It looks really good.  So, you have no fabric in the planter, only rocks and that is working.  My planter currently has only dirt and weeds in it, so I need to get rid of weeds, then do everything else and I want to make sure I do it the best way for minimal maintenance.

I asked the landscaper about this issue and all he could suggest was a chemical.  I don't understand this as I am not the only person making this request.

16 years ago we put down double landscape cloth ,crisscrossed where you see the river rock. weeds try to get started but can't take hold over cloth. The planters have some ground cover plants and the sharp lava red rocks over the soil,never have used any sort of weed killer on anything in our yard and we don't use a gardener,only tree guys when our palms need doing

Get some landscape fabric after pulling the weeds and doing your planting. It lets water through but doesn't allow the weeds to grow. Then you can do either mulch or stones and won't have the weeds growing up between them. Garden centre in Riberas (next to where the 711 used to be).

Very good idea, so then the fabric is worked around the plants after they are installed?

Suggestions on how to kill weeds.  I have tried may things, salt, vinegar, etc.  I do not want Round up in my yard.  I will be installing plants fairly soon.  The only thing I know to do at this point is pull the weeds, put down mulch and then small red river rocks after planting the plants.

This is an old post that I am reviving.  Has anyone used Eduardo Galindo for landscape design and installation.  My project was started by someone, and then, due to different circumstances, remains unfinished.  I have the flower bed built and the water system almost completed.  I need to rest completed.

I used to see how to edit my posts, but I no longer see that feature.  Typing errors bother me when I see I have made them.

I have CRPS (COMPLEX REGIONAL PAIN SYNDROME)

Who is Dr. Christina?  Do you mean Dr. Justina?

If you are having your own blood withdrawn and re-injected and you aren't waiting several days in -between, you're probably not getting much in the way of actual stem cells, which take days or weeks to grow.

I don't know if stem cell therapy requires your own blood at all.  I know for sure it does for PRP which is a totally different treatment.

I think reliance of electronic money only is a terrible idea.  That's all it takes to take down a country. The governments really like and are setting us up so they can eliminate cash and have control over everything and this is just a sampling of what it will be like.  No privacy either.

I like cash for that reason.  It is best to have a reserve of cash as well as some emergency supplies.

"Paperwork to Buy a Car

In order to buy a car at a dealership, you will need to have with you your passport (or a copy of the page showing your name, citizenship, etc.), Temporary or Permanent Visa card, proof of your Mexican address (such as the always-valuable electric bill from CFE). Other documents may be required. " ...

I am sure that info will help someone.  It has been many years for me, so I did not remember the requirements.  I just remember having such a hassle when we went from Tourist to Permanente car wise.  I think it is ludicrous that a Tourist can buy a house, but not a Mexican plated vehicle.

Once permanent resident there is never a renewal. However if you live or drive here you have to drive a Mexican plated car. 
requirements now to go permanente would be best to have a facilitator. There is a person that comes to LCS to help with legal matters. You could talk to him and see what is required now. 

Or...you can walk into Migracion and ask for the list of requirements. They speak English.  No need to pay a facilitator.

It ain't very brilliant to not get a permanante[SIC] merely because you wanna keep yer NOB car now is it? Give yer head a shake! -SNORK!

It depends.  I think it's a lot of bother to have to keep renewing a temporal and then have to rush to drive your car to the border because it is US plated.  I don't know if you can buy a Mx. vehicle if you only have temporal.  It any event, it is whatever works for the person. Not necessary to be judgmental.

I doubt that any/many couples will have "$2,600 in Social Security benefits (per person)..... Sure that's not 'total' for the couple?

 

That's true.  However, as stated above, you can add other income sources or show qualifying in the other ways that are offered.  Also, each Consulate's requirements differ a bit.  I am stating this from personal experience.

A bit unrelated, but still talking about gas deliveries.  How much do you normally tip a gas delivery guy?

Thanks. 

No tip from me either.

look at chapalahaciendas-mx which is a dot com.

Updates coming as released

I found no information on there with respect to the well or anything of substance.  David directed to me to another web page  I suggest those of us who live in CH start using and supporting.  ChapalaHaciendas.org.  It has the information on the meetings and update on the well.  It is fairly new so the creator would like some content added.  I think we can help it along by posting resources and whatever information is relevant for us.

I realize this is not what you asked for, however, I don't know if you realize you can do this yourself. You apply in the country from which you originate, then you complete the process here.  The first consulate will tell you exactly what you need.  After you cross the border, you go to Migration here and they will also give you a list of documents to provide.  The attorney just does the errand for you.

The ground in CH is constantly moving and if your house is one built on escombro fill it will move even more.

Our realtor had a similar problem as yours in their house up on Codornices. Soon after we bought ours, they hired the same crooked crew we used in remodeling our house to assess the cracks in their house. He advised them that filling the cracks in the walls and floors that were as wide as 15 cm would do nothing but cover the real problem, but that's what they opted to do. They sold the house shortly afterwards. Buyer beware! 

Bueno suerte in finding a real solution.

Yep. They were told that, yet they chose to pass the problem on. BTW, these weren't short cracks. Some, as described to me by the "contractor" went almost ceiling to floor. 

Who is the crew that was hired?  I want to make sure and not hire them.

I have some serious cracks in my walls that are getting worse. I really need some ethical professionals who can advise me on this.
