    As spokesman for the "Life in Thailand" subscribers' association (South Thailand / Northern Upper Franconia division), I would like to share the results of the last general meeting in Ban Gluai.
    The members voted unanimously: We need more Anna in the videos!
    We hope our request is heard and wish you a nice Sunday,😅

    Hi ya, is it possible you can move both trees away from any water? 4metres or more, Avo Tree will grow massive and you'll lose lots of fruit as they will drop in the water. Both avo and citrus trees don't like wet feet. (I had a citrus & avo orchard)

    If you really need to know your land boundaries then look for the markers on each corner of your land.
    If they are midding you can pay the local land office to come out and put the markers in.

    I googled it how to mix concrete when I needed it.. generally the more cement you put in the stronger it will be, but for general purpose concrete it's 3 part of gravel, 2 part of sand and 1 part of cement.. so your mixture is a bit of an overkill for posts :D ..but, like you said, if it works it works haha.

    The 5 Ps,,,,Prior Preparation Prevents Pisspoor Performance.
    Quick google check will tell you how to mix cement ,,in ratios and wetness ,,,sorry mate but it’s far too wet and you needed sand ,
    The sand will bring down cost aswell as it’s cheaper,,
    I would have checked the title for boundary measurements. Especially before you put in the gate .
    Anyway a little too late now ,,but I bet you’d be more proud of yourself if you did it correctly.
    Those pups are looking great now that they are settled in.

    For CZcamsr you dont seem to use the site much to learn how to do these jobs you do, how very odd. Never seen just cement and stones in a mix before that is a new one but as long as it does the job im sure it will be fine.
    I saw a video on YT of this guy in USA made a driveway by just laying the cement bags on the road and then just kept spraying the full bags with water as they came and that was it job done. No mixing of any sand or gravel and that seemed to work so Im sure your posts will be fine

      you do not know Thai -dogs, no it's not a new breed - but they really eat everything and what he prepares for them is a damn good meal for the dogs. My dogs get similar and they are bloody healthy and strong for all the years - hence Balu got even 18 years old and was still very fit - until a car had been his fate...

      All dogs need calcium though. I used to prepare food for my dog here in the states and my vet told me that people making food at home almost never get in enough calcium. Especially for puppies growing new bones he should consider some bone meal. I understand how Thai s feed their dogs a one of my best friends is Thai woman who owns dogs.
