Just a note to say thanks to regular posters and contributors. From the feedback I'm getting the information and/or ideas are a great help to home builders in the LOS.......

I don't know how a gps would work exactly. An interesting aside is in the case of this plot of land, the measurements on the scale drawing on the face of the chanote were correct, only the computed area was incorrect.

There are three clas...

If you are buying any land with a chanote title deed you need to be aware that the stated land size (on the chanote) might not be accurate. This is especially true for land surveys that were done long ago (10 years or more). In any event, you can buy land subject to it being resurveyed by the land d...

I've thought about a blacklist. I would have an engineer, lawyer office and some others to offer up. Unfortunately not in the cards due to libel laws here and I'm not going to open that can of worms. Any 'bad guy' stories need to not specifically name the bad guy.. On the other hand nobody can stop ...

Are you doing a building project in the LOS. Post a few 'progress reports' and I'll add a topic which is specifically for your project.

Hi Benny:

Yes, I agree it would be nice. I'm hoping the 'specific recommendations' section of this forum turns into something like this.....
