Hello DR1ers, we're having a bit of a situation here on the North Coast. There's a bar located near a residential area. They play music every day from 7pm to 10pm(when we're lucky) or 12am on. We've called the police and it still continues. How would you advise about escalating the issue and...

Hello wonderful DR fans, First questions on solar 16 panel + 5kW inverser. - Sending back production, but still consuming, my production is low like 2-3kw per day even then... - Without consuming I send back about 12kw per day I consume about 26kw per day so in theory should bring down bill...

Hello fellow DR-freaks, Well, I have been studying pool maintenance, chemistry and sand filters for the past month or so and I'm shocked that stores don't seem to sell shock here? Basically non-stabilized chlorine. The idea is that once in a while for good measure or if you have an algae...

Been tried in Haiti with great success. Does any of use have any experience with this system? Isn't it just active carbon + membrane < 1 micron? www.ujeta.com

My stroller wheels have rusted to the point of collapsing! Two years of beach strolling were enough even though I kept rinsing, scrubbing and spraying anti-rust paint... Anyway, a new stroller is $90-100, while one wheel (3 needed) is $30 + shipping (US Prices). I must be missing something(?)...

Tried putting muriatic acid, boiling water, bleach, into the drain pipe but after a couple of weeks they are back. They only come from one floor drain hole.

After doing some research we decided to throw away a beautiful freshly caught barracuda. Apparently being on top of the food chain, it's very likely to be affected by the bacteria (1 in 3 in Florida!). I read that it's more likely found in larger predators 4.5lbs+. Does it mean it's safe to eat...

My Dad went to return his rental from PUJ to POP and they said it was missing a rug from the back seat. Obviously the rug was missing from PUJ but they claim that it was there and not noted upon the initial inspection. So.... I'm about to write up a "reclamation" for him. I thought this was...

I have an A/C leak, refilled in March for 400 pesos at David's tire shop, now August and it's out again. Is the one close to Esso still ok? It'd be nice if it's walkable distance from center. Or can it be fixed while I wait? I can also bring it to Torfilco in PP if they do A/C work? That way...

Got family taking the bus from Sos?a and they will spend a night in Boca Chica. What price should they expect to pay?

I'd like to get a few items rather large (windsurfing gear) but light. All prices are in USD. Items come from US. One is $196 with 35 shipping additional. One shipping company wants 33% of the value? Another is 150, can I combine shipping? Meaning an order of items under 200 dol which...

I just checked a few car renting companies for an SDQ to POP trip. Both Alamo and Avis charge a one-way fee (resp. USD 75 and 100), however Budget doesn't seem to be charging anything. Does this seem correct?

Hola fellow dr1'ers. We've been looking at houses around the Cabarete area (will consider suggestions max $200k). I am an addicted windsurfer and therefore need to be very close to the windsurfing centers. We are looking at three neighborhoods, Cabarete Center (which has more condos than...

Hi all, My wife and I will be moving to Cabarete in a few days now and I was wondering what pieces of electronics to bring over. I have two linksys wifi routers, one cable modem, pieces of network cable and phone, keyboards, mice, etc. How about plug strips and extensions? At a minimum...

Hi everyone, I currently have a US phone number, sim card and US plan as well as have a google voice account but not a separate google voice number (at least not yet). I would like to keep my US phone number if possible or at least get a US phone number when in the DR. Can I get a DR plan and...
