And encouraging people to purchase a bit of paint and high pressure washer. Pressure wash concrete facade of black mold and then some paint. Buildings seem to get painted when built then never touched again. Thais in the village look at me strange when the front wall got painted again after 5 years. I guess they think it is wasting money because no idea of maintenance.

 

You ever washed a balcony in BKK? The problem with repainting is with in a year it is just the same again. It doesn't help that they don't use the best paint.

That's because 54% of the US annual federal discretionary budget is spent on the military (2016 figure, look it up on Google). The US is no doubt the most warmongering country in the history of the world, that for some reason seems to believe it's the world's moral police force and feels entitled to bomb or invade any country it pleases around the world. 54% of your budget blown on the military: that's simply insane! No wonder the rest of your country is crumbling!

That's the way it is.  Suck it up.  When the USA is out of power, there will be another doing the same thing.  History repeats itself.  You can count on that.

Gotta love the attention to doing the job right first time.  Amazing.  Here's another photo of a new install just done a couple of days ago by some contractors

doing an install for 3bb.  Telephone line in the way, no problem, don't bother moving it a little just run the power cables leaving the phone line right between.  Not as bad as your example but it leaves one wondering what is going on in the engineers head.
