    Thank you Sir, I was aware of that company but we have a Guy where I come from also has something similar I will check him out first for price and availability and then decide what would be best, I have just been informed Wedo only has one man and you need to give him assistance in the lifting however that is not confirmed yet?

    Maybe I have been lucky twice over someone on DI spoke with me this morning and he knows the property I am getting and also the owner, and suggested to me that the owner is a straight person, of course you never can tell if you will really like a place until you live there, I was happy with the house I have now and it is good but the area of Mactan has become too congested, hence the reason I chose Valencia it is totally opposite from where I am going to live now.

    I don't know about that. Grandpainak will have to tell you. I would come help you lift but the heaviest thing I lift anymore is an ATM card.

    That can end up being quite the workout depending on your SO.

    My first wife was a stay at home mom. My daughter was about 6 and my wife said she was out of money. My daughter said, "Well Mama, if you are out of money, you just have to go to the bank and get some more." My ex wife explained to her patiently, "No honey, it's not that easy. You have to write a check too." They both still understand money the same way today. My present SO has not quite figured out the relationship between her money needs and my trips to the ATM, but I think she is beginning to suspect something.

    Hi,
    Can I ask you is the name of your Airbnb host Thierry ? If so have you stayed there before?.

    Exactly! There are few for rent or for sale signs here in Valencia. Most are not listed at all, let alone listed on FB. We had a Valencia-based trike driver take us around. He asked everyone wherever we went if they knew of anything, and invariably they did.

    Also, do not shy away from overpriced rentals. In the end the house we liked the best seemed overpriced and it had been "on the market" for several months. We offered what we considered a more reasonable price and they accepted.
