Dreams contra reality. Calculations how much material would be needed to fulfil those electric dreams. And how much material there is available. Anything those 4 persons say is worth listening to.

Conversation with people who really know the facts around EVs and Hydrogen vehicles. Possibilities and limits. Take the time to listen.

I have built several small house extensions using 100 mm AAC blocks. A pump-house and a kitchen. No need for any posts. But do get a lintel above door and window. Doors and windows mounted with polyurethane spray foam, no need for mechanical fasteners. If you ever tried to break down a 100 mm AAC wall you realize how strong it is.....

Don't know about durian, but I see young trees trying to produce the first year not developing fruit. I think they are still too young and need to grow bigger before having enough energy to produce fruit. Jackfruit having only a few male flowers first year, then female also the next and producing.

They grow well here but look out for bugs on them. Mealy-bugs were very fond of mine when I was growing them. I gave up on them and use leuceana, gliricidia and samanea instead as shade-nitrogen fixers.

Just bought this. Haven't done much work with it yet. It feels solid. Just make sure you buy the 15 cells battery! I have the same battery for electric chainsaw and other machine. Same battery fittings as makita. I have almost totally stopped using cable machines now.

Cut grows with skilsaw at several points and glued rebar in. When pouring concrete and vibrating it well after walls are up it will bond together far better than thai way.

I built 3 houses with 20 cm Qcon blocks. Didn't use any concrete pillars except in corners. The top layer was two 7,5 cm blocks where I had rebar and concrete between. If building a one story light construction house it's possible to avoid all these pillars. I have concrete/rebar surrounding the house making it very strong construction.

Any polyurethan will be fine. Use well diluted for primer. then sand off the fibers that raise up before next layer. It can be brushed on thicker than most other varnishes when it is two part. But consider putting a third layer on, it will look so much better and create a better seal of the wood.

Heavy use of chemical fertilizers and sprays will kill off soil life and reduce worms and other life forms. Earth worms need humus content, decomposing plant matter that they feed on. By using compost and mulch you will add what worms need and they will come back again. The habit of burning everything instead of returning plant matter to the soil is a bad thing in Thailand.

I'd say it depends on the thickness of the present concrete floor. If it will allow the point load of columns. Thickness of concrete slab, and if there is rebars in it.

I would get stainless rivets. Doubt steel will last very long together with aluminium in this climate. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/m3-m4-m5-m6-m8-m10-m12-stainless-steel-rivet-nut-10-tss-i3762151511-s14286850538.html?

I have similar result. Newer trees that just got up to production does very well this year. Both larger European type and smaller Thai variety. Seems it's important where they grow. In some spots they just aren't happy.
