Thread: Show us your bodgy DIY

^ They'll probably sell it to the next guy in the hope he doesn't notice.

^^I avoid discounted stuff in Thailand these days.

It seems it's most likely discounted because it should be binned.

I'm training to become a Thai electrician.

Due to a 'misunderstanding' a contractor with a 100,000 baht contract installed fans on the outside rather than inside a school in Roi Et province.

Based on the selection of external wall colours on our street there must be such bins.

The Mexicans of south East Asia?

Nope, it's missing a rubber skirt

My DIY attempts on the circuit board of my 691 litres monster fridge were unsuccessful so down the stairs it had to go.

153kg of monster fridge vs 72kg of Looper

Took the fridge doors off as the fridge (88cm deep from back to handles) would not fit through the house door so call it 140kg

I might get a job with BLD at this rate

can't you just pay a take away and recycle charge when you buy your new one?

^ i'd imagine there'll be a couple of dead foreign prostitutes entombed in that fukker soon

What do you think he is, a Thai Visa moderator?

The abandoned swings, standing prairie dog statuette gazing through the window, and aged kid's spring horse do add a touch of True Detective to the setting.

Anyway, wife is happy, kids not so much because they will be showering in the the back yard.while the grout and glue sets. Plumber $250 handyman $200 it is what it is,

He lives in Chernobyl

Pripyat....


Yes, I thought of that and went with TD instead.

Still rate the fooker as having the best life setup of any poster on here.

It is a bit complicated Mike

I have 4 fridges in the big shed from when I de-furniturised my rentals when covid killed off all the over-seas students

When the monster fridge died I replaced it with one of the student fridges (no Reg there are no missing students inside the 4 student fridges!)

So disposing of teh old fridge is my responsibility

Walked the old monster fridge 200m along the driveway to the big shed today and bruised up my biceps good and proper. I need some technique tips from BLD

Now that you mention it the silent childless swings and playpark do have a spooky Chernobylesque aspect although I use the swing frame for pull-ups and I occasionally partake of the springy-frog just for fun!

Not for long. I have plans for later this year.

Does a week go by without you mentioning this?

As if anyone gives a toss.

We all have heroes.


That said, the competition is a Brummie bus driver, a gloomy Khorat gorilla, a Seattle garbageman, and another Ozzy that would suck the fun out of a lottery winning playboy orgy, so perhaps not a position that's difficult to attain.

3 if you cut them up correctly.

A few more if you go the de-boning route.
