LOOKING FOR A JACK OF ALL TRADES MECHANIC 👨‍🔧 .... 😂 

We live in the Hua Hin area of Thailand and can’t seem to find a reliable mechanic 🧰!! Every time we make an appointment, they never show. This area keeps having problems with water 💦 and I wanna have the pump checked because the landlords your typical scumbag that throws repairs off on the tenant— 🤷🏾‍♂️ Can anyone recommend a person who charges reasonably?

(Synopsis of problem just in case):

My best guess about the pump is, when we asked the mechanic to make it possible for us to switch between city and we’ll water when we first moved in 2yrs ago, that he may have cut the line to the well so when the city’s off, we’re off too. 

The pumps only been good for creating better water flow /pressure, but does absolutely nothing for making water when the city turns off theirs leaving us high and dry with kids— 😤 It appears we have a well under the house 🏡.

Thank you and cheers 🍻

Might be good if you can to make a drawing of your system or get photos and mark pipes with which way water is flowing.

Ditto!! That makes 2 of us. However, I can’t understand the problem with the frequent water shutdowns or the lack of enthusiasm in workers here. Never had this prob any place else I’ve lived in TH— oh well 🤷🏾‍♂️ TIT 😂
