Raro pans are great... season them yourself if you want but they come ready to cook with. Dutch oven is also very good... and heavy!

A whirlybird on the roof, taking the hot air from the ceiling cavity, will make a greater difference, and that's based on personal experience.

Reflective foil under the tiles and a whirlybird are a better combination than batts, imo, but batts will prevent cool air being transferred through the ceiling to the roof cavity, so provide some benefit.

Use a multi pronged approach, whirlybird, foil and batts, none of them will break the bank.

Am constantly amazed seeing no ventilation of attic spaces being ventilated at all. That seems to be such a no-brainer but...

You are not trying to eliminate hot air from your roof cavity, you need to have a barrier to stop radiated heat whirly birds will not get rid of radiated heat. Extensively used in factories and buildings without ceiling cavities their main purpose is for ventilation.

Hot air is hot air and needs to be allowed to escape from the ceiling cavity. Ambient temperature air can enter the ceiling cavity by screened openings in the eaves... you can't get the temp lower than the outside air temp of course. The cooler air entering will become heated by the radiated heat and them dissipate via the roof vents (whirlybirds or passive vents).

UPDATE

Just left Bangkok International Dental Center where I had a chat with one of their dentists.

He examined my crown and said that they cannot "fix" it for me as they do not believe it is well fit to my tooth. He suggested that I return to the first dentist at Deleted Dental Hospital and ask them to fix it.

Or, I can get a new, quality one from the new doctor, that fits correctly, made of material that is tooth-colored, and the bonus is I have a gold, tooth shaped pendant to wear around my neck!

Seems that you haven't learned yet that there is a time when you should just stop any procedure and leave. The white coat does not make them a god by any means.

+1 for Dr. Bannakit. He did my biopsy at RAM also. I don't remember the price. Insurance paid most; but not all. I also had general anesthesia (Propofol) and no problems or discomfort whatsoever. I had the procedure around 9:00 and was on my way home by 14:00.

What he explained to me was that RAM was the only place that he could book an anesthesiologist. He said that at Sriphat it is not considered necessary (more of a comfort) and that anesthesiologists are on short supply there. So, the anesthesia could be bumped if there is nobody available due to more serious surgeries at the same time. 50/50 chance I believe he said. At SUan Dok no general anesthesia available for biopsy.

The good Dr. B padding the bill yet again by insisting the use of RAM. You're right... I am no fan of him and his work.

Get an AUD Citibank account in Singapore, you can move it any where then.

Personally wouldn't go the Citibank route but there are some very good banks in S'pore you can work with easily and legally.

Large trucks haul it to a "landfill" between Chom Thong and Hot. Downstream of any water source for Chiang Mai.

Get some sulfur, mix with vegetable oil and apply every couple of days. Works like a charm.

I'm not so sure about the Kojima being made in China... perhaps it is but mine has given lots of great service. Honda 6.5 hp engine.

Kojima is a brand that I have and have used extensively with good results. They make 2 sizes but, IMHO, buying the "larger" unit is a waste of money as the actual working part of the machines is the same.

Drawbacks: engine is not movable for belt adjustment (solved at a local shop), the bearing that come on the machine are the non-lube type and will no last long. Solved the latter problem at the local shop as well.

You can move it around easily.

Makro has McGarrett brand at least in Chiang Mai. Split peas, pinto beans, barley, garbanzo beans etc etc

Have you checked with that big electrical supply shop on Wua Lai Road? The best I can ascertain this is their website - in Thai but the map looks right.

Please let me know if they do have a heat lamp as I am thinking of installing one for the cool season as well.

Also sent a message.

If and when you find the shop would appreciate a pm...

Canadian looney tunes!

I don't think this is funny......time these "freaks" were got rid of......instead of tolerating them as some kind of tourist attraction

The Pattaya ladyboys commit theft so often that for me they are all criminals or potential criminals.

Ladyboys in Pattaya are just violent men in women's attire. Perverse sick thieving bastards pent on doing tourists or any foreigner extreme harm to steal their belongings in any such fashion that suits the occasion. To me personally, they all look like mutton dressed as lamb. Like an extremely bad makeover that went hellishly wrong.

These are the scourge of Thai society that need to be controlled by the powers that be because sooner or later the body counts will rise once more restrictions are put in place. With them needing money quicker needing to lash out with lightening speed save them getting caught or discovered under the umbrella of the usual sexual innuendo like scrimmages they use to divert ones concentration from their true thieving exploits with this updated tranny version of the artful Dodgers street gangs of the past.

Just saying ....

Does your level of hate get in the way of any rational thoughts you might possibly have? Perhaps a ladyboy broke through those defenses once and you have hated yourself ever since...

Big hardware store in Chom Thong has a stack of them...

I have a basic phone so I don't have to deal with shit.......

Amen brother. Its a Samsung with DTAC G2. My g/f found while out biking. I guess one of these days DTAC will tell me that G2 is no long viable. I hope they pass out free ones like all the other companies are doing.

AIS 'gave' me a new phone - wanted my old one but i wouldn't let them have it.

Good thing as the junker they 'gave' me was a piece of fecal matter and wouldn't keep a battery charge for more than 14 hours. Gave it back to them with a "thanks but no thanks".

We'll see what happens next for their 8 million users with G2 and G3 900mHz system...

If your target house is not a flat roof but has an airspace above the top floor then cross-ventilation with an attic fan is a simple and very effective relief. You need openings on both ends for inflow and exit air, best use barred and screened cover to keep out vermin. Have a switch on top or bottom floor and just remember to turn it on and off, or put on timer. Check the fan for quiet running and mount with rubber blocks or washers to cut vibrations.

In addition to the attic ventilation be sure to check on having at least 15 cm (6") foil backed insulation in the floor of the attic (therefore on the ceiling of the 2nd floor rooms). Makes a huge difference!

For surgery he did well enough with one problem. On a separate issue he was pushing for surgery. Learning from research, I opted for successful treatment under the watch and guidance of a GP. Dr. B was not pleased with my decision but the results have been fine.

Haven't had any further need for a urologist in CM.

The one problem success was the stones or something else?

If the successful treatment under the GP was the stones can you say what the treatment was?

Thanks

Surgery was not involved with stones.

Treatment was for prostatitis. He was insisting on a biopsy without even doing a finger wave...

OP - Dr Bannakij Ram hospital is an excellent urologist. Good English and a jovial manner... http://www.chiangmairam.com/NEW%20CMR/Physician%20Eng/Urology%20Clinic%20Eng%20.html

Be aware that the good Dr. B is much more a cutter than a treater. In that you say that the stones are not giving you pain at the moment I surely would opt for some treatments (non-invasive) before stepping up to a surgical procedure.

Before the flamers ignite on me... yes, I have had experience in working with Dr. B.

He read my report on mine & did say I had two problems from the lab report.

The 3 stones which are 0.6-0.9cm & also a slight narrowing section of the Ureter

So initially he said he did think the shockwave may not work as even broken they may have problems passing narrow section

So on the one hand that agrees with your cut statement but based on what may also be fact about the narrowing.

I do know the narrowing was a very tiny segment but still narrow is narrow.

I do not know enough about the shockwave treatment & need to read more.

I would like to know when stones are broken this way ..how small are they broken

On a side note did you also find any other good urologists in CM?

Thanks

Great suggestion and we thank you for letting us know. I find that that a selenium based shampoo (Head & Shoulders?) works great for controlling skin fungus infections before they become so bad from scrathching that they become infected sores (bacterial).
