I have just the guy for you. His name is Victor, he speaks very good English, and he is knowledgeable in all things construction and engineering. I used him for many projects when I lived in Chapala, including, sealing my roof (because of leaks), removing mold (that turned out to ants), installing a drip system, painting the house, totally replacing the gas lines, etc. Here is his contact info: Victor Francisco Lopez Valencia phone (cell): +52 (333) 179-1210 phone (home): +52 (387) 763-1023 mail: victorvalencia1@live.com Give him a try.

Can anyone explain if this affects us expats? Best wishes, N&H

You can get a pvc tube at any hardware store. They are even better than the cardboard tubes. You can seal the ends with duct tape. Works great.

Hi Guys, Well, I was hoping to write something amusing, to bring a chuckle or at least a smile into our lives. I guess that failed. Did you notice the "funny" tag? That probably didn't help. Anyway, in my mind, (yes I know, you don't have access to that), I was trying to (humorously) point out some of the absurdities of "the system" Namely: 1. How little Mexican banks trust their tellers. All of the information they needed to complete the transaction was available to them, but the guy behind the window couldn't access any of it. 2. This was a deposit, n'est pas? I would sympa

She got cash. Probably around 20 pesos.

It warms my heart to report that the other day I gave a double milky-way bar to the lady bagging my groceries. She thanked me sincerely, walked over to her manager, and exchanged it for cash. Best wishes, Henry Laxen

I hesitate to respond this given the kind and generous responses I've received in the past. In particular I would appreciate a non-response from: Mainecoon Fred Habacht Pappysmarket More Liana mtmama RVringo mudgirl Xena So I went to the meeting last night. I don't think they (the city representatives) wanted an open meeting. The reason I say this is because about a week earlier a policeman knocked on my door and asked if I was the president of our frac.
