Great news that you will carry on with your channel, my mornings wouldn't be the same without watching your videos before heading off to work. I will be moving to Udon Thani at the end of the year with my wife and son so hope to catch a Leo with you some day. Many thanks and happy trails sir.
@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.
Morning Kenny and Sompit, almost there. Will we get to see some of your house ceremony? Nothing better than a good chanting 😊. I'm impressed with the quality of your videos, keep em coming.
There will probably be many more projects around paradise that would provide good content. Also, follow ups and things that you might have done differently is always very interesting. As you mentioned, there are many vloggers filming shopping and food prices in Siam. But those are usually in the tourist areas. Vlogging about non tourist areas still provides novel content.
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, 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.
My LG TV in the living room doubles as our camera monitor. Is that possible for you? As your "secret" post production assistant - you really needed some dramatic music dropped in while the gate was opening behind you. Come on Man! 🎶🎶🎶 As far as video topics, just wait till things around the home fall apart (hope not), and your list of "Gosh, why didn't I do that!" starts to grow. And you are spot on about all the tiresome travel videos out there. Why do you think mine are so short?😎 I have my money on the painters finishing two days past what they told you.
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%.
Kenny, I think you would be better off in the long run replacing that main disconnect ground fault with just a normal breaker and put GFCI breakers where you need them on the branch circuits. I think this will be more reliable and less frustrating to troubleshoot in the future. I have never seen a main disconnect GFCI in the US, I'll have to check into this. Having a disconnect at the pole would not be a bad thing if you have some way to secure it with a lockable cover.
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, 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
May I suggest mixing your content with rural everyday life with nature and local village life and trips into town also improvements on your property as you go along im sure there will be plenty of everyday events to inspire you.
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.
Kenny, are you still having leaking problems in the outdoor area? If the shingles are not overhanging the facia enough, surface tension could be drawing the water back up against the facia and under the shingles. If that's the case, extending the shingle overhang or a drip edge might help.
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.
A ground fault will trip the breaker no matter how much load you put on the system. Is it definitely a ground fault or over load? I'm assuming by ground fault you mean it is tripping the residual circuit device on your board? Do you have a main breaker with built in RCD protection or separate? it could also just be a faulty RCD device. Get the electrician to carry out an RCD ramp test to see if the device is ok, if ok you can then narrow it down by isolating the circuits. If it is only tripping when you start to put more load on the system it is either a faulty main switch possibly with a built in rcd device or it is simply over loading. You will have to check the rating of the main switch to upgrade it, you have to be careful of upgrading breakers due to cable sizes etc etc..
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.
The highways are so full on in Thailand , i set my Google maps to shortcuts, and in some places, it took me off them busy roads into country towns, absolutely beautiful mate .
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 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.

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

I for one would like to see what landscaping you will do - and if I can ever make it back to Thailand I would love to share a beer and a story or two

This is getting close to done. Being Friday now, you've probably had the monks over for the blessing and must be having fun. :) Enjoy your day.

Good Morning Guys looks great
Thanks Dave

The safety switch, may well be below standard, remember where it was probably made
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 might try that on our coming Pattaya trip. Thanks Trent
Are your camera's linked to your mobile phone
yes, but I did not have wifi here until a couple days ago, so now they are mobile.
hi kenny
Hello Terrence
Question. How much did you have to pay for the gate motor?
Could you share brand, specs and where you bought all the parts?
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
i hope u not close your Chanel
No plan to do that, As long as people are interested, I will make videos. Thanks DB
Agree Kenny, too much rinse & repeat vloggers filling face and dashcam edit. You guys are an end to end watch👋
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.
