This thing looks really tasty! Anyone pre-ordered one? Leap motion controller

Got the house up for sale.  A 15 year old house on 1 rai. Farang and Thai wife show up and look the place over.  Called back today and asked for a reduction of 10% below our "last price" (Thats all he can borrow).  Expected that, but here's the jaw dropper.

He want's us to guarantee everything about the house for 10 years.

Need 1 m fill for a 2 ngan plot about 2 km north of downtown and 1 km east of RR tracks.  Queries are suggesting a short supply & high prices with all the new projects going on there.

I want a ~ 1 m crawl space, would it be better to build 2 m high and fill 1 m after the fact and pour ground slab under house when driveway is poured?

Went to Korat last Thursday for 90 day report.  I didn't realize Wednesday had been a holiday -- and  Korat has apparently stopped doing their "outreach" to some other provinces. So the place was crowded / packed .. many folks sitting standing outside. And it was hot!

My que number was 8 places back.

Things were really slow as one farang and one Asian took a que number for 90 day reports when the were doing renewals. Both had problems that took a long time to resolve.  Also a really unkempt french guy with his apparent hired squeeze was walking around drinking beer.

Then along comes a "really damned important" farang, parked his diesel pickup smack dab in front of the entry stairs, left the engine running .. heat radiating, exhausting fumes. Did I mention how hot it was?

All in all, more than 1 hour with a pre-filled form to do a 90 day.

Why, oh why?

I think it was 'kamalabob' who first alerted me to this.

I plan to do some serious looking and brain-picking.

Anyone planning to attend?
