Very much appreciated Stroppy. The wait will bring rain and somewhat soften an old man's hard work.

Isn't there a healthy, strong young man around your house? Just needs some supervising! Try the Tom Sawyer routine on him... nope, you can't do this, it's too much fun!

A pleasant as well as a kind thought Jamie. However I envision us at the bottom of a hole half way to hell asking each other three questions.

1. How did we get here?
2. How do we get out? and
3. Ya got the fuckin bottle?

I do agree with that, too easy to have a few beers here. :beer3:
Also, it’s difficult finding a good local worker in many ways. Getting the job done and so on. Gathering info at the time to hand dig half a meter hole was 3000riel. I bought one of these a few years ago for $120 will come with different bore tools. helps a lot and saves you back aching. I give it to the Khmer who worked with me after the job was done, hoping he would get more work, and he would not have to graft too hard digging by hand.

Yeah, Stroppy, as it happens I have a 15 year old strapping lad, who unfortunately has read Mark Twain. Not only that, but I come in a poor second on the chores list, preceded by gramps, who has promised him a moto. When you marry into a Khmer family, you not only marry the whole "f" ing family, you lose your hired help as well.

Taa, try Australian Factory Seconds on 016 753 078 / 011 541 505 / 097 303 2494 Google Maps reference https://goo.gl/maps/Wk9YsyePkos

Also try Home Top on 023 999 808, they had some but people don't know if they currently have them. They're on MTT Boulevard.

Obviously, call each before coming to the city to confirm availability. I'll also have a look in Russian Market next time I'm there, but I honestly don't think there's any there.
