Van and / or Tour guide
enorden@prodigy.net.mx writes

A while back someone recommended a van and / or tour guide for Mexico City. I recently hired the gentleman for a trip to Mexico City and was delighted with his prompt and attentive service and his professionalism. He can also take care of travel and tour logistics for groups, both in Cuernavaca and Mexico City. He works with individuals and companies, speaks English very well and is knowledgeable and informed.

His name is Oscar Leon

Cleaning your Toilets

This is not an earthshaking problem, but I don't think I'm the only one who has it, due to the mineral content of our water. If anyone else has the problem of stains in the toilet, which make it look dirty, try this.

I just got it clean for the first time in years with DeSox, desmanchador de oxido para pescinas. There's a picture of a dolphin on the label, and it's available at pool supply stores. It's used to clean tiles at the water level in swimming pools. Using rubber gloves, line the bowl with paper towels soaked in the liquid and leave them there for half an hour. Then scrub with a green ScotchBrite pad.

Carpenter

Recently we had to replace some beams, repaint and cut them to size. The highest quote we had was $7,000 pesos and the lowest was $3,800. However, we got it done by an excellent tradesman from Yautapec for $2,100 paces. He not only cut them to size, but first applied termite poison, then
the base paint and finally, the "brillo". We not only saved quite a bit of money but got excellent workmanship and are well satisfied with the job.
It seems that if we get workers from the surrounding areas, they are half the price that Cuernavaca workers demand. Well, maybe it just seems that way . . .
His name is Javier Martinez (Yautapec) 01 7353 94 44 66. Sorry, he does NOT speak a lick of English and communication was a little difficult.

I purchased a new Dell computer from Roger Enríquez he installed it quickly today. He helped me "build" the thing with Dell. It arrived in exactly a week, and is what I am writing on today. His English (and Spanish, of course) is fluent. He is most competent and pleasant to work with -- fun, even.
