    I did some research on the Aquamix website. I do not have true saltillo tiles, but I do believe that need to be sealed, because when I damp mop them, they absorb water. I want to buy a penetrating sealer (like Aquamix) and apply with a sponge. I hope to be able to buy a product in Costa Rica, so I don’t have to transport 3-4 gal. from the States. Any ideas? Thank you for your response.

    Have you ever had experience with a ceramic tile that needs a penetrating sealer? I have this type of tile and I need some advice regarding this. Can I purchase this sealer in Costa Rica? Where? and what is the brand? Aquamix is a good one in the US, but is it available in Costa Rica?
    Thanks

    While my Costa Rican friends are all enamoured of very shiny surfaced tile, I’m scared that it’s a slip hazzard. When we did our house recently, we only considered tile with a good rough surface for that reason. It’s a little harder to mop, but it’s easier than a hip replacement.

    Did you use a penetrating sealer on your new floor? Thanks

    We purchased a bed and nightstand from ‘Muebles Rústicos Torres’ and are very happy with it. When he delivered it from Sarchi to Atenas (free), he took time to properly set up the bed. In addition, we bought a boxspring and a good quality mattress mattress from him for a great price(I think that he may have a “distributors license” to sell the Jiron products). We are happy with that shop and will purchase further items there.

    Exactly how will this effect my CD in Banco de Costa Rica when the CD matures?

    Thanks to John and David for the information. If I do not see an ICE kiosk at SJO, I’ll go the ICE office in Atenas. I’ll let you know about the process.

    I have a Pantech Matrix, which is unlocked. Do I need to go to ICE and open an account to get a sim card for Costa Rica or can I buy a prepaid sim card?

    Is a different telephone number issued ?

    [quote=”ottfog”]If you gift them a Blackberry you must also gift them the receipt from the purchase as they will have to show the receipt in order to establish service. If they already have service, their is a good chance that they can unlock the Blackberry and then swap simm cards. When I travel to Costa Rica, I swap out my ATT simm card for my ICE simm card when I land in CR and have no problems. Having said that, I do not have a data plan with ICE; I just have regular phone service. Good luck, Jerry[/quote]

    Where did you get your sim card? And do you have an ICE account or is it possible to buy a prepaid sim card? Last question, do you keep the same US phone number?

    Our attorney simply sent an email to all of his clients informing them of the law and the requirements of filing. This year is our first of having a corporation to own property/Live and Learn! I appreciate all of the feedback on this forum.

    Do you mind giving me the name and location of your attorney? Mine is charging 450.00$ to do this for us. We just purchased property this year.
    Thanks
