Thanks, Today is the last day of painting. Only house cleaning tomorrow and they will be finished! It will be a GLORIOUS day!

Hey William, I lived in Washington a few years, albeit I was down around Pasco/Kennewick area. Let me know when you are in the Issan area, we'll figure something out. Thanks for watching.

Thanks what I said! lol

We have a few around the pond: bananas, guava, mango, papaya, lime, mulberry, and coconuts.

If referring to the short tree with normal sized coconuts, we have 3 near the pond that we planted 1.5 years ago. They were the first we planted.

About a 1-hour drive south of Sisaket city on hwy 2111. Khun Han would be the largest town, about 3 km out into the rice fields to our house.

I have the entire build from purchase/design through today in videos. Pretty much cover every piece of the build. Two playlists: Thaibuild 1 - purchase planning utilities, Thailbuild 2 - arrival in October through today.

Thanks Chris!

Sorry to hear that Mike. I think we got real lucky with our builder. We are two days from finished now, detail painting and a day of cleaning inside.

Thank DJ. We will continue videos until people lose interest, but obviously the content will start to change, after all the necessary little projects get completed. Appraciate you taking the time to watch our channel/ Stick around we will try to keep some interesting content. If nothing else, I can give you some head-shaken time!

My pleasure!

I have not seen any since I published that video. May have been seeing old tracks. I was planning on a 220v surprise for the urine stream if it continued. Don't like doing that but I can't have them pissing on my doorstep. Thanks Wayne

Many people here said the same thing. Several Fox Palms and a few filler trees are in the plan. Maybe a small shop later on.

@@ParadiseNThailand maybe papaya, banana or other fruit trees?

Can remove, just not easily.

Snake Grabber is now on my 2 Buy list! The wash equipment came with pedestals, and they are installed, just not very tall. Ping Pong Balls: ....and now I know! LOL

Thanks, we did it three days ago, all went well, and we are almost done!

Thanks, They clear-coated the slate about an hour ago, second coat tomorrow, and it looks nice. Thanks for watching.

I put that cart together and put it too work immediately. We had a nice one in the US and Sompit used it all the time, so when I suggested itt, the response was "Really, good!"

I use Off bug repellent when they show up!

เห็นงูในตลาดที่นี่ แต่ไม่เคยกินในประเทศไทย

Ahh yes, guess I had heard about those. The green tree snake was on my mind at the time. Thanks

Agree, but the most populus fish should be those black tilapia at 250 fry. We have harvested 30 at the most. They used to cruise around near the surface daily. With that, I would think he should have netted many more than he did. Plus, I just don't see them during feeding like I did in the past. Hope I'm wrong.

@@ParadiseNThailand. Hello Kenny, I’ve noticed the same with our fish, planted 1500 3 different species and until recently you couldn’t get the food in the water fast enough, not sure if it’s weather changes or what but I know we have no midnight fishermen. Take care

Remember, Sompit lived in the US for 7 years....with a dryer! LOL

@@ParadiseNThailand The habits of luxury!

I would assume it's simply considered an unnecessary cost to them.

@ParadiseNThailand but would speed up their time in work working hours , they are smart workers im sure they could build something.

The house build will end, but my feeble attempts at humor will live on!

Yes, I did not think about the green pit viper when I made that comment. two more days of paint a day of deep cleaning and it should be over with the exception of the ongoing leak!

Non venomous, call that one "The Boxcutter" teeth slash if tagging you.

That outdoor area was one of my "Must haves". Sompit really didn't want it, but I told her it was needed for those really smelly, or spicey cooking events.

I will be glad when this is over, and I'm in Thailand. Looking forward to retirement.

Thanks Chris, Two more days of painting, and a day of good cleaning, and it will be finished!

Hello Terrence

Morning Dave

i had considered that, Th electrician is scheduled to come back to finish the conduit at the pole. i will discuss options at that time. Thanks Johnny

I have considered this. The logistics of it is another thing. I think it is doable, but not sure how difficult it will be inside that box. If the individual breakers are same size replaceable, I think it is a simple fix. The electrician has to return to convert that UG conduit to the pole, I will talk to him, maybe even hire him to change it. Honestly, too much stuff going on lately to take the time to mind-boggle it. I have advised Duke of the situation, so he is aware. Thanks Swimmer!

Yes, that will be the content over the next few months as we settle into our retirement life here in Issan. We will definitely have a couple trips mixed in, but the priority will be converting Paradise into our personal serene bliss! Appreciate the support.

Yes, I believe you are correct. The overhang is about one inch. I will let the contractor exhaust his ideas, then I will intervene. Suggesting to tuck an "extension" under the edge of the panel. BTW, they are insulated metal panels, full 6mx1m sheets.

yes, but I did not have wifi here until a couple days ago, so now they are mobile.

Thanks Radley, will try to continue with the short clips jumping for subject to subject, because I know most people's attention span is about like mine, 30-60 seconds. We'll see how that works with day-to-day life.

Let me know when you're in the area, or I'm passing near you, and we will arrange a time and place for a cold one.

@ParadiseNThailand you're on sir, keep up the great work and the first cold Leo's on me. I wish you luck as you near completion and on your travels. See you at the end of the year.

63A main breaker has build-in 30 ma RCD, the red RCD window is activated when I say it is "tripping the ground fault", which i believe to be the same RCD/ground fault.

Yes, we will show our improvements as we continue to convert the property, as well as other parts of our life in rural Issan. Let me know when and we'll figure out a time n place for a cold one.

I will have a "ceremony day" video. But not so much ceremony as it is more of the preparation and clearing out.

BTW, we are in Phetchaburi

Not familiar with that rating system. Home One had tags on the "HD" rated tiles so that is what we went with. Duke was with us when we picked them, and he assured me they would be ok.....felt better about that (rolling eyes). Let me know when you're in the area, or I'm near you, catch a cold one.

Yes, those videos will fill the voids between travels. After this first trip we will come back and get the house and property to a point where I won't be worried about having a long todo list after travels.

I might try that on our coming Pattaya trip. Thanks Trent

Hello Terrence

Yes, did the blessing even though the painters are still not finished. They told us 3-4 days and we are now on day 10 with 2-3 more minimum. We stayed here last night because her family said it was "bad luck" if we did not after the ceremony. Not sure what we will do tonight. Thanks Steven

I don't have any TVs and hadn't really thought about getting one. I haven't watched more than 3 hours Tv since October 1, when we arrived in BKK. I have used music in the background but lately just too busy. edited that video last night and uploaded it for this morning. And yes, they told us they would be here 3-4 days, we are on day 10 today and still 2-3 days left minimum, which is why we were scheduling delivers. we have pushed back every delivery so far by 3 days and they still are not finished. sofa and bed coming today, so I had to push them yesterday to get the living room and bedroom 100%.

B5000 on Lazada, BSM brand. comes with 4m or gear rack but I needed 5.5m so ordered another 2m off Lazada. www.lazada.co.th/products/i4069039073-s15868234597.html?urlFlag=true&mp=1&tradePath=omItm&tradeOrderId=868236957404357&tradeOrderLineId=868236957504357&spm=spm%3Da2o42.order_details.item_title.1

Thanks for the quick reply.

@@johndecker9663 I try to keep a close eye on the comments to delete and ban TROLLS! LOL

No plan to do that, As long as people are interested, I will make videos. Thanks DB
