Ferret

I would trust anyone from the Camacho family to do cataract surgery. The expertise, care and love have been handed down in the family.

Any idea how many kilometers from that exit on the cuota to the Chapala highway? Just curious. Looks like a delightful way to get to and from the coast without going into Guadalajara.

They are usually random phone calls and then they hit on a "mark". I either don't answer calls when I don't know the number or play with 'em like a cat plays with a dead mouse and string 'em along. The calls that are targeted and know relatives names etc have usually picked up the info from a social media page like Facebook. One of the reasons that I don't do Facebook or Twitter or ?

Let's call them Wizzi for pissing on their customers.

And I like Beto Muñoz of El Tempisque (location is almost beside HarryB's choice). 333-170-7410 (cell and whatsapp) or betoweld (at) yahoo.com His guys have done big jobs and small jobs for me (like new aljibe lid). On time, reasonable and good work.

No kidding. Once had to open the lid to this arrangement in Riviera Alta and it was full of dirt and debris and WATER. Scared the crap out of me. Maintenance before and after the rainy season comes to mind as prudent.

Fair enough Rick and I respect your opinion. Too bad Telmex has been so customer unfriendly to so many people for so long though that it took iLox' arrival to spur them into action to provide improved options.

That makes sense. I think you would need a different modem to work with new wiring and capabilities of the fibre. Dunno for sure. What irks me is the "ownership" of the underground conduits. Did Telmex actually pay for those conduits? Or, if the builder built them did they have to sign something that only Telmex had access to them? Curious and not home owner friendly to be so held for ransom by the limitations.

How many houses in Puerta Arroyo? That would help other developments make a decision who can't get iLox because they are stymied by the "ownership" of the underground conduits.

It is easy to contact iLox. My friend is in Rancho Alegre (west of El Limon and east of Las Fuentes) and got a reply from Jessica Avila at iLox. My firend is a prepaid (14 months still waiting) and was TOLD that they would be going west from San Juan Cosala BEFORE they did the prepaids in San Antonio and Riberas. I don't mind that because they have (as you have pointed out) dismal service from Telmex. I have good service from Telmex in Riberas when I have service from Telmex same as ComputerGuy. Still, I resent the prepaids not being done before all the others who have jumped on the bandwagon lately. THEY can flippin' well WAIT their turn like we have.

I believe there is also community service involved in obtaining a cedula for a medical professional.

LOL. I don't think there's anything written about DST in the bible.

You'd have to phone and ask, gringal, but I kinda doubt it.

And that's the kind of thing that I love about these guys. They are never going to rip you off. May I suggest that you also pull out the fridge and clean the condenser coils and fan with a vacuum cleaner if possible. I had a huge drawer on wheels made that goes under my fridge to make it easier to pull out to access the back. Clean machine is happy machine.

The heavens opened up in Riberas around 7:40 pm. TORRENTIAL rain and I accumulated 1 and 1/4 inches in a half an hour in the rain gauge. BIG wind and moderate thunder and lightening and the temperature dropped 20 degrees F. I am absolutely amazed that I still have a landline, internet and electricity. I may even have to haul out a blanket for tonight.

pm Gringal. She needs them.

Because each of us is unique, I found this article to be of interest. As a narcoleptic with cataplexy, I "discovered" cannabis oil in December of 2014. My hubby decided he wasn't going to use it because he wanted to be clear headed and functional right 'til the very end. He suggested that I try it at night because he said it was definitely sedating. Normally, I can fall asleep at the drop of a hat BUT the quality is lacking because I don't get enough "deep" sleep and have an overabundance of REM which leaves me dragging my butt around most days. So, I started taking a 1/2 a grain of rice worth of Indica THC only based cannabis oil sublingually just before bed every night. The sleep was incredible and I woke up refreshed. What was even more exciting and totally unexpected, the cataplexy stopped in about two weeks after starting the oil. The cataplexy had been a daily occurrence for me for the previous twenty-eight years. Couldn't believe it, so I stopped taking the oil... and the cataplexy was back in four days. I've been taking it every night since. The reason that I'm posting this article is because I get asked a lot if CBD (Cannabidiol) would help with sleep and I always say that it can be stimulating so be careful. I have recommended it if your insomnia or inability to sleep is caused by pain or anxiety or stress because it definitely makes everything easier to cope with. This is assuming that you have normal sleep patterns if the stress, pain or anxiety are removed from the equation. Anyway, enjoy the article. I did and I like using products that have no side effects and are natural. Whatever works for you. https://www.leafly.com/news/strains-products/how-to-use-cbd-marijuana-for-sleep?utm_source=SailThru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=buy_pickup&utm_term=global&utm_content=pickup

