Brian Timmons Dear friends, When I started Residencias Los Jardines, I started writing a weekly newsletter -determined to tell all the good, bad, and the ugly. I knew some readers would be interested in the construction process. I expected others might be interested in the lifestyle of two people who had decided to live outside the box. For others, the adventures of Lita, the parrot and the cat took on an entertainment saga all its own. Residencias Los Jardines is finished. We periodically have re-sales and rental availability. Some readers may be interested in this information. Brian Timmons |

rentals & sales Paradisus Condos / Rohrmoser Each of the units consists of two bedrooms / two bathrooms, and a large living/dining/kitchen area. The floor plan of each of these units has eliminated the optional "den / office" divider. The result is a larger area offering more flexible furniture arrangements while still maintaining the option of including an office area. At 105m2 plus two parking spots each and storage locker, they offer a great opportunity for someone seeking views, security, central location, and first class, all round living...

Our Lives
What Happened This WeekWeather: Normal... the wind's showed up... StoriesSecurity Cameras: Still on my list of "to dos". Doneste Administration: No response from owners. The meeting agenda is now prepared and sent. Foreclosure: I wait. Hope for the Future: I may have found a solution for my replacement. I am cautiously optimistic. Too early to tell... I was told the person I am looking for doesn't exist... I never accepted that assessment... and now have proof... we'll see. Investment Business: Looked at a lot of opportunities but most were not of interest for me... I have also interested an owner / friend so spent time educating him and introducing him to the business and the people I work with. We found one that might work and another repeat of a short term deal has presented itself. Interesting to see what is on the market... Power Outages: The Valentine day outage was caused by a power pole which was blown down in the wind. Why the cause was of the two subsequent power outages for several hours each is unknown. ICE, the power company, has a horrible record -at least in our area... this has renewed my priority of getting a generator large enough for portable water and for gate operation. This is feasible and will be looking into it. Ideally it would be a self contained / muffled / propane powered unit which would come on automatically... One large enough for the entire complex is probably too expensive for us and a luxury we can forego... for now. Garden Pictures: Attached are some garden pictures as of Feb. 1. Additional pictures will be added over the next newsletters: |
