Guys,

Need to urgently get this! Where do buy one? I live near Binh Thanh area.

Thanks in advance?

Regards
Mike

..don't want to seem pedantic, but (depending on desperation) I use shower curtains or long window curtains on a length of rope.  Hooks screwed into the walls provide anchors and the resulting holes can be easily refilled with instant plaster repair.     Hope this helps.

Gents,

Thanks for your replies...I used PVC pipes to make one.

Good News!   ..we have yet another lateral thinker...     


..or in this case, maybe valid as vertical..?              :one

Just think what could have been achieved if PVC pipe had been available when they built the pyramids........

With you in charge of construction, who knows..?   .. but you as a plastic person..?   

Somehow the picture has no appeal.         :/

I'm not a construction engineer, I'm an explosives engineer. They put em up and I knock em down. Haven't done any building demolition worker years though.

Doesn't matter Mike.  You are (now) a DIY person.   Proof enough for us...      :top:

MikeFF

There you go... :D

Mike's Fast Fabrications.  Excellent!   You're hired!   ..now all you need do is work 24/7 x 363 days...   (for peanuts)   ..but (eventually) you will be rich & famous.   Trust us!!       :whistle:

Ah, but you have spent a significant part of your life in repairing the damage done.   Without delving into Derrida's deconstruction, an engine is a driving force, even avoiding the (B) eer.   Besides, you prefer the Motive of Worth, Malt Whisky.    We all admire your part in providing part of the solution.                        Definitely not a Clayton's construction...

But getting back to the plastic problem, (if used) we can safely posit the Pyramids would have been recycled long ago.  A stairway to Heaven with PVC might be equally invalid.

So we must admire Mike's creativity and pragmatic use of a material too common to ignore.  I fully expect he is too wise to accept my offer of fame and vast riches.   
Hell, he might even start his own business...                      :sosad:

I'm leaving VN in April, been here for the last 2.5 years.
There is nothing here that is worth my time or effort....Can't stand it anymore!

Damn; another good one gets away...                :mad:
