You already made me buy an Aqua Skipper, now I have to research electric fat tire bikes...

Joan: I own in Miramar and commercial in RP. I have owned in Cholla and in San Quintin B.C. I own in Arizona both commercial and residential. The point being made was that with "professional" people and companies making commissions off of a transaction there should have been much more...

Hopefully a "professional" real estate agent was used in the purchase so the nice lady has someone to sue and collect from.

Wow, how many "professionals" we're involved the sale of these condos, did the "professionals" seek full titling and title insurance? Did the "professionals" search for claims or lien releases? Most "professional" real estate brokers are focused on making the sale and getting their fee and are...

I have been in your situation and now remember and agree. You are right. I still want to know why this ladies property was singled out. Sounds like she did everything wrong but then if every purchaser did all of the proper paperwork would the contractors and suppliers get nothing? Lagrimas, as...

Wrong! No court in the U.S. would punish the third party like this. This is a complete miscarriage of justice. A judgement and confiscation of assets against the non-paying party should have happened, not asset confiscation of a third party buyer. Proper titling and title insurance should have...

The cops in Sonoita have been brutal on us for a year now. My friend got a ticket for "running a stop sign" when he was stopped and the third car in line. He hadn't even got to the stop sign he was supposedly running. I have been pulled over 4 times for "speeding" when I never drive faster than...

I now just want to cruise the Sea of Cortez for 4 years.........

2016 will be the year I build my own solar powered de-sal plant. All info is welcome.

There is a solar powered de-salination set up on my beach that feeds two houses. This de-sal project is small but keeps a large tank full that adequately supplies the houses. It turns on when the float drops to a certain level. I am not sure what they do with the discharge. Most de-sal plants...

I believe the reporting is much more accurate in the U.S. but a lot of crime happens that goes unreported. I think there is so much crime that only the big crimes or interesting crimes make the news-kind of an information overload situation. Thank god we have a dedicated police force that...

For those of you who do not own their Mexico property with a U.S. corporation are you reporting to the IRS your foreign real estate assets? How about the money you have in Mexican Banks? My CPA has been drilling me on these questions which answers are supposed to be reported to the IRS.

Any system with water requires maintenance due to the minerals in the water, aging of the parts........I once read about a solar hot water system that trickled hot water it made all day over a large tank of river rock which served as a "hot water battery" for night or when the sun was not...

The big problem is that you can easily insulate floors, walls and roofs but your windows will be a weak spot for energy transference as compared to your walls.

Jim: thanks, I loved this article. I sent the article to my buddies who come yo mex with me, one is a soils engineer the other a Hydrogeologist. I told them to get working on making my negative ions!

J: I seem to glom on to projects like the one you are mentioning. Is it the White House with the large front porch? After you read my book recommendation I want to hear what you think.

I loved this book: http://smile.amazon.com/Island-Oneself-Tom-Neale/dp/0918024765/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1420930167&sr=1-1&keywords=tom+neale

J: concrete and masonry is so bizarre. Sometimes all of the precautions and proper technique in the world don't help and then some guy builds with no proper usage of materials and the project lasts forever.

FYI: I now believe that incredibly close inspection of the original work while it is being completed is essential. I found that part of the "pour" or thickness on my patio slimmed down to only two inches from the standard 4". When you put already rusty rebar in and it starts to expand in a two...

I have been chipping rusty rebar out of the concrete on my porch. The rebar in the concrete was completely decimated by rust and had turned to powder in many cases. The expanding rusty repair cracked and spalled the concrete and broke the edges off in some areas. The rust continued to eat the...
