Hello Wayan,
Looks like you have a lot of repairs and upgrades to be done may it all go smooth and in a speedy time frame and not to many disruptions! No more volcano worries now?

Any chance I can also get a copy of the basic video ? Good to keep in file so I can revert back to it when needed.

Have you considered using grid layout instead ? You only need one container set to grid and then you put all your elements inside. Making your grid layout is incredibly easy with SD3's ground breaking grid layout popup tool. Rows and columns are right there in front of you to visually see which makes it intuitive for the designer.

Once you apply a grid (which can be changed at different breakpoints) you just tell all the elements inside where to go. You can tell them to go to a named grid location on the screen, or use line placement, or mix both together. This also allows you to do something incredibly powerful such as overlapping elements easily.

I would learn grid layout because its better than rows and columns, or trying to do the math for flex layout with just containers.

Hi Ray
Next job on the list install plumbing. At the moment we don't have running water (except for the stream that comes from the mountain, which is running of course, but you know what I mean)

Western-style flushing toilet (ooooh luxury) a shower cubicle with proper shower head, instead of a bucket with holes punched in !!!

Washing pots in a proper sink instead of in a bucket,,, hehehe lots of work to drag ourselves into the 19th century,

I will let you know the location for the video when in place.

Grid doesn't work for Internet Explorer and considering Internet Explorer is the second largest browser used on the www, at 14% that's the possibility of having a lot of visitors not getting a good visual experience & possibly losing them.

So unless a site gets only a few visits with I.E then one really needs to make sure that they get as good a visual experience as Google, which calls for "fallback first" (with some flexing but mostly the old fashioned Block, inline margins padding etc) Internet Explorer 10,11 can cope with a few things flexed, providing the main container wrapper for elements is set to block.

I agree with Twinstream also about Grid, but only if you know that it's not going to drive too many visitors away.

So personally when one is starting to learn new things, I believe that learn the basic stuff, get to know your way around, what it can and cannot do, before tackling what I call the more advanced stuff. A bit like learning to ride a bicycle before jumping on a Kawasaki Ninja H2R

Thank you Wayan,
Much appreciated - sounds like really living off the grid for now, hope it won't take to long before you can stop with the bucket and actually have a working shower.
You are 12 hours ahead of us.

So you mean Wayan has got 12 hours to catch up with his 19th century shower?

He is really living off the grid hope Wayan has more than one bucket just in case. Would not want to go through what he is right now.

Hey guys just think of it like camping.

This is normal for where we are, rural living, etc

Sorry, couldn't get the video done yesterday, as there was too much noise going on. Will try again today.

Today they are also installing our first street light in the village (sponsored by me) Will take a photo when it is up. Monthly cost to me 2$ US ( equivalent.)

Wayan take your time more important to get living conditions up and running - always good to have light at night. Hope you get the roof fixed.
