So yesterday whilst wading through our lawn, I said "OK with such a lack of gardening services in Korat, I will do it myself. Never mind the 41 degree temperatures" so I set off strimming the edges and difficult places. After about 20 minutes the strimmer died. Not the batteries which were fully charged, the motor had overheated and cut out. Tried reviving it but it was dead. Had to go out and buy a new one. This new house is costing me greatly!

On re reading your message, it is not the lovely grey one we are getting rid of it is the townhouse we moved from. Sorry for any confusion.

Thanks nightman, much appreciated.

I am mid way in redecorating inside. It is at Rung Arun Village just behind Hoepro opposite Lotus in Huathalae. Providing an agreement on price can be reached we will throw in a new us style fridge, quality master bedroom furniture from Major, a TV washing machine (front loader) gas hob. Water filters, pump, italian sofa the list is huge. How about I send you a few photos? Cheers Tim

Thank you very much. It was a dream that Mrs TT and I had. Reality was more expensive than the dream and now we are stuck with a lovely town house, fully westernised and beautifully decorated that we are trying to shift.

Thanks @the force, have done as suggested. Much appreciated. Khun PP I will ask Mrs TT to get her lad to get in touch. Now the problem, how do we do that?

Not half bad / pretty good (attached the Thai kitchen and the secondary roofing)

Hi khun PP. My wife's son did our extension and roofing and did a nit half bad job of it too. He doesn't speak our tongue so you would have to go through (sorry) Mrs PP but his work was quick and,from what I can see, pretty good quality certainly comparable to the UK. Let me know if it is of interest and I will see how busy he is. He lives in chock chai as does most of his team. He was deeply involved in the suratnaree development but does smaller jobs too. I found his prices were not bad either

Maybe we could get him by asking him to call Mrs TT?

Sorry, for some reason my phone only loaded your initial post, the following three pages did not appear. Time to change the dog and bone methinks.

Wish I could help oldchum but I don't have Facebook, by choice. I will, however, keep an eye open as well as monitoring this subject so I am prepared when mine gets close to expiring.

What the Deep Purple album? That was great!

I have to admit that as a farang I try to order my coffee in fluent Thai. Mrs TT says it is correct but the look on the face of ghe girls face tells me she has no clue. They generally turn to Mrs TT and try to converse with her which irritates me greatly. I have on occasion asked the girls colleagues if she is Thai and understands Thai, in Thai. Seems to do the trick.

Superb bass line (I play the bass) but you could add Pigs, what do you want from me and sheep
