Khao Lak’s newest dive shop part 2

So I am going to keep adding a few pictures every couple of days for the development of our shop.


Here is the biggest, scariest part of our shop – the electrical…

This was built and designed by a group of deranged wombats. Seriously weird layout. With one switch in the back of the shop controlling the outside, while there is one in the front of the shop that controls the upstairs and four switches that do nothing, and several switches that only control other switches. Beyond that it’s all put together with cheap tape and spit. Well…

you will also note three cords that are left hanging there. That three different cords, live, ungrounded just dangling near each other.


Anyhow, on more joyous news…we have the front side of the shop out of beta, and ready to move on. There will be significant upgrades, so wait and see.

Here is Aom and her brother scrubbing the shit out of the front. I then had them bleach it to kill all the gunk. We are painting it next week.

Also the electrical guy comes, then air conditioning, then to government comes to see if the electric was done right (if you didn’t know, we don’t pay bribes, so this could be very interesting indeed).

It’s never as easy as it seems. But next week I start doing construction myself – building classroom, clinic and office upstairs.

And…still have equipment room to go!
