Mind-boggling how hard they are though. One and gone for me.

Yes, and I would have but that piece they were splitting is as big as it got. The tree had been hit by lightning at least three times and was severely burnt, the remaining base was left crescent shaped with only the thickness in the video supporting the tree when it came down.

Too many dialects here. Seems every village has its own version of Thai and our village is suay... or something like that. A blend of Cambodian and Thai.

I am sure smaller pieces could be salvaged, but not sure what they had planned with it.

I am told it is dypsis lutescens. I think the Thai's refer to them as "yellow palms": www.nbatat.com/dypsis-lutescens/

@ParadiseNThailand thanks

i was there to make sure they did not! lol

Yes, I still don't know what kind of tree it was, other than hard.

No, I do not. I mentioned it is the same as the one in the distance, so was hoping someone would tell us.

The cases are sealed on broke when I tried to open one.

Self-transferred?

@ i learned that from paullee 3rdworld ep

Which is why it surprised me that it took so long for someone to collect it. It was severely burnt from the known 3 lightning strikes, causing the base to be crescent shaped. I originally hoped to save a slice out of it to use as a desk base, but had no means to cut it, so decided to let someone to take it for the fee of cutting/removal. No takers so I ended up PAYING a nephew to cut remove the whole thing just to make it go away. He got all but this piece, but after two days he gave up on it. I just wanted it gone.

Yes, and a bit longer bar would have made a significant difference as well.

No, did not ask. This wood is valuable but not sure of the value of this piece as it was severely burnt and no large dimensions left to it. Sompit did not know when I asked her.

Hey Richie, Thanks for watching our videos. I have videos on bringing in our electric and well drilling in the "Thai Housebuild 1" playlist if you have an interest. In fact, our entire build is on two playlists (Housebuild 1 & 2) starting with purchase thru move-in. Again, Thanks for watching, Kenny @ PnT

Yes, but I just wanted it gone! Most of it was burnt form lightning strikes.

I did not realize that it could all be one source with multiple vendors. It makes sense, though.

If it had foliage it would be ok, but won't be anything by that time, so yes, it might get ugly!

Had not considered that but we will install saturation rings, similar to our septic rings, only smaller. If they do not keep up, then we could add an overflow into the pond if we think we need it. Thanks

You may be right on the soil. I did not ask. You will see in the next video what happened to the stump. Suspenseful, I know, lol.

@ParadiseNThailand I'm on the edge of seat, can't wait to be stumped 😀

Thanks Steven

Yes, the dirt pile paralleling the fence would have been better than what I did also, but that didn't happen. I need the exercise anyhow! Done now, so on to next phase.

Your place is coming along nicely and should hit your deadline if no issues arise. When are you headed back to UK!

@@ParadiseNThailand HI kenny and Sompit Yep big progress this week Not booked flights yet but it will be around 25th/26th March lets keep everything crossed mate to finish Phase one Cheers Gary and Mon😎

Released in '79 so I was 15 y/o.....and yes, best album ever!

There child hood home was demolition a few weeks ago😮

@ Ha. I thought it was 1978 when released. Anyway you are 3 years older than me and I hope to see you in 2 years when I turn 60 and retire to Udon or thereabouts

@@Michael-u5o4q I had not heard that, but don't follow much news, other than US markets.

Thanks Mr. Don!

Ill be trying that since the poison did not work.

I need to get rid of it no matter what, don't need my concrete falling into a hole.

Chunkin junkie!

I still need to learn to say it in Thai!

Hey, Thanks again Charles. Hope to visit Loas again sometime in the next couple years.

Thanks Charles and you're welcome. Sometimes I catch flak on YT for being honest and showing how I really feal, but I think it is the right way to do this! Life in Paradise is not always paradise, lol.

In the past videos I would say, everything is fluid, meaning everything is subject to change. But that doesn't mean I have to like it! Deal with it and move on. Thanks for watching and commenting Charles

Thanks Rex, this is our real life. I want to share the good, and sometimes the bad. Life in paradise isn't always paradise.

Thanks Johnny, life isn't always roses, sometimes it's Guns & Roses!

With the water softener I get zero hardness when testing and, as a result, minimal scaling so far. coincidently, I just added two bags of salt this morning to make sure I continue to maintain soft water. I would suggest a softener, but it really depends on the water in your area. Drill and test, then decide, would be my suggestion. I aways ran softeners in the US, so it was normal for me to install one, but now I will be buying salt the rest of my life!

I was ok until I saw them taking the fence down without talking to me first. You are right, relax.......

They have a "foot" on them so they would need to be dug up. You will see in the next video the bases are now quite deep. Two years ago, they are only $2 ea with free delivery and I only need 15 so not worth the work, for me.

Done "for" me, or "to" me? lol.

It's always something. In hindsight, I think there was a miscommunication/translation that led to the fence removal attempt.

Thanks for watching Joe!

...like spelling HELP in big letters!

@@ParadiseNThailand LOL!

We have found all but one, and that one we know has already been jeopardized. The center marker for the road is on the far SIDE of the road, meaning half the road is in our property. Just yesterday I noticed that marker is now missing. We asked for a marker search two years ago but they didn't seem to care.

Hello 👋🏻 Kenny the floor is looking good / what you are using for plushing looks little like a plushing mope / enjoyable video with good camera work for me mate Mr Don Australia 🦘

I'm working on it, not easy to let go, lol.

@@ParadiseNThailand Kenny. You’re the boss. Do what you want done

@@toddhendley67 True, except "you're" is spelled "S-H-E", LOL

@ True. I miss those times

Thanks Steven, the projects never end.

Yep, my teen years at Curry's. Looking back, it was a pretty good time of life although, it didn't seem like it at the time.

@@ParadiseNThailand I'm still driving a silage truck and making feed piles..lol.

Gracias y gracias por ver nuestros videos

The projects will never end, lol

@@ParadiseNThailand The problem is Kenny I think you are like me can't sit still always doing something🤣 I need to be busy I have the attention span of an Ant

The dirt project slowed me down a bit. Almost finished with the main room now and the polisher is here. Now, I need to track down some compound.

I think she said B800,000 and it is used. I thought that was a bit high but only know what I see on FB Marketplace. Not sure how much size affects the price on the Kabota. At least, I have access to one now if really needed!

Seriously, you're not going to talk dirty to me?
