Mae Sai 05/20/2010 Moving right along...

Things are moving right along.

The Thailand Army went into the UDD, Red Shirts, barricaded area and the demonstration is over. I don't what to get political as I'm an invited guest in this country but................ Call me at 1-714-586-9569, leave me a message and I'll call you back with my feelings on the subject.


The new re-modeling guys finished the bathroom this afternoon. YEA! We have already tested the fixtures but will wait until tomorrow to run the shower to be sure the grout is set.


For the 8" drain piping, we arranged to have the concrete broken, hauled away, the ditch dug and back filled after we install the pipe. The cost was a little high at 13,500 THB ($422 USD) but we needed to do it fast. They have worked two days and already had to replace the armature in the small jack hammer they are using. They are about half way.


We priced the impact hammer they are using and it cost 22,000 THB new. That means we are getting the breaking, digging, hauling and back filling of ditch for half the price of the jack hammer.


Tomorrow, the electrician will wire up the lights and switches for the bathroom and put a couple of plugs in for refrigerator and upstairs hallway.


The tile guy will start finishing the kitchen by setting the sink and plastering the inside of the tile cabinets. They are also going to change a couple of tile that the other tile guy put in upside down.


We think everything will work out alright so we can return to the USA in 11 days.

Remodeling is almost as fun as camping.
