    Thanks, everyone.  I ended up using Ruly, he is very punctual,  honest, thorough, and has a 7 -year warranty.  He went to university in Guad to become an arcitecto  and his specialty is dealing with water and moisture; he also designs and constructs French drains.  He does the entire package, with cleaning the old base off, then prepping, laying a torch (tar) coating, then a membrane that is basically a big roll of asphalt shingle like we have up north, sealing the abutting seams of that, and then covering with top quality impermeabilizante--3 coats of white on mine.  I specifically requested white because it reflects the rays of the sun and keeps the house about 7 degrees cooler than when a I had a red-brick color roof. 

    Our entire job took 4 weeks straight, no rain days, workers here at 8:30 every morning until about 5 every day.  Our roof is large at over 4200 sq feet plus a cupola and solar panels (removal and replace) .  It cost 123,000 pesos in total.  Much better deal than paying out the annual  18,000 or so pesos and worrying about leaks at the start of every season.

    BTW we discovered, while looking over the photos on Ruly's phone, that the roof had never been done correctly, in the 50+ years this house had been standing, and despite numerous owners who had done some intensive and expensive renovations. Just an annual cleaning and roll on of impermeabilizante.  Makes you wonder.....

    Rully is the best! And very honest person!  You will be happy whit youre new roof! Saludos!

  4. Wow! Thats a goods question? I think they charge x m3, but all depends how thick you liked, and the prices change to! But in my opinion you need a good inspection to make you retaining wall, and have a better idea, and try to get a good Contractor or Enginering, my contractor make 1 retaining wall whit a france draing, and he make my stone wall like 18ml x 5 higth, and the thick he start the foundation 1.5 and finish in 1m. And install rods ins diferents areas whit concrete! They make 5 concrete columns to. If you need more info send me a PM. Saludos.

    Well, here is the end of the story.  I ordered a 1 quart bottle from slipdoctors above.  They sent it fedex, and when it arrived at customs in gdl, it was flagged because it was a liquid.  Fedex was singularly unhelpful, just repeating that I needed to hire a customs broker in order to import it.  I told fedex to tell customs that if they have any slippery spots in their offices they now had a way to prevent injuries.  Thank goodness the brave customs agents are protecting the poor Mexican citizens from such dangerous products.  Cost of lesson learned: approx $100 USD.

    Best wishes,

    Dear Group,

    Our seven year old puppy, Athena           is having a very hard time getting up on our slippery tile floors these days.  Is anyone aware of a local (guadalajara) company that can come in and apply some type of non-skid coating to our floors?  I have tried these guys but they said no because their product is a film that is only applied to small areas.  Sr. Google has not been helpful.  Any pointers would be apprciated.

    Best wishes,

    N&H

    there is a product, liquid (special acid) that is applied on the polished floor, and this makes the floor porous and non-slip, it is clear it does not change color. Saludos
