We purchased a home in Merida in June this year. We had 4 air conditioning splits installed after the purchase, to cool the rooms we could close off. After they were installed, our very knowledgeable and reputable electrician determined that there is not enough power coming in to the house from CFE to operate more than one split at a time. The entire neighborhood has the same problem with power. In order to get this resolved, CFE told us to write them a letter and obtain the signatures of 10 neighbors, which we did. When presented with the letter CFE told us that they are out of money for 2011 and it will have to wait until 2012. The OXXO on the corner, 4 houses from us, has plenty of power. All we need is a transfer on the pole in front of our home. Any suggestions on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated!!

Nikkie, if you have an answer for your pool matter, please write it here as well. I am also very interested about the cost.

Nickie, of course the answer to your question depends on many things. The size, whether the pool is filtered or not, the finish, the design. We suggest perhaps that you call Mercedes Sanchez, the architect of our house. She speaks English and could perhaps answer you after a brief discussion. You can find her contact information at http://www.architectsinyucatan.com.

I’m looking at a lot of very nice properties on the web in Merida for reasonable prices but they do not have a plunge pool in the back yard. Do you know what the approximate cost would be to build and install a plunge pool if the yard is basically flat and reasonably cleared?
