Wow! That was a mouthful, and I appreciate every word you said. I can tell you’ve had lots of experience there in CR. Paul and I haven’t had as much, but we can relate to many of the things you mentioned. Just from building a small home, which of course took much longer and many things weren’t done correctly, which meant more time having to re-do. When fill was ordered from the dirt company, they never returned my calls (about 5 calls) so I left messages…it was never delivered. We found out that about 8 months later (when we were back here in the states) someone dumped a pile of dirt on our front yard. haha! Yes, the work ethic is totally different there. But it is their lifestyle we choose to move into and so if we are determined to live somewhere so completely different to our U.S. “Nature”, it can be either “heaven or hell” depending on what our needs are at the time. You really brought home to me the differences and how it can affect us personally. Thank you GringoTico for all the information.
