    Stoned windshield repair in Puerto Plata

    I just wanted to share with you all that I recently had a large windshield crack repaired in PP. My driver side window wasn't working as well which I also had repaired. Unfortunately I let the crack extend a bit before I had the repair done but after the work was done it's hardly noticeable...

    Summer heat has been the worst this 2023

    This summer we ran 2 12000 btu inverter AC's every night. During the tough heat of the last two months I ran one of the units around 14 hrs/day. Two fans running, fridge, and a clothes washer that's abused. The highest bill was 5300 pesos. This is in Santiago with Edenorte. It's possible...

    Banreservas in Spain / USA

    It seems they've got the ATM/debit card issues under control. I've never had an issue withdrawing from an ATM and my debit card has always been accepted at the supermarkets. I opened the account this year and have no complaints. There is no charge to use the dollar debit card at their ATM to...

    Camping, Campgrounds in The DR?

    You've got some cool ideas and camping/glamping is an underdeveloped market here. Camping is suffering sometimes but it's a fun type of suffering. You can definitely make it more comfortable for your clients. Sure, security can be an issue but if you are in remote areas it's unlikely you are...

    Good hot dogs?

    Evidently Pricemart in Santiago has them in stock. Click here: Hebrew National I bought them a couple of months ago from there. Be aware sometimes their website is not accurate regarding what's in stock.

    Shipping EVs - Uncontrollable Fire

    Do you think the DR gov is going to require EV adoption? I expect it will be more of a free market issue driving demand.

    Shipping EVs - Uncontrollable Fire

    Big oil has huge power and they've been fighting successfully against EV's for a long while. Times are changing and the big automakers all have EV plans now. The number of EV models available for purchase in the US is expected to double next year with over 50 new models to be introduced. It...

    Shipping EVs - Uncontrollable Fire

    Lately with the Sahara dust or today? Today is clear blue. I've never had one stolen. Lent but not returned, yes. Anyway, I think you'd agree there's normally a work around to protect yourself and your property.

    Shipping EVs - Uncontrollable Fire

    I've seen an increase in EV's in Santiago over the past year. Cars, not motos or pasolas. As the price of batteries continues to drop were going to start seeing more two wheeled vehicles here as well. Many people will charge inside their house or marquesina. Some EV motos have removable...
