sometime

Sorry my policy is local dogs only.

The last pups dumped in the area were so sickly I had to despatch them, not to my pleasure but in my mind kindness and no more suffering.

Why not take them in before it all starts going downhill for them?

Because I already have 3 rescue dogs, Do you want one of the pups by any chance?

A couple of months ago I was at the top of the garden when I saw a motorcycle stop and dump two sacks. I thought they were dumping rubbish but it turned out to be five puppies and their mother.

Mum stayed around to look after them for a while but has now disappeared. They spend most of the time in the shrubbery, a little food is supplied to keep them going and most of their protein will come from the ample supply of bugs in the area.

The little black runt of the pack had a limp and wasn’t looking too good this morning. More than likely this would be due to the speeding cars and motorcycles. He wasn’t there this afternoon. I will look out for him tomorrow.

I can’t believe how friendly they have become over a short time.

They are in the Najomtien/Sattahip area

More of above; do not give up.

The only reasonable thing to do is buy better seeds, changing the soil will not help; it will get reinfected.

Do not plant heirlooms, no disease resistance.

There are many good seeds bred with specific resistance for your problems. Seed packs have various letter designations signifying specific disease resistance; the more letters the better.

You must buy overseas,preferably in the US.

Learn about wood vinegar, it will help you control fungus & parasites.

Good Luck

Thanks for the info on DONT plant Heirlooms, I did sorry to say problem was I got my seeds from the UK as it was an easy choice, they dont like the heat.

I came across this websitsite that has good infomation on tomatoes

Now I am looking for a online site in the USA that will ship to Thailand

Hi, Just one point do you alternate the plants in the soil every season?

Hi I have had a salt chrorinator for the past six years, and just add salt mainly in the rainy season, and its been crystal clear for the past six years, and I dont have to add chlorine.

Tesco have it, comes in A tube, its on the shelf with all the glues etc.

jost hope the Best Before date is not 10 11 2011

Cutting the grass today just managed to save this lovely bug.

They grow straw mushrooms next to my house to sell at the local markets,but they only last a few days after being picked, then they go slimey with a foul smell.

I have just done my 90 reporting, and I am due to exit Thailand in the next two weeks (with exit permit) Do I still report for the 90 day on the date on the slip stapled in my passport, or do the report when I return.

Thanx

I would like to know this as well thanks

Hi.

I have looked on the net but can’t seem to find the name of this tree/shrub that I acquired.

The leaf cuttings I took awhile back seem to be doing well except for one with leaf curl.

Any help would be welcome.

What’s the latest from True Vision saying that all DMX channels will be terminated from the 16^th September 2012?

Will that mean no more music full stop!!

Time I found anothe supplier.

I have been using panda Cloud for the past 2 years, small download.

Joint accounts are generally not accepted for the purposes of extensions, you're probably lucky they are letting you use it at all

We have just got our retirement extension based on 800,000 in the account last week for the sixth year running no problem, also using our bank account that is in joint names, could it be that it’s ok because we are both Farang?

If this is not the case new bank account due in my name only

Hi

I have seen barbed wire & razor wire at Homeworks.

Believe you each had to provide a TM.7 and payment/paperwork above?

Yes, should have put that to make things a little more clearer.

We have just renewed our visa today, based on the 800k in the bank armed with multitude of photocopies and duplicate forms that were not required,

All that they required was

1 Completed TM 7 with photo attached.

Photo copies of original O stamp and latest visa stamp

Photocopy passport face page

Photocopy of TM6 Departure card

Photocopy of proof of address, House book or Utility bill

Photocopy of bankbook, first page showing account number and name

Photocopy of bankbook showing 800,000+ and transactions for the past three months

Letter from the bank showing the amount in the account.

Photocopy of Marriage certificate (non Thai Spouse)

Due to conflicting reports, can anyone say for sure if you need a medical certificate to renew a 5 year driving license in Pattaya? Thank you

What I am referring to is "damping", not reduced sound transmission. While the results may be similar, the mechanism is different. As I understand things, damping is preventing the re-transmission of sound --- either internally and externally. That's what I'm looking for data on.

@Kwasaki

No, the discussion here is not limited to the COST of one type of block over another. Read the title. It is about Pros and Cons.

FWIW, a porous / fibrous material between layers of mass doesn't do all that much for reducing sound transmission. Fiber board and fiber blankets work well to reduce the reverberation of sound within a space, but I'm not sure how important that is inside a residential wall.

However, I don't think it is about atomic bomb shelters.

----------------------

It is difficult to sort of imagine one's way, acoustically speaking, through a breeze block wall. Each block is complex with 'chambers', 'walls' and 'connections'. But a double Superblock wall might have some significant advantages over a double breeze block wall.

Yes double or treble the cost.

You are beginning to sound like some of the artchitects I had to deal with, and never mind part of the title " Pros and Cons " read the post.

Hi,

Im trying to figure out why someone would spend say 25 to 30BHT on one of the lightwieght "breezeblock" type products versus for example

simple concrete blocks made by locals at 4bht a piece, also the small terracotta bricks that are mere Satangs a piece.

Has anyone done a compartive analysis of these 3 types of building materials to ascertain which one actually represents good value?

OP Ruf

( " However, I don't think it is about atomic bomb shelters." ) Acoustically speaking there pretty good at it.

I am in the process of blocking in the garage door (this is a DIY job) had the breeze blocks delivered today,4 Baht each, and yes they are brittle, especially when wet after a nights rain, they are now drying off under cover.

So here are the questions what is the best thickness for the render? As I have seen that it varies so much.

What is the best rendering product/name and what is a good mix ratio?

I could get someone in to do the job but I tend to like hands on.

The photos are my last DIY job, all good for the waistline,

True came a few weeks ago to exchange the old box for the new HD box, on the back of the box there is a USB slot for a memory stick, but the instruction booklet doesn’t say any information to the use of a memory stick in the box, Any ideas?

Thanks

I do have a True Move H prepay. I just purchased this device last month and I have had this problem from the start.

Again, which plan do you have, exactly? http://www.truemove-...freetosurf.aspx I assume it's all topped up?

Which aircard do you have? http://www.truemove-h.com/aircard.aspx

Does it disconnect during usage? Or during idle times? Are you perhaps on the extreme, outer edge of coverage?

I could understand that they might close idle connections in order to manage bandwidth, but that it should re-connect automagically as soon as you make a network request.

I also have the same problem I am on a postpay contract using their aircard E173, and avery 3 hours it disconnects even if downloading or listening to the BBC, I just allow for this problem.
