Hopefully by the end of today, I will have a lot more done than everyone is predicting. I am leaving Rincon in a few minutes to travel to Aguadilla to do two things. That is my goal for today…simply two things.

  • Get ARPE paperwork
  • Transfer the water into my name from the previous owner of the house

The ARPE paperwork is apparently an official issue of building code etc that my plumbers and electricians will have to certify (down here, the inspectors are the contractors that do the job..but not all contractors can certify…so you need to find the right ones) when they are complete the job. My plumber already said that the house is good and that he’ll certify it as soon as I get the ARPE paperwork. My electrician is from Florida (thanks Brian!) but I will get a local contractor that is certified to come in and run the main hook up from my property line down to the house. I will have to notify the bank when I am ready for the electrical inspection…they will send over their own henchman for that job.

I will update you on how today goes.

Check out the map below, I will be heading to the Aguadilla ARPE office on the far left side.
