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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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?
-
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

Thought so-its wired backwards
Live's on left neutral on right
Verified with multi-meter from each lead to ground
Never really looked at it till recently-job done by local electrician in my absence many years ago
Sub-panel only needs 30 amp -only real draw is on aircon and fridge

Now retired and quite happy to start the hobby's I never had time for in the past
Built a wood lathe and practice turning
Started wood carving both large and small
Couldn't get proper tools for carving so built a forge to make my own
With that and the garden and orchard,never a dull moment

hers what I thought I'd install for neutral bar

Have a OLD main panel that I'd like to upograde
Looks like only a ground bar at top
I'd like to install a new neutral bar and run some new wire for proper grounded plugs
Presently they have live main feed connected to left of 100 Amp breaker and neutral connected to the right
In a proper install with new neutral bar can I assume the proper connection would be main neutral lead to neutral bar and single live feed to main breaker
If I run a sub-panel can I take " live" from other side of main 100 Amp breaker and neutral from new neutral bar?
With live on one side of 100 amp breaker will the other side be "live" as well ?

I prefer pickled with dash of cloves and allspice for flavor
Also makes a difference what type of vinegar you use (I have lots of options as I make my own vinegar's)
Try BBQ beets-either straight on the grill or wrapped in foil
Beet greens are a great vegetable dish steamed or blanched
Also there easy to grow
I usually dedicate at least one garden bed to just beets

You were correct-the polarity at sub-panel was reversed
Fixed now and no more ghost lights
Thanks again
Much appreciated

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction
kinda had me stumped
Tomorrow will verify polarity at both panels and correct if necessary
Nice to have knowledgeable folks around for assistance-much appreciated
Your right about the ground fault-I've been too complacent
Sort of if-it aint- broke attitude-may as well do a proper job if I'm in there
LOL-even the overhead lighting is risky
Had a mouse chew the wire and it shorted to the ceiling grid
Melted the support wire and 3 rows of panels fell on the ground
Sure woke me up fast
