Evidently a Puzzle, or maybe a Riddle, as it most certainly is not a Joke.

But the outside lights were easier to get at.

This is what the patio door looks like when open, note how it folds against the wall leaving a totally unobstructed opening. The price you pay for this is the 20 bolts you have to unlock in order to open it

Should be fun, we need more construction threads

Have you had construction drawings done or are you relying on your contractor?

Don't forget to get your building permit before doing anything (you'll need at least outline construction drawings for that depending upon the local Amphur's requirements).

Is there an attic space below that flat roof? How do you intend insulating it?

There is no BK or Maccers in Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantysiliogogoch, nearest BK is in Bangor, at least Maccers has one on the island in Holyhead

But of course everyone knew that but nobody else was crass enough to mention it

Nascom I followed by a Nascom II then I was one of the mad fools who bought a Memotech MTX512 http://en.wikipedia....ki/Memotech_MTX , a great machine with an in-line Z80 assembler for those time-critical routines. Sadly very poorly supported.

Some year later I bought a real IBM PC-XT at an auction.
