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: Transitioning into the rainy season... winds have died and clouds gather many afternoons... we have had several showers and grumbling skies several times this past week. We will start preparations for this change in seasons after Semana Santa... StoriesCovid-19 -Los Jardines: 553 confirmed cases and 5 related deaths. It seems that ticos are happy with government's rapid and definitive response... I am not aware of anyone protesting -despite the "lock down" which is tighter this weeks due to Semana Santa (Easter -the biggest holiday of the year), many are at the beach (normal) even though the beaches are supposedly closed. Regardless, very limited driving is permitted and definitely rationed by plate number and seemingly enforced. When your plate is allowed to move, you can go to a pharmacy or grocery store... not much more. Needless to say, the hammock has seen a lot of my butt... I love it...!! Supposedly, travel restrictions are suppose to be eased by Monday... we'll see. Project -Revising the Shareholder Agreement: This is now on my desk... I am running out of excuses to do it. At the very beginning, I edited / wrote a document re. how we manage ourselves... like the condo documents required even though we are a corporation we operate like a condo. Over the years, various changes via shareholder decisions / resolutions have been made -they have never been incorporated into the document and the document has never been translated into Spanish. Since a goodly percentage of our shareholders are now Spanish first language, this document should be translated, but first it should be updated. The lawyer had the project for 1 1/2 years... he didn't finish... he turned it over to me... |
