How can I get into Hot Water? by Sitka
Hi We need to install a hot water heater in our place for shower, sinks, DW, etc.. What is recommended by folks in the know?? I know electric rates are sky high and most likely going up. Propane is an option, (is natural gas available anywhere ...
A couple of options: Solar: You will find this is cost effective as the electric rates will go up and the grid is unreliable. If you go solar, put up enough panels to cover more than just the hot H2O, it will be more cost effective. The downside is ... Read More
Best way to get personal "stuff" to PR by suzanne12345
We are moving in a month from VA to PR. We will be renting a furnished apartment. As I get ready to leave (plus husband and 3 teen daughters) it is clear we will need to ship some stuff. UPS is expensive, PODs are too big and very expensive as well. ...
Try UPack, http://www.upack.com/movers. We used them and it went flawlessly at a reasonable cost. Read More

Hi Schuttzie, Thanks for the good wishes. We just got to the point where the extra costs and inconveniences overcame the beauty and great weather. It will probably take us years to sell so we'll be here a while! Skip Read More

I need to give you a lot of credit for overlooking your desire to move to PR and examining reality. Not many people do this. We've been here 7 years and are up near the rain forrest in a secluded, beautiful area near Naguabo. We've also just ... Read More
Any musicians out there? by dolt201
I've been craving the jam sessions we used to have in the states. We had between 10 and 35 musicians who would gather to play music, mostly bluegrass, old timy, blues and folk. Are there any acoustic musicians out there who would like to get ...

Frogrock, Sounds good, how about we try to do something after Thanksgiving. We have some friends from the states spending a week with us and after that would be better. Have you heard of Little Rev? He is an awesome Uke player. Later Skip Read More

Trespassers by dolt201
I was in the states taking care of some repairs that were needed on our house there when I got a disturbing call from my wife. She said she was not going to clean the apartment attached to our PR house because there was a snake skin stretched across ...
I hear you on the spiders. We see six to eight a week here, in fact there is one outside the front door now by the roof but I can't find the spider spray to nab him. Keep the faith and the insecticide handy! Read More

We feel the same way, I love having the snaked around and keep track of them to make sure they are OK. Tarantulas are another story. I just don't like them. We also have a lot of the huntsman spiders. The insect spray I use takes care of all the ... Read More

Anolis... We are in agreement, I cherish the presence of these snakes on the property. I posted some pics of this beautiful snake. We have a lot of the black racers and although we are always kind to them I am careful as they are semi venomous. ... Read More
