hey bud, how goes it up there. I was up in nosara a few weeks ago visiting some friends. i rarely head up to guanacaste though; mostly stick to the southern zone. los suenos, manuel Antonio, drake bay, golfito. i know that store in san jose but i don't deal with them. i know some guys who buy from them but i import all of my materials. i own a shipping company and we're able to avoid customs taxes so it's a lot cheaper and easier for me to just import what i need. plus that place has a very limited selection and the prices are almost double that of the u.s. shoot me a message anytime. glad to help.

That snake may scare me away! Yikes! 
That was pretty smart Scooby starting a shipping company to cut costs or was it a nice coincidence?
I have been looking into this as much as I dare lol as my family is hesitant and I am trying not to nag but is it nagging to point out we could be living cheaper in a much chiller country?

the shipping company kind of just fell into my lap. we were shipping so much stuff in for ourselves and our building projects that i had other friends and developers start asking me to do it for them. hire 2 hot girls and let them run the show. the key is we can bring almost anything in and avoid the 33-52% customs tax. we can cut building costs by 40%. so essentially it cost you $1,000,000 to build a house you have to sell for $1,300,000. i can build the same house for $700,000 and sell it for $1,100,000 and still make more money than you. the key is how we avoid customs taxes. that's my ace in the whole.That snake may scare me away! Yikes!

I've posted plenty. right now i'm working on a remodel project about 3 hours from my house. don't get back much. kinda letting my helper take a crack at his first flower. only 6 plants though. he's doing alright for his first time. couple rookie mistakes. i'll be back to full time harvest once i get the materials list and quotes together for this remodel. i'll do a run then and that will probably be it for a while as i'll be onsite down here most of the time.

I also noticed on an eco housing site they mentioned they could actually live on the beach and then a real estate site calling some properties titled... huh? does this mean eco friendly housing is cool right on the beach!?

Still messing around with the video. YouTube rejected half the songs I had on the video so I have to change them around. Edit the footage a little more. Here are some cool pics of the last time we went. We brought a small spear gun with us. They have 2 types of fish in the pond that are really great pan fried. "Machaca" which is almost like a trout but more boney. "Ronkadors" are smaller and tend to stick to the walls and crevices. Both are delicious.

I can't seem to enlarge photos anymore; anyone having the same problem. Today is a holiday in Costa Rica (Labor Day) so we busted out the air rifle and took out some of the iguanas that have been eating the fruit out of our trees. They're going on the grill in about 15 minutes.
