Today I went to my favorite store, Almacenes Unidos to buy a vegetable spiral cutter and some other things. I grab a basket and started looking for the item. You would think it would be in the section with other kitchen items, but after a few mins of going up and down rows I asked a store...

I live close to the Malecon and someone is always burning something there. Today the smell was strong and when I looked out my window I could see smoke. I wasn't worried about the fire but the smoke was starting to enter my place. I closed the windows and took a walk over. I could see the fire...

Has anyone here had experience with PEX water supply lines (installing or using them) Also what are alternatives to using blocks for interior walls? I know drywall, but do they hold up in a high humidity environment? I mean would it require more maintenance than a block wall. 

I've always been under the impression that it is more energy efficient to run your heating or cooling system all day instead of turning it off. For those that use multiple split systems or central AC  do you leave it on all day, and at what temperature setting?  I'm not talking about extremes...

Just want to pass on my experience with this 24 hr veterinary hospital. Last night my GF's dog had an allergic reaction to something. Around 11:00pm I looked at him rubbing his face against the floor violently. I thought he had something in his mouth, but when I turned him over his face was...

A little something for Duarte Day. I've passed the Plaza Juan Pablo Duarte many times on 27th but never saw an entrance. Finally found the way in. It's a great plaza with an amphitheater. I had some great shots of the entire area, but forgot to hit record. Dumbass. Still I think it turned out...

After a 6 months I finally have my residency card. The process could have been 2 months if I didn't have to wait for documents I thought I didn't need because they were not on the list of documents needed. What I'm confused about is when I turned all my documents in, the young lady who was...
