Article by Mike Williams Termites! We’ve all heard of them or experienced them in one fashion or another. For some, these insects are nothing more than a problem that others deal with. For others, termites can be a costly and time consuming problem that must be treated. When identifying the total cost of termite treatment, [...]
Article by Termite Police The desire of a homeowner is to maintain the superb quality of his house. This is, however, not a simple goal to achieve especially when poor maintenance is done. An infestation by the white ants can result in total house destruction. When thinking of maintenance, one should start by thinking about [...]
Article by Magssno Should you suspect that you might have termites infesting your property ignoring them could be most costly mistake you ever make.

As with numerous other types of bug infestations, many people finding themselves with a termite infestation assume that they can buy a termite treatment from a store and do the job themselves. Well, in some circumstances where there is a infestation in a relatively small structure, well away from the main building this might be [...]

How can I transfer this beautiful visual into the confines of my house? Easy! Simply add a hammock! A hammock is only a long piece of fabric, rope or netting tied [...]

The most important step necessary for building a playhouse is choosing a good spot. When we build our sweet home, location seems to be our first priority. In the same way while building a playhouse we should also give importance to the location and spot. It is essential to have good playhouse plans to choose [...]
Dog doors are extraordinarily handy to your dog to wander in and out of the house whenever your canine wishes to. Your canine needn’t bother you to open and shut doors to go exterior whenever your dog desires to, as a substitute your dog can merely outside do his business and come back when he’s [...]

Go figure – of course I read another book (I should knock out another one before I leave). The Secret History of the American Empire – A. A book about the corruption and pressure that results in corporations essentially “running” the world. It scares the crap out of me.
June 6th – July 1st With little else to do, the beginning of the week was just spent in Achuapa doing the normal socializing and lounging about – my now super familiar routine. When Wednesday finally rolled around, I headed to Chinandega to meet with Luis. He went from being completely in love with Costa [...]
May 3rd – May 13th Due to the lack of projects going on, this weekend I spent an inordinate amount of time in the cyber. Some of these days I would sit back and think, “What am I doing?” Here I am in another country – why don’t I take advantage of my last months [...]
September 21st – September 27th
Sleep deprived (Brie’s dog made tons of noise all night long and thus prevented a good solid sleep), I caught the morning bus back to Achuapa. Once back, I left my stuff at my neighbor’s house and borrowed a bike so I could get my keys from Johani’s house. [...]
January 13th
Nothing exciting today. Movies, planning for my English classes – then neither of my students showed up.
January 14th
Brie suckered me into going to El Sauce since they have the most famous “Black Christ” in Central America, so I hopped the 8 AM bus down to El Sauce only to wait around because we had [...]
January 7th
After waking up early, heading to the gym, and unsuccessfully trying to get a haircut, I headed to Malpaisillo to hang out for half the day. The next day I’ll head to León for a meeting with all the volunteers of León. Essentially it’s a meeting for us all to complain about stuff we [...]
January 5th
Aside from going to the gym, I got decked out (it’s been awhile since I’ve gotten dressed up) and did some errands. I stopped by the primary school (first day back for teachers, or so I was told) where I talked with the directora and the sub-directora. While chatting away with them, something caught [...]
January 2nd
Nothing exciting here. Just the gym, cyber (can’t believe the Broncos lost), and went to Johanni’s house to peel oranges/do nothing with her and her family. I have been planning (rather passively) for my parents visit as well. So that has helped me pass the time a bit as well.
I also thought about [...]
December 25th
Christmas began in a rather nonchalant kind of way. Since you wouldn’t know it was Christmas here unless you looked at a calendar, I’d forgotten until I turned on the NBC 6 South Florida news. Without the presents, tree, family, and cold weather, Christmas felt like anything but Christmas – more like one of [...]
December 18th
Nothing exciting here. I woke up at 4:15 today to go running with Edys only to show up a bit late because I had to slay some dogs in my yard (or at least that’s the way it went in my head). The way it actually boiled down was that there was a group [...]
December 16th
Now with the desire not to sleep until 9 everyday (though after not sleeping in for 7 months, you’d think I’d want to), I’ve started a running routine. Given that my huge runs (10 km, or 6.25 miles) are on Thursday’s, I give myself a little break and run around half that [...]
December 13th
Yordanka wanted to run with me this morning and after running 1 km she told me she felt like vomiting – so much for my morning jog. While I didn’t get much out of it, I bet I could count the running session as some kind of secondary project. I mean, I did teach [...]
Just found out today that nobody had paid for our mailbox since 2005, so there is a debt of 1,000 cordobas. So hold off on sending anything until we all get this sorted out.
December 9th
Today was by far the most productive day I’ve had in weeks – and that made me super happy. Originally I was going to wake up at 4:30 to go jogging with my buddy, but I abandoned that involuntarily by not setting an alarm. With that out of the way, I headed to [...]
December 5th
In the U.S. when something unjust happens, it’s accepted that people will go out on the street corner and bitch and moan until the head of the organization that did the shafting says, “O.K. guys, they caught us, let’s stop being the total asshats we were trying to be.” Here in Nicaragua, that isn’t [...]
December 1st
As you’ve (hopefully) quickly come to realise, I’m on vacation. That being said, I’m doing very little.
Today’s highlights include my friend Kenia telling me that me with no hair makes me look nicer. I also got a similar comment from somebody who works at the enormous pulperia. This makes me think – do [...]
November 28th
After waking up and taking an amazing shower in “U.S. embassy resort” (I can’t think of anything more appropriate to call it), I got a ride to the Peace Corps office in the U.S. embassy vehicle that picks up the DCM. I hung out in the office for a bit, picked up some more [...]
Oh yea, and another volunteer got medically separated last week. So we started with 20 in our small business group, and now we’ve got 14.
So last night me and 7 other volunteers ate Thanksgiving dinner at the Deputy Chief of Mission, Richard Sanders’ house. He lives in the incredibly posh Santo Domingo neighborhood of Managua - a neighborhood that none of us had ever seen before. The compound he lives in itself is absolutely amazing. We go through an [...]
