    Sandy Beach and the Jetty

    We went to hang out at the beach today and discovered there is actually an official break in the fence so you can get onto Sandy Beach. There are 2 Porta Johns there. We noticed about 30 people on the beach Saturday with shade tents and buggies on the beach. Free admission the access in, is...

    Roofing marvel

    Dirtsurfer, Nice find, It does seem to be a lot better than elastomeric, I am sure it will help somebody out with good reports on it. I looked at that product to use on my Cholla houses but passed because of the price and no track record from anyone who used it. As a less expensive alterative...

    Anyone building anything new?

    Here is an interesting video on doing a brick dome Coupla on you tube, it's 26 minutes but just fast forward through it to see the progress. I have seen 2 of these done in person and they go up pretty quickly. Amazing what a trowel, brick, mortar and skill can do.

    Anyone building anything new?

    Block is usually used for all walls, interior and exterior. I have seen some interior walls done with steel 2x4. Some houses are using 2" of foam with stucco on the outside of the block to give it some insulation. Wood isn't used as much as in the past for rafters, most times it is a foam truss...

    Mosquitos problem.

    The mosquitos and flies are the reason I didn't build in Las Conchas or Playa Encanto, but love visiting those areas.

    CFE Payments

    That makes sense, since I have never paid at CFE only OXXO a couple of times. For the past 5 years, I have a friend put some $$ on my account and watch the credit balance in my on-line account. But for the past 2 years a local friend has been paying my bill every 2 months, because I have seen...

    Quick internet/computer question...

    I tried out the T-Mobile 4G data plan last week, it worked perfect. Using my phone as a Mobile hot spot , I was getting 20+mbs down and almost 10mbs uploads. It is faster in Cholla than my area in Phx. Bad part is after using a laptop to surf the net (using my phone as a hotspot) and minimal...

    Border wait Labor day

    :confused: Easy guys :confused: If I had to choose, Penasco first, because I can have a view of the ocean that is even better with a cold beer from a $18 case of Pacifico, Sol, DosXX, Indio etc.. Or, I can stay in SD with relatives for free, not as nice for views with $4 beers. For the record...

    Border wait Labor day

    I think this dance is about to end. From either Phoenix or Tucson, Penasco is about 160-170 miles away. That alone being about a 2 hr drive. 2 hrs, that's 80-85 mph avg. You drive like my wife. :D It takes me 4 hrs. to drive 232 miles door to door to my place in Cholla from NE Phx area. That's...
