Why are you wearing nail polish.

Do you want the truth or do you want an acceptable response?

[@carterxcash]

Why not wear nail polish? This is the takeaway from the video?

[@a.downing2791]

I had a house built in Merida. It was quality workmanship, but maintenance was always an issue due to the lime, etc. in the water, the heat, and the sun. Humidity takes its toll on furnishings,and the washing machines will need to have their filters cleaned of small debris from the lime silt. Also, drain the hot water heater every 3 to 4 months to maintain its life expectancy. Mine was located in an outdoor closet which was very handy so I didn’t need to hook up a hose to it for draining. You can use vinegar for the washer and dishwasher to prevent lime buildup too. Drain covers help with drain flies, but a safe solution like what was suggested will help. All in all, life in Merida is paradise. Enjoy!

[@TheMerryMisadventuresFamily]

Yes humidity and hard water definitely do a number on the homes out here! We have vinegar and baking soda stocked in bulk 😆

[@earthlycolorbrown6246]

Do share More! We are soon building from land up!

[@MIKExMASSACREx]

I would prolly install a whole house filter and water softener

[@philadelphian]

Danger! Gas water heaters must be vented to the exterior of the house. Otherwise, you are breathing carbon monoxide. That’s what kills people in their sleep.

[@TheMerryMisadventuresFamily]

Good to know! We are already trying to get the monoxide detectors but we’ll check to make sure it’s center outside

[@VIKOLINADAN]

I want you to thank KZbin's logarithm that thinks the content of this video would be of my interest, 😉. At around 8:10 the lady in the video says: "the conversion is getting worse", I believe that comment is open to debate because if you ask 150 million Mexicans they're going to say "the exchange rate is getting better, and now I can finally take my family on a vacation to Disneyland. My humble opinion, you guys are doing amazing. You live in a beautiful house, you have a beautiful family, you live in a paradisical place, and the average Mexican envies you because with all their hard work they will never live the way you do, and you're still complaining. I apologize for that comment, I just feel some people don't get to complain, I have friends that are making $200,000 and they keep complaining. You guys deserve what you have and more, my suggestion is to stop complaining, and be grateful for all your accomplishments. If the contractor would have built the house with very expensive materials the cost of the house would have been more expensive and by definition your rent would be more expensive. I guess I'm a perpetual optimist. Saludos de un mexicano.

[@TheMerryMisadventuresFamily]

You’re right we do live more lavishly than most other Yucatecans and Meridians here. The comment was purely selfish and only reflecting our viewpoint from what we used to be paying versus now. We certainly do not make 200k and there are plenty of Mexicans living here that are wealthier and live more expensively than we do. But we acknowledge our status and the privilege of being paid in USD. I’m happy things may be getting easier to afford for people accustomed to always using the peso. For us, we’ve had to adjust our budget….not a complaint. Just an observation.

Yes there are a lot of things we would do to upgrade the house. But because we are renting we are not sure we want to invest in the improvements

[@cylon5741]

Would a water filtration system make the tap water potable/drinkable without boiling? In Mexico City, in expat-filled areas, can one use a UV light apparatus to disinfect the tap water making it drinkable, or would Mexico City tap water have too many dissolved solids to use a UV light without filtration?

@@StreetcarDesire ahh okay i understand this perspective. It’s definitely something we struggle with as full time travelers and people who have left their home country. We try to combat it by supporting local businesses and shopping like the locals do as much as possible but our presence is inevitably going to change how things operate here

Can you flush the toilet paper?

[@TheMerryMisadventuresFamily]

No we have a bin on the side of the toilet to dispose of it. Some newer houses have better plumbing or water softeners where it might be possible to flush it but most don’t

@@TheMerryMisadventuresFamily How long did it take to get used to that? Seems really unsanitary.

[@TheMerryMisadventuresFamily]

@@worldobserver3515 many parts of the world are like this actually. We were already accustomed to it after living in Asia. You can easily install a bidet or “bum-gun” for a little extra cleanliness but it never really feels unsanitary

This is not affordable to locals. Please stop gentrifying México.

[@TheMerryMisadventuresFamily]

I know locals with way more money than us, paying much more. Unfortunately globalization is coming for us all. 🌎

We need to be honest as humans if you can’t afford it and you wanna say so go-head you not in EVERY LOCAL POCKET to know what they can afford or not .. we live in the world where there is GENTRIFICATION EVERYWHERE.. grow up

U paint your nails lol

[@TheMerryMisadventuresFamily]

Yes. Yes I do. And?

[@JesusGonzalez-wk3tp]

Hey brother no disrespect at all but i would like to know why do you paint your nails? I seen it a lot in California but have never asked and i saw you and im really wondering if theres a reason a meaning or just because you like it?

[@TheMerryMisadventuresFamily]

@@JesusGonzalez-wk3tp no disrespect at all. I appreciate you asking like a decent human being. A few reason: - I’m a guitar player that likes punk rock. - My daughter paints my nails occasionally. - Helps me not to bite my nails. - I work out often and do a lot of martial arts. Manicures and pedicures help take care of my hands and feet

[@JesusGonzalez-wk3tp]

@@TheMerryMisadventuresFamily Wow that makes a lot of sense now, i do have a beautiful daughter and i have let her done that to me as well hahaha😂, but the other reason is awesome, the one that helps not to bite your nails i think its an amazing idea! Thank you for answering and good luck out there in Mexico to yiu and your beautiful Family!!

@@JesusGonzalez-wk3tp yeah it really works! Definitely don’t want nail polish in my mouth 😆 and thanks so much. We appreciate it 🧡

Avg person in merida earns 10000 pesos a month so this is actually expensive. Not affordable.

[@TheMerryMisadventuresFamily]

Google says the average monthly salary in Mérida, Mexico is $7,000 Mexican pesos. Just did the math we make around $8,900MXN. 🤔 Something isn’t adding up.

[@bamkobe1]

You make less than $500 a month? You work for a Mexican company? You work for soriana or what? People in merida make trash salary that’s why they all live with their parents as adults.
