Has anyone replaced a cement roof?Roofs with a long period of neglect will have rusting of the rebar, so repair not possible.Has anyone undertaken the removal and replacing of a roof? Cost? How long to do it? Thanks.
Been there, done that. After multiple repairs/ attempts we finally got it repaired inside and out. Took lots ok removal of bad concrete and rebar replacement. The cost was steep!In retrospect, a whole new roof may have been a better choice, but ... Read More

Curfew / lockdown by Sitka
Well, it’s been only a day since the Governor announcement of an island wide curfew and lockdown. The impact has been dramatic, most businesses are closed, no public gatherings, only gas stations, banks, grocery stores, medical facilities ...

Curfew in Puerto Rico by Chris1304
Now that we have a Curfew and general shutdown, can someone explain the details? What stores remain open? When is it o.k. to leave the house? Do they really hand out %5000 fines? Are banks open? What if your car breaks down? Is there a website ...
I drove past pep boys & advanced auto parts today on the way to the grocery store, both were closed. While on lockdown, with time on my hands, started a project to clean and repaint the patio area, but need some painting supplies. Guess ... Read More

I am (generally) in agreement with the lockdown approach. Only essential services are open. But I have a concern, if your car breaks down and needs a part or repair, what do you do? Without transportation, you can’t go the grocery store, ... Read More

I understand that the governor may extend the curfew for two additional weeks. ( I’m in favor). And was proposing to test everyone on the island. Life under lockdown is kinda boring, gonna read my copy of Don Quixote to pass the time. ... Read More

Guess I better put some caned goods in my car as insurance. 😁. Seriously, everyone we know is practicing social distancing - parties, dinner groups, gathering of any type is canceled. Our beach is deserted, no surfers in spite of ... Read More

We have a guest from the states, scheduled to fly back this weekend at 2AM. I have been told to have a copy of the ticket in the car. If stoped by police, (during curfew hours) show the copy of the ticket to the police, they should accept it and ... Read More

Worth Moving to PR now? by Jannyboy63
After the recent hurricanes PR has had to endure and the recent mass amounts of earthquakes, most people would think I was crazy to consider moving there. I only have my father living there alone. I will be retiring in 4 years and therefore was ...
Well, what you say is partly correct. My wife told me not to wear the Rolex. But we have seen relatively little crime in our area (knock on wood) as we live away from SJ. My opinion is be aware of your surroundings, don’t flash a lot of ... Read More

See my post from today. The police are enforcing the curfew, writing tickets $5000 fine & possible 6 months in jail. Banks, grocery stores, gas stations, medical services open, most every thing else closed. This will have a very negative ... Read More
