for your advice and kind words.
  8. Good. That's how I gave her her other pills. I have a syringe for that purpose.
  9. We stopped the medicine after the first day. We do leave the water out near her and pass some food under her nose to see if she will take it. Always no. And Iv'e cooked up all her favorites. It is also to alleviate more of her suffering than mine.
  10. I am also considering the pills and bag option. Thank you.
  11. Thank you. I will look into the Benadryl option as well. 2 weeks no food now,
  12. Thanks for the advice. Sorry to hear about you and your dog. I can't imagine. We have many dogs, all rescues, I will have to give it a go with Helium. I'll look it up. I will have to do this to many dogs in life unfortunately.
  13. As per posts from someone else last week, I too now am in a situation, where I must euthanize my own dog at home. She will not eat. Been 10 days. Now won't drink much, I have tried spoon feeding her and and forcing my large hand down her throat to get something down there, but it just comes back up. I have been to 3 different clinics and hospitals all coming back with the same negative blood tests. I have gotten bags of pills from them and IV's done. She cannot walk due to hip problems. Large dog 13 years old. Pee's while sleeping, so have to bathe her twice a day because of flies( I try to keep her under a mosquito net). I have to dissolve the pills in water to inject down her throat with a plastic syringe. Now they want me to come in everyday for an IV to keep her alive. To prolong her suffering I'm guessing. She tries to crawl away from me anytime I come close to her because she knows what I have to give her and to bathe her. The clinics it seems just want your money and try to keep you coming back for more tests. She's 13 for godsake, how many years do they think she has left? Sorry if I sound angry, but I am. She is very sressed out. Please don't suggest the clinic across from The Dukes in Hangdong, Chiang mai land or Samoeng road intersection or any other. I'm done with them. No vet will euthanize her without more blood tests, pills, IVs' and suffering. I just want to know the best way to do it myself. I have had to do it to smaller dogs, but not a large one. Sorry, have no friends with guns. Again, don't bother with more clinic recommendations. Thank you.
  14. Been going to Mccormick's for my Halux Limitus (No cartilage in the big toe joint) and they can only do cortisone shots and recommended Dr. Chanakarn. Was told to come in next week and got a message today that he won't be back until the 10th-14th.
