Hi Rich. Thanks for the advice! Unfortunately Frequency Converters are much much more expensive than Voltage Transformers. We have a 2000W voltage transformer already, but the frequency converters run in the several hundreds of dollars. I have already run my power tools intermittently off...

Hey I came across your response looking for a pretty specific answer. My wife and I are going to eventually wire the house for 110v, but I wondered if you had any issues with the frequency difference? 50hz vs 60hz to be specific. I have some audio equipment - a pre amplifier and a tube...

We had Telefonica, which was bought up by Movistar. We've been paying for 10/mbps package for years. Just ran some speed tests and we're lucky if we get over 1.5/mbps. We called and the operator checked it out and agreed that it was going way slower than it should. We requested a technician...

Hi Maja We're looking for someone to take care of our little girl (almost 3yrs) a few days a week. Would you be interested? We are located in Palermo - near Plaza Armenia - on the other side of Scalabrini Ortiz. What is your preferred rate per hour? Thanks so much! Devin

Hi Dani Saw your post and thought I'd reach out! We're looking for someone to take care of our little girl (almost 3yrs old) at least a few days a week. I know you're looking for full-time (8hrs a day I'm assuming?) and although we're not sure we can warrant a full-time gig, we can definitely...

Got a few: Not sure about your neighborhood though. 1.) I learned about most organic stuff here from the restaurant Catalino. They only use farm to table ingredients and include the name of the farms on the menu so you go out and support the farms yourself. It's in their interest for these...

Follow up: Not a single eye batted in our direction bring all my tools down here. Smooth as could be at customs. The customs officials probably saw my woodworking tools and felt sorry for me... Thinking I could make a living as a carpenter here. Haha Anybody know what carpenters make per...

Does one have to translate the local municipality documents as well? These are the 1st steps required to request for the apostille of the necessary documents in your home country (US in my case). E.g., I have both my marriage certificate and apostille attached to the county clerk...

Did anyone else have to translate all the local municipality documents required to request for the apostille of the necessary documents? E.g., I have both my marriage certificate and apostille attached to the county clerk notarization. The translator says he needs to translate even the...

Mine's 19 months. We're also in Palermo - near plaza latinoamericana. Perhaps a play group once a month to start?

So just to update - I went with the recommendations to purchase some better quality tools (table saw, planer, band saw). So thank you! We spoke with the shipping company and they actually had their affiliates go down to the customs office and show pictures of what I want to bring and they...

Annnnnd.... POOF. There goes my hope. Lol. Thank you for the insight though really. I have no idea what it's like - I did happen to find a hardwood supplier down there last visit but it indeed was super pricey compared to what I was accustomed to. I just thought I had found the pricier...

Thanks so much! That gives me hope and a bit of confidence in what I can bring down. Really appreciate it.

Thanks gang! Ries- Thanks for your insight! I appreciate the advice. I spoke with my wife's father who was an electrical engineer for many years and he told me I could probably get away with getting a 2000 - 3000w transformer with a thermomagnetic breaker to protect the transformer but I...

Hey gang I'm making the move down with my wife and child soon. My wife is an Argentinian citizen who just got a position in the UVA physics department. We've been doing some research about bringing our belongings with us and apparently we're allowed to bring all our stuff (including washing...
