Same thing happened to me a month ago. They just showed up unannounced. They had a truck with ladders but no uniforms. An hour later I had high speed fiber as backup to my iLox.

Well done Harry!

Out of curiosity, did the municipality contribute anything?

Good information.  How much solar do you have to accomplish this?

 

22 X 240 watt panels installed 10  plus years ago. Can't get to the second story roof to clean the panels so I lose a lot of efficiency and as the panels age they deteriorate as well.  They seem to max out at 3.5 to 4 Kw per hour now.

But everything seems bulletproof.

Well paid off. Maybe I'll contact GOSOLAR for his new 500 watt panels and micro-inverters and add my Koi pond.

Can't understand why AMLO is so anti renewables? Paid off. México could be a solar powered country with the new battery technology.

The other benefit of solar pV and water heating is the displacement of propane use.

Gradually switch your oven. stove, clothes dryer over to electric.

I now get my propane tank topped up once a year to supply my BBQ and outdoor pizza oven. Saves thousands of pesos annually.

My annual cost for gas and electricity for a house with a pool and pressure pump for irrigation is about $2,000 pesos

Interesting. So she is a dental surgeon? If you don't mind telling, did she complete a satisfactory implant on you? What period of the time did process take place over?

A Mexican friend reported getting 2 implants several years ago in La Floresta (can't remember name) which were completed in total over several days. A friend in Vancouver reported the same. The dentists here, who I asked, complete them only over several months.

I don't understand how Dentists do it quickly.

The process for me with Dra Candy was;

dental surgeon to do extraction and bone graft.

three months for bone to heal then the implant

one more month to settle in the implant then the post and crown.

When you moved into your fracc you read all the rules and regulations and probably signed an agreement that you would abide by them. Those bylaws include the payment of dues.

Why would anyone other than a moroso, renege on that agreement to the detriment of their fee paying neighbors?

I keep two varieties growing in a couple of "Earth Boxes" on the Terreza and enjoy Swiss Chard once a week. It grow very quickly from seed.

Interesting. Telmex just knocked on my door to ask if I wanted to have fiber installed. I said yes because I was still paying for their service. They're working on it now.

I had switched to iLox 3 years ago because all Telmex offered in Upper Chula Vista was twisted pair and abismal download speed.

Lets see if their speed is comparable to iLox.

SunFan

The installers just finished. A professional job.

30 mbps down, 26 up on WiFi.

Now if its reliable I can dump my 900 peso a month iLox.

Don't forget the IVA. The real cost is over 8%.

Emile Badawy was a great person. Loved by all. His passing is a major loss to the Lake Chapala Society where he served as volunteer finance manager for fourteen years.

He will be sorely missed and long remembered.

What about Whirlpool here in Mexico? Is it the same quality as Whirlpool in the U.S.? I owned Whirlpool appliances in the U.S. and while not high-end, they were a good balance of value and quality.

From experience I'm not big on Mexican appliances. I suspect they're built to lesser standards than NOB and Europe.

Six years ago we bought a top-of-the-line Whirlpool front loading washer/dryer  set from Tio Sam. After two years the washer threw an error code indicating the circuit board was toast. Out of warranty after one year of course. Whirlpool technications two two months to agree on the problem. We were taking our clothes to the local laundry.

Whirlpool could not source a replacement computer. For over 5,000 pesos the best they could do was install a circuit board from an older model that lacked 4 of the newer cycles.

In future i would buy from Costco where at least you get more than a taillight guarantee.

Back to the original question.....

We bought a top end Mabe gas stove and kept it three years before we replaced it. In fact threw it in the trash.

It had no insulation so was inefficient and the exterior got so hot we had to use a towel to work the controls. Their engineers cleverly put all the control knobs on the top, front. After a month some of the button controls popped out  on the floor from the heat.

The final straw was when the outer glass door on the oven exploded and showered my legs with pieces of glass.

Its too hot here. I actually perspired in the shade yesterday afternoon.

I agree. Many foreigners I speak to have an inflated opinion of how much impact and significance they have in Mexico. Keep motoring and keep your head down..

For some unknown reason traffic was great today - Weds.

Around 10:30 AM I sailed past the five lights at Superlake and Walmart, drove through La Floresta and was only stopped briefly at the Tianguis.

I shoulda bought a lottery ticket!
