[Cable brands - big differences?]

Which are the best and which should be avoided?

I seem to remember another thread saying that not all of the 1.5 and 2.5... cable sizes are actually that size, as differ slightly between brands.

What does the cable feed?

 

The circuit has 2 sockets and the AC on it. The first socket has a floor fan. The other socket is in the car port and is rarely used. The AC is a Mitsubishi inverter rated at 6.8 amps. I guess the 10 amp breaker is adequate. Thanks.

[Breaker size]

I have removed the AC Power connection from the main incoming cable and ran a new dedicated 2.5mm circuit from the consumer unit.  The only free breaker was a 10 amp and so far it hasn't tripped. Should i change it to a 20 amp?

To answer my own question, Base A is ready mixed white paint. Bases B-D need to be mixed before use.

[Carburetor, cleaners?]

Are there any carburetor cleaning additives that I could add to my gasoline to clean the gunk out of my carburetor, recommendations are appreciate it.

No. Manually spraying the throttle valve and venturi with carb cleaner will yield the best results. If the inside is dirty from standing for a long time remove the float bowl and clean it out. 

Replacement carbs are available on Lazada.

[Paint Base A-B-C-D]

I'm looking online for white paint, but nearly every tin is labelled Base A-D. I would like semi gloss in white interior and exterior. Is that Base A?

Interesting. My photo shows that I have grown!

[My landlord will not complete TM30!! What do I do?]

I had a similar situation. I just used a friend's house details and ID and registered myself there. Although, it could cause a problem if you are on a marriage visa and get an immigration visit.

Deestone are a good tyre made in Thailand so very affordable.

I put a set of Deestones on a Honda Jazz a few years back. Although they were quieter and smoother than the set that I took off, they rolled and lacked grip in the corners.

Always entertaining to read about the hassle to get a residence certificate at some offices

Actually, I forgot to add a residence certificate to the list. That only took about 30 minutes and they did not care that I had not submitted a 90 day report yet.

[Got my yellow book and ID card today]

I went into the Amphur Office 2 weeks ago and asked what I needed. They told me to come back on the 20th July with the following things:

 

Certified copy of passport

Marriage Certificate

Wife's ID card

Tabien Barn

4 passport size pictures

Wife

1 friend (witness)

1 Pu yai baan

 

I arrived at 9 am today. They collected my docs and interviewed my wife, then me, and finally my friend. They asked about time spent in Thailand, education, where I have worked, and how I met my wife. This was conducted in Thai, and all of the details were put onto a word document. After signing several forms, I got my yellow book at 10:30 and my ID card at 11am. Easy!

But you and also leave it the way that it is, It does not look great but it is in the back and no one will see it. I don't think you will have a problem with the  cement. that is at an angle under the existing gutter. . you are going to render the wall anyway, You are not going to leave the AAC block uncovered? remember AAC block is very porous . Use a good waterproofing paint at least in the area of concern . And if in the future you have a problem (I don't think you will) you can tear that section out then and do the roof extension. Good luck. PM me if you have any questions  

Water will run down and seep between the guttering and the cement render. It may not be today, but it sure will in the future and then the kitchen will be wet. The only real solution, to ensure no leaks, is to extend the roof and put the guttering on the outside of the wall.

Dont know what a standard concrete sheet is as par as roofs go, a picture would help for more precise instructions.

From photo it appears wall is against boundary divider wall with no setback (which is illegal most places if you do not own adjoining property) and any extension of roof would actually be onto adjoining property.  But hope I am wrong as photo is not clear but appears to show open border wall cement blocks at bottom.

Yes,it's a boundary wall.Moving the guttering will not make it overhang the adjoining property too much. Anyway, my neighbour is very nice and will not object if it overhangs abit.

Remove the gutter, extend the roof , and the build up to it. Easy to do depending on the kind of roof you have. 

Not sure what kind of roof you have. Can you post a picture? 

It's the standard concrete sheets about 3 foot long per piece. They only need to extend about 8 inches, then block up to it and reattach the guttering. Easy! I tell them what I want, but they don't listen. They are off today and Friday, but i call them back later to discuss this terrible work.

tell me you didn't pay for that ? 

Not paid yet, as it is not finished. But, i will tell to remove the guttering, extend the roof panels and block up to the roof sheets. Then guttering can be reattached. If they don't want to do it, they can go!

[Builders Again!]

Told them to remove the fiber board and block up the hole. You will need to move the guttering out! Yes, I can do it was the reply. I think they intend to render up to the fold in the guttering, but I'm sure it is going to leak!

Putting down cardboard or a bedsheet yourself was too much trouble for you?

I have given them cardboard and put it down on the floor where they are working, but I cannot follow them around and watch them all of the time.

[Builder scratched my floor tiles]

I'm having some block work done and I am keeping my eye on the workers. I have told them to put cardboard on the floor to protect the tiles. However, I just noticed they stacked the concrete blocks on the floor and scratched the tiles!

You see this where people like you become part of the problem by allowing these guys to run around unchecked. He gets away with it once or twice, Thai mentality, it becomes the ' normal ' and if you don't like the response from the customer, get violent.

I agree. Also, foreigners that give a tip also add to the mentality that a higher price should be paid.

But the signal can obviously be "wrong". And that is what you don't see with a multimeter. 

Thanks. The square wave is a % duty cycle and that is what the alternator uses to determine the output charging rate. I don't really want to but a oscilloscope to diagnose this problem.
