Awesome Lumber Yard in Maneadero (for those heading south)
I wanted to pass on some info that might help those who are building down south. 4baja pointed me in the right direction on finding this place and
after some legwork in finding their contact info, it was a great find!
The lumberyard is "Los Flemate" and is affiliated with "Construrama" I believe. It is located on the east side of Hwy. 1 on the second big turn south
of the Punta Banda turn-off. Their number is (from the states): 011 52 646 154 0741.
I called this place from the states and placed a pretty big order with them for pick-up on a specific date. I was worried that we would get there and
find our order not ready, or not complete, etc. Well, we arrived there and found all of our lumber bundled nicely and complete! What a relief!!! I can
not praise this place enough - excellent customer service and very helpful in every manner! Especially Marcella - she was my main contact due to her
speaking pretty good english.
Another thing - when we picked up our materials we were quite loaded down. My trailer was maxed out and we still didn't have our plywood loaded. To
make a long story short(er) - they had a truck going south and delivered the rest of our order to a contact in Vizcaino! For free!!!
One last thing for you people building - this place can get most lumber. We ordered 2x12x20's and 4x12x10, and other items that were 20' long. No
problema!!!
I hope this helps anyone building down south. I wish I knew of this place sooner! Good luck!!!

The quality of material and service at most yards in the area has improved greatly recently. Flemate in the past has been eratic but, I'm glad you
had a good time with them. I'll try them again when it's convenient.

Thank you, Pacifico. You are doing what I consider to be the primary function of The Bajanomad; providing valuable information that we can use in
Baja. Your post, I am sure, will benefit many nomads. If we can avoid having to try and get lumber through the border, what a relief this is!
I'm sure Dennis will agree with me in that we like your name.

Does anyone have an e-mail addy or a fax number for Los Flemate? I have tried calling and even when talking to Marcella I can't seem to understand
the letters she is telling me that is her e-mail address.
Thanks
