I agree with the Duo. I have seen some mighty fine cabinetry work. I like the clever use of Cardon and Organ Pipe.
Heck aren't those oak cabinets a thing of past generations?:lol: I just hope they ARE made in the USA

Buy local and save the hassles....they're better anyhoo!


I brought down some Home Depot-type cabinets for my first Baja house a long time ago. The termites loved them for 5-6 years..and went looking for another meal. Then I ordered some custom-made local stuff..the termites are still loving them, but so do we.

It's fun to do the planning and design yourself, then go find the great craftsman in your town...just look for the woodshavings! I can recommend at least 3 great woodworkers in Mulege. They have made us bookcases, kitchen cabinets, computer desk, corner wine cupboard, dressers, dining tables, chairs, etc...nothing they cannot do and do well.

Water heater


has anyone seen or purchased from Home Depot in Baja one of those tankless whole house propane water heaters (ThermaStar, I think)??? If so, what was the cost (US=$425) and how does it work??.

Actually since we have the trailer we haven't hooked up the whole house one yet but....

The point of service one is all set up.

I had my neighbor install it in his palapa.
It works great.

These things use very little propane because they only heat when water goes thru them.

It does take about 10 seconds to heat the water at the faucet 20 feet away. I think I would have mounted it closer if I had known.

these are grate and very fast work on wood, charcoal or LP if you have a small weed burner.

I had one at my ranch that would run on used motor oil or diesel.

BS
All of the hot water on demand units I have seen(in Europe) were mounted over the toilet. Would it be feasible to mount them outside. This one looks like it is in a garage or storage room...something not exposed to the elements. They make soooo much more sense. Who wants to pay for keeping water hot that you are not using but the logistics of mounting them has always puzzled me.
Thanks