Just about every single thing in my house is second hand bought at consignment stores or garage/house sales with the exception of pots and pans (Costco), sheets (Costco), towels (Costco), and dishes and cutlery and mattress which I tote around with me wherever I go. Takes a while but there's great satisfaction in the hunt. YMMV. Edited to add: I was just thinking about the pressure you're putting on yourself by having your stuff shipped here IF you don't already have a place to move it into. Storage is at a premium and, trust me, just living here is a learning curve that goes straight up without scrambling to find a place or to store it. Again, YMMV.

Menaje de casa. This is the most recent information that I can find (from 2015)... https://consulmex.sre.gob.mx/boston/index.php/consular-services/64-household-goods

Shall we assume that the OP has all the correct paperwork for importing a household of furniture? Otherwise he/she is gonna be in for a hell of a surprise at the border.

I would also try some of the Ferreterias. The nylon line is the same one that bricklayers' use to keep their line of brick straight (at least the professional bricklayers do ;))

Something is wrong with Youngtimer's scenario. Did you call them first? Because they absolutely do not do what you are requesting of them. Any applications for either Temporal or Permanente MUST be done at a Mexican Consulate in the country where the applicant is living, in person. Am I missing something that Youngtimer has not disclosed? Edited to add: Once you have the Temporal or Permanente in your hot little hand, you have X number of months to enter Mexico and then, within 30 days of entering, you must present to the INM office to have it executed (which may take months given the current backlog). Instead of going to the INM office yourself, THAT is where the services of Spencer (Chapala) or Sonia (San Miguel de Allende) come into play.

Or full monty?

Some things are logical to some but not so to others. I would recommend sweeping first and then power washing. Why? Because I had my roof done in March (before it got disgustingly hot for the worker) and ended up with a very big mess in my gutter and at the bottom of every drain pipe. If you have a problem with leaks then follow RVgringo's instructions about scraping and THEN sweep AGAIN and fill the cracks. As far as the overlapping of the membrane goes, start at the lowest point of the inclination where the rain is draining off (please let there be an inclination in the right direction to your roof) and work UP the incline from there overlapping each section of the membrane about 2 inches over the previous one. On the inside edges of the parapet, the roof membrane should go UP the parapet about two inches, then apply the membrane from the top of the parapet down and over the upped two inches. WideSky is correct that a layer of impermiabilizante goes down first and the membrane is laid over it and embedded into it while still wet. Pray for a calm day because it's preferable if there are no wrinkles. Then another layer when dry the next day.... and another layer applied in the OPPOSITE direction the next day. There are quite a variety of the Fester products in quality. Buy the one that Fester guarantees. And, applying it with the equivalent of a sheepskin roller on a long handle is both easier and quicker... I wouldn't dilute it. YMMV.

Also got one inch in Riberas last night. And I think I've finally (after a year) figured out Ventusky.com . If you don't put in location (Ajijic, Mexico), the TIMING of precipitation is off. I set the precipitation to one hour increments and then moved forward by one hour through the night (virtually not actually). The precipitation happened exactly as expected and even the amount shown above the name Ajijic on the map was correct when compared with rain gauge. The wind direction is also better shown since it is closer to the ground than satellite photos. Love this stuff! https://www.ventusky.com/?p=21.4;-69.7;4&l=temperature I've been putting in the location every time I use it just to be safe.
