  1. I put my 8 foot tank 4 feet in the ground. I am not worried about ground water pressure. Also note I purchased a heavy duty tank with thicker plastic than some cheaper tanks. During the wet season I won't be using the tank much anyway so it will be left full. I have no problems leaving it empty during dry season.
  2. AMLO fired the customs people due to corruption and put national guard people to replace them. Everything has come to a halt until they figure out how to do the job. Point I am still getting US amazon stuff so maybe they have own teams to deal with this. I don't know.
  3. There is a village in south america where the whole town decided to wear masks. They even wash the money before you get change. Every stranger who comes into town is met by a nurse who takes persons temperature. They have no people with the virus. None zip. Wear a mask.
  4. Yep you are right and I am wrong. I was giving total water storage on property as I have other tanks and a pond. I have corrected errors in my posts. Beware I have a huge gate and I had to take down part of the electric fence to get it into the property. Only other option was a crane. I can't imagine getting a tank with a bigger diameter onto a property or maybe it would be too wide for a truck.
  5. I got the 10,000 L underground cistern tank with the pump and connection kit. Quality of parts was good. It was about 1500 USD including pump. Pump is 1/2 HP.
  6. Problem is you have not read anything about the vaccine we are being offered here. After much looking I found results for Sinovac. The first two studies consisted of 600 people. Pfizer had 40,000 in initial studies. Moderna had 30,000 people in initial study. Unless a study is missing they experimented on the Brazil people. I hope they are just being tight with info but from what I can see I will wait. I can't see study I assume it doesn't exist. Your mileage may vary. Your opinion may vary.
  7. Largest round underground plastic tank is 10,000 liters. Its about 8 ft diameter and 8 ft tall. Tank must be half buried (4 ft) in ground to support tank properly. (Do not ignore this or tank will collapse under pressure, Water weighs over 18,000lbs) You also need to make a foundation for the tank. I used concrete. Tanks larger than this must be made of bricks. It was a 2 ton truck that delivered the plastic tank. Anything larger probably would not fit in truck. Rolling the tank across the yard was fun. These tanks are heavy and no place to hang on. You also have to make sure you have a big enough gate to get tank onto property. Probably about the same cost to have a tank built but it would take much longer. Added a 1/2 HP pump to hose and you don't have to worry about watering plants anymore. It can also be used to fill my under driveway tank if they turn off the water for multiple days or help the neighborhood.
  8. Oh I don't know about that. Our latest house we had a years lease and the mexican owners were so impressed with us they gave us a five year lease at a fixed price. Impress your landlord. We have had five rentals here and always had good relations with landlords both Mexican and Gringo. Show that you care. We have always been rewarded in living here 15 years by being nice and caring about the landlords house. Fix the small crap and leave your landlord alone unless its something big. We even helped pay to rebuild the roof and were rewarded with cheap rent.
  9. Just like medical doctors many are good and many are below average.
  10. I leave the adjustable shower head in the setting to allow this to happen when I finish my shower. Good Point!
  11. The overall level of water is what it use to be underground. If you drill a well and you find water at the same level as long term wells the problem does not exist for now. I agree it will in the future but we are in pretty good shape for the time being. Go talk to the water people they know. Yes all this could and will change.
  12. While a great solution it doesn't have to be this fancy. I keep a bucket in the shower and fill it and use it to water plants or flush toilets.
  13. This happens every year and depending on your local wells you may or may not have problems. They have drilled new wells and found water at the expectant level so we are not in bad shape as a whole for now. Local and long term conditions are another story and time will tell. I do expect the everyday water in SAT to stop and become every other day as they try to stretch the water til the rain starts and refill the ground. Lots of plant watering this time of year in SAT which doesn't help. I put a very large storage tank (10,000 L) to avoid these problems as I have gardens, small fish pond and a lawn to deal with. Last year we had to call the trucks in but SAT has drilled a new well and added a new pump so maybe things will go smoother this year. Time will tell.
  14. Yes its the old lady with the bun in her hair who taught us english.
  15. No point in talking to you. You are close minded and answer everybody with a smart ### answer.
  16. Excuse me you know nothing. The supreme court convicted the AMA of discriminating against Chiropractors. Look it up. They also discriminated against chin ese medicine, acupuncture, Native american medicine. This started in the early 1900 financed by the owners of the new pill business. Also the AMA doesn't represent patients they represent doctors. Do some reading and stop abusing health care professionals because you were taught a false belief.
  17. Go back and look you are the one who brought up the pro AMA arguments. Angus grow up and stop commenting on things you know nothing about.
  18. You folks need to go for a walk and get out of the house. As far as Pete goes whats the big deal. All you have to do is not read his posts. Why are you folks so argumentative?? You are making this board look foolish. Have a nice day!
  19. Angus try reading some history of the AMA instead of being a smartass. You might learn something.
  20. Never before have I heard such crap. Susan is just plain wrong and must be a tool of the AMA. Angus go read the history of the AMA before you spout this crap.
  21. Dr. Youcha does not live here anymore. Dr. Roberto Montoya D.C. . MVZ who is Dr. Youcha partner in the past. They worked closely for a lot of years. Roberto still works in the same office as they both used in the past. He has all his papers and CED. PROF. I have been treated by both Victor and Roberto. Do not be shy about seeing Dr Roberto. His english is very good. His style is a little bit more physical than Victor. Victor is not the only one with a cedula in Lakeside.
  22. Read this. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/mar/22/astrazeneca-covid-vaccine-79-effective-with-no-increased-blood-clot-risk-us-trial
  23. Stop this silliness. You folks have been indoors too long.
