  1. While a joint account is not acceptable to immigration ,you can still add your wife as signing partner I've done exactly that for Non O funds as well as the foreign deposit accounts in 3 different banks
  2. Can't understand why people insist on putting there houses up on posts and not using any sway braces Just an accident waiting to happen
  3. Paddy other side of perimeter wall Nice cool breeze most of the time No bugs to speak of Lot of frogs when its flooded-love the sound Only negative effect is the rat population after the harvest tends to move a lot Cats and dogs and owls take care of that
  4. blood sugar IS controllable with proper diet. I no longer require medication to control mine I also experienced neuropothy in the past and found a herbal mix that effectively reversed the symptoms (once the blood sugar is under control) i took daily doses of- Vit B 12 Passion flower Prickly pear cactus Cordydalis and angelica All are available online from PipingRock at reasonable cost Took about a month to produce noticeable results,but now just take occasional maintenance doses
  5. Just pick the lumber you need a little oversized and use a planer to smooth it to your satisfaction (electric planes are CHEAP here) 2x2's are actual dimension here ,so lots of room for processing " Mai dang " is inexpensive and lasts, but you want all red- not the white heartwood If its outdoor use be sure to treat for termites or it'll be done for in a year or less
  6. Generally possible to get great fries from Thai spuds Local green grocer now carry's the unwashed spuds in a box-large size brown skin Fried up a big batch last nite in sunflower oil Took a while to cook but came out nice and brown and crispy A step up from the usual washed potatoes we usually get in plastic bags
  7. Waterlogged Even with check valve and bladder tank our pump gets waterlogged and cycles way to often about once a month Shut off the pump and water supply and fully drain it by removing both bottom and top plugs Re-assemble and problem solved Total job only takes 10 minutes now I'm used to doing it
  8. We had a Chinese neighbor- liked karaoke all night long What caterwauling Waited till they finally stopped one morning and set up all my speakers Played a combination of vomiting and cat fights at max volume They soon got the hint
  9. Not bad-only took 3 hours to re-wire main panel-install new ground rod and cable and change polarity on sub-panel Like always -hardest part was trying to get enough wire to do the changeover Not a spare inch on wires and everything stapled to the wall
  10. Unfortunately the last slot in the panel will be taken by sub-panel,so ordered a few replacement protected nreakers What surge protector do you recommend for protecting technology outlets? Getting early start-don't know how long it'll take to do elect repairs today-so powers going off shortly
  11. Guess thats the way I'll go then-install individual protected breakers Protect the showers mainly outside plugs are all sheltered in any case Probably a good idea to protect the fish pond as well Never had grounded circuits initially- done 30 years ago Only grounded my electronics and some appliances after the fact Thats why I thought I'd run grounded circuits and proper 3 prong outlets,at least to critical items We seem to get a lot of power spikes up here in the north Any suggestions on protection?
  12. No worries-have a main shutoff before the panel so I can shut off all power Not having any luck sourcing the 100 Amp RCBO in square D Any idea who carries this? And THANKS your knowledge is well appreciated
