  1. I am still on step one: "Name change on the account"... Ball is in property manager's court... Step two: Install solar...
  2. We are presently living with 5000+ CFE bills for the two month period... We got rid of our second refrigerator that came with the house and our billings dropped 1000 pesos...We are prime candidates for solar HOWEVER, in 6 months we have not been able to get CFE to put the account in our name... First they wanted a copy of our deed, Then our RFC, then the Constantia de Situation Fiscal... We provided all that but since we have two meters, CFE needs to have them combined... This week's to do list... THEN we will apply for a solar system meter which probably will be another fiasco... Having lived here previously, we know that there is not a spanish translation for customer service so we go with the flow...
  3. There is also the fact that some do not think it is none of your business which way they are turning.....
  4. I have to say that MOST drivers here show more curtesy than those in the Dallas metro area... That said, watch your mirrors...
  5. Agree with sm1mx, Nyah provides excellent customer service..
  6. The Guad Reporter has their new location 107 Hidalgo Riberas... Phone: 376 7666148, email: ventasa@opiere.com The map shown shows their location is across the street from ORMA auto parts...
  7. Perhaps by 2030 someone in the planning department will require that all buildings provide parking for X number of cars based on occupancy... Now for another shot of Tequilla to make that one work...
  8. Ana was very helpful in getting us up and running when we returned to Ajijic... She could use some additional help to handle the large number of customers that treck to her door...If she was doing something wrong there would be less traffic... People vote with their wallet...
  9. Timing is everything... Going from Rancho del Oro to Chapala can take 25 minutes or an hour depending on the time of day... I have found that leaving at 8:25am will get you there in a short time even on market day... Coming back around noon one should pack a lunch...
  10. A bit testi for a Monday morning... Perhaps someone needs another cup of coffee....
  11. Whatever the up-charge it certainly beats what we were paying NOB>
  12. We purchased our home without a realtor and the cost was 2.3% of the selling price plus $400 USD representing 1/2 of the attorney fees... For ball park figuring with a realtor figure 10% of the selling price...
  13. After a 2 year hiatis we returned to Ajijic... Things are much quieter than when we left...The loud music from the local events establishment is muted and only the tequila lubricated impresario’s voice rings through...
  14. Suggest a month due dilligent trip to answer your questions...The two big deal killers IMO are traffic and noise... Jim Bowie is spot on... You need boots on the ground and time to discover your perfect location...
  15. Jose recently did an install of a railing on our veranda... Excellent work and at a very fair price...
  16. We recently ate there and found the food OK but not worth the price paid... We sat on the patio which was a fly catcher so that may have tainted our thoughts... We normally give a place two tries before adding them to our list eating establishments we recommed to people we don't particularly like...
  17. I would think that sales locally may drop some. but since financing interest rates have little /no effect on cash sales.
  18. "Build it and they will come".... Only works in the movies....
  19. On any project if one does not have all project monies identified before starting and a 15% cost overrun included, don't start!
  20. As of 2019 a health certificate is not required... A current rabis certificate is required. Having crossed the border by vehicle with 2 dogs numerous times, we have never been asked for any paperwork... Flying in is another matter... Best have your friend check on the web for official info...
  21. We have TelMex fiber in Rancho del Oro... Last month we were out 22 days...The problem was a broken fiber optic cable that was buried... I can't see how that happened but since this was the third "fix it" for the fiber we opted to pick up Total Play... While we now have constant internet we still get buffering at 4:30 each day on Fox News...
  22. Children , please play nice... Or mother will wash your computer in Fels Naphta....
  23. Mexico health is a mixed bag...While we have had acceptable care here, if anything goes wrong we are opting to return to the U.S. and receive our health care there... Cost for us is fortunately not a factor since all health requirements both north and south of the border have been 100% covered...
