repairs

Good evening all, Buying a used car anywhere is a serious buyers beware matter and I daresay buying a used car in Bali has some extras. But here's the thing. It seems that motor cycling in Indonesia is a rather hazardous occupation and more so with extra considerations for a Bule. Late...

Just heard that a bridge on the road from Denpasar to Gilimanuk collapsed partly. Don't know details but if you have to go to the harbor better get info first.

This subject is discussed on another thread but was off-subject. Anyone know what it contains and what to avoid...opinions please.

Hi All I was wanting to know what rights (if any) we would have as renters when we lease a property for say 12 months in Bali. I know that in many cases there is some form of contract signed and on occasions a Notary is involved. My question is as a foreigner if the landlord decides he...

Realizing that this subject will touch on controversy; I will take that risk. I live in West Bali and have for nine years after leaving Mas-Ubud. Having seen everything else on the island I wouldn't trade here for any other location in Bali. We all have our preferences (ok, idiosyncrasies), but...

Hi Guys, Any one have advice on how to repair the stone surface of Batu Sikat? The small stones have lifted and the Contractor who did the work has vanished (so much for the guarantee). It seems the repair work is too small for other Batu Sikat contractors, so I have to do it myself as the...

I searched the forum but didn't come up with any answers. Basically, my kindle died on me and I need a kindle. It isn't even a want sort of thing it is a need like food and water. Anyway, I manage a work around on the ip issues by just connecting to my brothers account and paying him to buy me...

Halo Everyone, I was hoping to get some advice about the standard guarantees given from builders/developers after completion of new houses. I'm just about to sign up to building a new house in Denpasar and they only guarantee the building for 1 month after completion. Basically, I don't...

As all people living (or havong a property) in the area the Banjar supervises, their are things that need to be paid and also demands for donations for celebrations and stuff. Up till now, I never had to deal with this, as this was taken care of for me, but as from now, I have to take care...

The pride of Indonesia, PLN, has once again blacked our street out twice in the last week. Each blackout was no doubt preceeded by a lengthy brownout. As a result i have 2 new aircons both with the electronic control units inside of them fried (indoor AND outdoor in each case). Cost of...

Anyone know of a decent repair service around Sanur / Denpasar region? Our flatty went on the blink a couple nights ago, just started randomly turning off and on. Thought it was a prelude to the Mayan night of fireworks planned for last night but still it persists! Cheers, Mark.

Have recently bought a house in Kerobokan and would like to rent out yearly, as we only go to Bali for 1 month each year. We bought the house for later, when we can semi-retire and spend 3-4 months in Bali. Our friend/caretaker is helping with some minor repair jobs and we are looking...
