Hello. One of my neighbours has painted his exterior walls with insulation paint called Nansulate. He is very confident about it. I am not sure. Has anyone else used it? Besos

Hola!, looking for a local (Mijas Costa) supplier of a Video Door/Gate Intercom system. The wireless working range must be at least 50m. Ideally with two colour monitors.Many thanks

Our water meter doesn't have a "door" to keep it covered and stop people meddling! I asked the waterboard and they say I have to buy one. Is that correct? If so, where would I find such a thing?

I have seen some neighbours with filters (some 2 and some 3) on their water pipes from their deposito. What are these for?

I have a new log store full with new logs for the next cold spell. Over the last week or two some of my logs have holes drilled in and I have just found out that it's the carpenter bees nesting. What can I do to prevent this happening?

Has anyone experience of changing electricity supplier from Endesa who must be rated the most difficult people to deal with. I had my supply cut off without warning despite having an active standing order which was accessed by them for the last 4 years? They now deny there is an SO which is a lie as my bank confirms it is still active. Are the alternatives any better and if so how does one go about changing?

I'm new to Torox, Costa Del Sol, and would like to buy some outside LED fairy lights to decorate the outside of my Chalet verandah. Where could I buy some?

Are we entitled to any compensation for the disruption in service when the Ayuntamiento cut the water to on a regular basis to save water.

I would like some suggestions of fast-growing climbing plants - not really keen on bouganvilla though!

Planted a few of these seeds in pots a few weeks ago and boy have they shooted up quickly - almost a 1/2 m tall. Too late to move them now but how high do they actually grow?

Can anyone suggest some good places in Malaga to buy good quality garden furniture? I already looked in Eroski, Leroy Merlin and Carrefour.

Does anyone know where I can buy a fitted carpet in the Malaga area,I know Leroy Merlin sell them but wondered if anyone of anywhere else?

Does anyone know whether the town halls arrange for pick up of large items of rubbish over here? I have a broken fridge freezer that I need rid of, but have heard that you can get fined if you just leave it for the normal bin collection.

I am moving to Estepona later this year, into a furnished house. I have some items which I will want to bring over, mostly clothes and personal stuff. Probably not enough for a van. What's the cheapest way of sending over this stuff? Help!

We are new to Torox and would like to know where to look/buy sun lounging chairs?

Hello, I just wondered what the average prices everyone is paying for their electricity and phone/internet bills? I'm currently with Telefonica for my phone line (Which never gets used) and internet, they are charging around €75 per month. Just wondered if this is a normal price and if there are any better deals/suppliers? Also my electricity bill, I'm in a 1 bed apartment (I do have the computer on all day for work but didn't think that would use very much) and my bill is between €80 - €100 per month, yet my aunt who is in a 3bed town house is only getting bills for around €70. I can't see how they can be so much each month! Does this sound like the normal amount to be charged? Thanks! :-)

Ooops I just brok the glass in the door of my woodburner. It is a big one 61.5 x 40cm. I have enquired and been given prices ranging from 40 Euro to 120. Has anyone else had this problem and what is a reasonable price. The 40 Euro verson seems very cheap so worried its not pecial glass?

Might be a daft quaestion but we have a woodburner and have never had one before. The chimney outside looks black and when I look at other houses theirs dont seem as dirty. Should I have the chimney swept every so often or is it not necessary unless you have a problem. the fire still draws and all seems ok.

I am looking for an lpg wall heater with a flue to the outside. Does anybody know where I can buy one from as they don´t seem to be available in my area. Many thanks.

have anyone seen "oasis" florist foam, the type which holds water and you push the flower stems into it.
