With my system here as I previously said, it generates an average excess of around 8 to 17 units a day depending....... I cannot justify installing a AU$20,000.00 battery system for this, never get anywhere near it. Best I can do though is what I already do, and that is to use excess during the day ...

Knew a bloke who came up with a way to drive from Brisbane to Cairns (1700klm) for 2 cents.

Drawback was the cost of the extension lead and the bulk of the rewind spool.

Remember a similar event in a movie.......woman choked to death, bloke died of head injuries (both ends)

And of course the money charged for the bags you use will go to it's rightful place. Yeah....wouldn't hold my breath, especially in Thailand. Coles in Aus currently in the cattle dip from failing to pass the " badly needed by dairy farmers" all of the extra 10c they were charging customers for droug...

Just fitted a wired 8 camera system to the house in Khon Kaen. Bit over AU$200 for the lot with a 1gig drive included, use a similar one here in Aus for last 4 years no problem. Cannot see the point in wireless camera as one still has to get power cabling to each camera point. Internet accessible, w...

as a biker of some 50yrs, I wondered how the foreigner dude met his fate. I noticed the other day fanging along there on me old Phantom, that the road, or road surface has been build in two parts..concrete..and over the years a lip has formed in the middle of the carriageway , as I hit that with me...

I looked at solar for our place near Khon Kaen but cost is prohibitive. To be useful the system would need to be battery backup as in Glalt system. Down in Aus, we get Gov. concession and the AU$12,000 22 panel 5Kw cost me a bit over $4,000. This plus I had to upgrade my switchboard but, being an el...

Received an email saying their policy for Aussie checked in luggage has been changed back from 20kg to 30kg.
Great but only if you bought a ticket after August sometime.
Fair enough I guess as May purchase was pretty good value.

I think you better off not knowing

Plenty of different electronic devices around like in the link below...

Build a small fire over the top and burn 'em out. If the fire has enough staying power it'll usually smoulder it's way through the roots as well. Good one bluejets. A tried and true method, you must be a farm boy. Can’t believe maaka didn’t pull that one out of his kiwi bag of tricks. Sent from my ...

Interesting post blue But I disagree with you completely. The same size and construction of every appliance here in Thailand using a FLAT blade plug is no different than 3 prong flat blade plug pictured earlier. I've been using those same flat blade with a ground pin plugs on every extension cord I...

The 3 pin plug and socket in the picture are only rated for 125 volts. I saw them at Dohome and asked them to remove them as they are dangerous. Yes an ELCB or GFI are a must for safety. Look at how many people die using chargers for phones that fail. To be exact they have a number of 15A 125V stam...

So I stand by my statement that 2 pin and socket extensions on 2 core cable are perfectly safe and acceptable. Just goes to show you know nothing about electrical application. No, it just goes to show that you should read and understand before making assumptions. The first thing that most would do ...

It seems that all the big places like Global House sell some quality cords in different lengths, but all are really 2 wire, even though they will accept 3 wire plugs. I have made some, but just not the same. Hmm, seems that everything electric I buy here in Udon has a 2 prong plug. lawn mower, hedg...

I admit that I know nothing about electrical wiring. However, if you have a three pin plug with a three core wire doesn't the three hole socket in the wall actually have to have a wire leading to earth for the thing to be safe? :? If the main socket isn't correctly earthed then a three wire extensi...

So I stand by my statement that 2 pin and socket extensions on 2 core cable are perfectly safe and acceptable. Just goes to show you know nothing about electrical application. The first thing that most would do presented with a 2 core cable/plug socket arrangement would be to cut or remove the eart...

Nothing wrong with an extension with 2 core cable, as long as there is a 2 pin plug and 2 pin socket.

Well, actually there is.
As I pointed out ,only single insulation.

The small village shop near where I live has several different sizes of three wire cable and the grounded three prong plugs. I make mine to what ever length I want. Those cheap ones you buy with a three prong plug and receptacle that use two wire cable should be illegal. Many items one buys these d...

Have you thought about asking whomever is about to do the RAC install...?

Chances are they may use a particular chap regularly.
