Good Job Mate Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺 If they use Speakers the size of fridges you would need 100 hectares to have silence

[@Handybucket]

Hey Adam! I am particularly adverse to "Duf Duf" thanks for making me aware and giving it such a good name. Those were 5 very good issues for consideration for sure when considering properties. We look forward to your next video.

[@jacquelinetrinder7892]

You are certainly doing your home work guys. Everything you are stating goes for any county you live in so its great advice. Hope you find your dream place soon ❤

[@LifeParaguay]

Thanks Jacqueline. We're working on it!

[@rl7586]

It’s like outback Australia 🇦🇺

[@JoshuaGablan]

Thanks Adam,around November I will be moving to Paraguay so this video is spot on!

[@LifeParaguay]

Awesome. I hope it helps.

[@lynetteking5382]

Great advice again Adam and Brenda.

[@WalterValdez]

Before buying a property you need to visit the place a Saturday night and check the noise level. Any soccer, volleyball field or any place for quinceaneras or weddings means a lot of noise.

[@LifeParaguay]

Great advice Walter. Thanks👍The good thing about the noise is that (in our experience) it's always been happy noise. People celebrating. As you say, sports, weddings.

[@WalterValdez]

@@LifeParaguay yeah, happy noises are OK, the problem is alcohol, and people screaming a Tuesday at 3:30 am. The other funny thing is that if you live in a hilly place the sound rebounds in weird ways.

[@ciscoterres717]

probably isn't as noisy as Friday and Saturday nights here in Austin TX. I have to wear noise-cancelling headphones to fall asleep.

[@Brad_Fallon]

That was a great talk about what to look for when buying land in a developing country that lacks the massive regulation and control systems most westerners are accustomed to. I'd much rather take care of my own interests, even if it meant making mistakes, than live in a nanny state as a tax slave.

[@LifeParaguay]

We're with you there Brad.

[@bercdemir2285]

Hi. nice report. Part of my list of due diligence is .... Determining if Geo-engineering/chem trails in the sky there? Ever?

[@LifeParaguay]

There seems to be the occasional fly-over but nothing significant.

[@Mpg972]

Enjoying your reporting !

[@ciscoterres717]

Are septic tanks a common system for waste for homes built outside cities? Or do they use something else? And is trash burning common in the country side or is there trash pickup services that can be contracted for?

[@LifeParaguay]

Septic tanks are common. In this region (Caacupe -Cordillera) there is an efficient trash pick-up service. Having said that, I believe some people do burn trash but it's not as common as we've seen in other countries in our travels.

[@estherbakker5500]

Hello! Great videos, thanks a lot! How do you make the inquiry to know what developments are in the near future for a particular area? Is there a registry, website or some organisation to call?

[@LifeParaguay]

I believe there is an online portal. I'll find out the url and if you ever need it let me know. Also, you will generally know an area is 'lotified' because the development company has their signs everywhere. There's a few big development companies that have all of their developments online. Sometimes the roads are marked out on Google Maps even though no building has commenced. Also, when you obtain a survey of the land it would be worth asking for demarcations of adjoining properties. As a matter of course it's wise to establish who owns what land on every side of the property you're interested in and inquire what their intentions are. Ideally you can obtain the assistance of savvy Paraguay person who can establish the lay of the land.

great video...what other types of construction designs have you seen ? they are pretty much the same inclined roofs, very Rustic, very typical countryside southamerican architecture, like there is no innovation being brought to Paraguay from EXPATS ...even the floorpans are everywhere the same right ?.... no snow there, whats the purpose of the inclined roofs... because of the heat ? maybe some flat roofs with nice rooftop terrace... Id love to see some NZ type farm sheds and barns houses being built in Paraguay, I think they could suite perfectly, whats your opinion ? would you built the same old rustic type of rural house or are you bringing ideas from NZ famous and practical designs ? cheers and hoping to meet you.

[@LifeParaguay]

Good questions. It's a massive subject. There's no snow but they do have massive rain dumps. Inclined roofs also allow for higher ceilings that can provide advantages with ventilation when fans are added. I love roof terraces but such buildings require a lot of material and engineering to support a terrace. Also, flat roofs, exposed to the sun act like heat batteries (because they're a slab of concrete on top of your house). Barns are beautiful but require a lot of building material and can be challenging to heat and cool. My opinion is the best solutions can be found mostly in the past. Dirt/clay, mixed with fibre (and maybe manure), sundried have been used for centuries here. Unfortunately most of those buildings were destroyed during the triple alliance war. But if you go to Granada/Leon (Nicaragua) those buildings are standing strong, provide incredible insulation, and will be standing in 100's of years. By incorporating traditional material together with steel frame and/or other materials such as aircrete, you could build a beautiful house, incredibly well insulated, vermin proof, fire proof...and dirt cheap. Much of the modern forms of building houses is a con. It's designed to make the supply multi-nationals rich, and of course, to keep the Govts in control. We need to bear in mind, that the climate cult lunatics are working toward banning or limiting everything so the solutions need to be simple, cheap and accessible to any country without the need to import material. Aircrete is an amazing material that can be utilized for roofs as it's light, insulated, strong, and can be shaped however you like. If you get a chance please check out the aircrete project I was involved with in Mexico at adirtcheaplife.com. No framing, nails, building paper, braces, studs were used. Just aircrete, stucco mesh. the secret is the curves. Man builds in straight lines, God builds in curves. Arches and domes are strong and self supporting. But even if you can't come at curved architecture you can still build amazing houses along more traditional lines. Once we find our land we will be producing a lot of content around the subject. That was actually the motivation for our name. We envisage building a house with mostly natural materials, aircrete etc...dirt will be a major component, and it will be cheap. The notion that people can build amazing homes for very little money without relying on the multinational supply companies is the globalists nightmare. There's our motivation.

You're no substitute for a lawyer. 2:48 But having dealt with a Latin American lawyer recently, maybe you are.
