Off Grid – On Beach

Guys, time for celebration! The lease is signed, we are now proud inhabitants of our own ocean-front property on Otres Beach. These are very exciting times for us!

It’s not the biggest or fanciest place around, but we have what we need to get started! Three bungalows with bathroom & shower, a big loft to be used for extra living quarters and production, a kitchen, a bar, plenty of space for creative meetings, workshops and relaxation, furniture and cooking equipment, not to mention 40 sqm of empty land in the back.

We’ve been on site all day making plans in the sun! There is some work to be done before everything’s just the way we want it, here are some pictures of what it looks like at the moment:

Otres isn’t connected to the power grid – which means we have to provide our own electricity. Our neighbors all use diesel generators – not an option for Done Right. With plenty of wind and sun available, conditions are perfect for testing renewable energy sources and strategies for minimizing energy consumption. We are also looking forward to trying other aspects of sustainable living such as solar ovens for cooking and water distillation, passive air conditioning and earthship construction techniques. More details on these plans will follow shortly!

The legal and practical aspects of all this have kept our focus away from the blog, we’ll make it up to you guys, promise! Some other progress we have made recently include:

  • Research and initial contacts with local schools and aid organizations to see where and how we can be of most use, as well as basis for recruiting personnel to our business. We have some very promising leads.
  • Research on materials and manufacturers to supply our production. Finding good quality materials that are guaranteed to be organic and produced under fair work conditions will be challenging – but we love a challenge!
  • Product design and production planning of the first items to be produced by Done Right for sale in Europe.
  • And of course, learning more about the Khmer way of doing things – I’m already more relaxed and comfortable doing business here than I ever was in Sweden.

This week most of our “work” time will be spent on practical things such as hiring administrative staff (cooking, cleaning, security etc) and shopping for things needed in our home. We will also move forward on many of the above mentioned plans and ideas.

We’ll be back shortly with a status update!
