  4. Several funeral homes in Chapala are offering substantial cremation discounts to members of the American Legion and their dependents...
  5. Spencer: Another outstanding public service... Muchas Gracias!
  6. I live in Rancho del Oro... CFE bills come to the house but not on a regular basis. Also, the variance in billing suggests that CFE sometimes estimates our bill...
  7. Construction is ongoing... It was supposed to be completed in December according to a physician who will be moving there... It certainly will not be ready by then but it is moving along...
  8. Our home in Paris was right out of the IKEA catalogue... Walking through the IKEA store in Riyadh was a trip down memory lane... Interesting assortment of furniture and kitchen items... The furniture is well designed but not built for 20 years...
  9. I received a call from Nyah about three weeks ago informing me of the change... Excellent service from the team. Glad they are still here!!!
  10. If your US plated car is still in the country when your visa is issued you can probably say goodbye to your $400 deposit... Spencer was unable to pry our deposit from their grubby little fingers... Our first contribution to Mexican bureaucracy.
  11. Ditto on Bournemouth's comment... Oscar came to our house, brought samples,picked up the items to meet his schedule (2 weeks later) and delivered them in two weeks... Don't expect a speedy turn around... He does excellent work and has a large clientele....
  12. Oscar made six cushions for our patio set...Reupholstered a sofa and loveseat and custom made a dog bed .... All quite reasonable and delivered as promised... He is busy so manage your expectations...
  13. We have 10 panels and our bill averaged 500 pesos over a year... The former owner was paying 2500 to 3000 per billing period... without the panels... We had E Sun come out and we found that our pool pump is drawing 14.5 amps instead of the normal 8, which means that running the pump for 4 hrs daily is accounting for 50% of our bill... Replacing the pump with a 2 speed or variable speed will cost around $800 USD... But the usage is less than 1/4 that of the existing pump. Moral: If you have a pool and have a single speed pump you are paying tooooo much!
  14. Agree with jrm30655. You might wish to contact past employers to see if you can be of assistance via on line and as a 1099 contractor. On line makes much more sense than trying to find a position here in Mexico due to immigration and financial considerations.
  15. Just attended the meeting... Take aways: 1. There are NO changes to the 2012 law.... 2. Show your Temperal or Permanente card at immigration First when re-entering the country... 3. As someone suggested: Write Termperal or Permanente at the top of your INM form...
  16. My wife purchased new Resound brand NOB (wireless capable) for $5300 USD late last year... Costco Mx sells the same brand but probably not the wireless capable... Hearing aids are expensive.... but we get great service from our vendor if and when needed...
  17. Just received a note from the American Legion that Mexican regulations regarding entry and exit procedures have been changed. The note said that failure to follow the new regulations would invalidate existing visas and require resubmittals... There is a meeting of various civic groups scheduled for the 11th but it would be beneficial if all were to have info on these changes... Spencer can you comment?
  18. Currently having an addition put on our home and the 8-9000 peso/ sq mtr is spot on...
  19. We had E Sun and Nyah Walters on our install. One day and we were up and running. After sale service is excellent... Jose in the office provides excellent help. Can't say enough about them...
  20. Suggest you buy a Garmin for your trip.... It was most useful when we were looking for our hotels on the way down...We over-nighted in Hermisillo and Mazatlan... We booked both on line. Be aware that the Hermisillo Hampton Inn advertises as it is pet friendly.. We got there at night and they would not accept our pet reservation... They did direct us to a hotel that did but I would not recommend this hotel... If you book on line, I suggest a call to the hotel to verify pet acceptance...
  21. The official name is Lakeside Medical Group... Address is on the Carreterra Hidalgo #244 in Riberas on the lakeside of the carreterra.
  22. If you or your husband are qualified for Tricare you can obtain coverage in Mexico. Lakeside Clinic takes Tricare and provides excellent service... They also take most major US plans... We pay for minor items out of pocket... We also keep our medicare coverage in the states...
  23. I have tried to contact you re: your vocho... If you get this give me a call at 766 4720.
