It's nice that you record quite often, it's probably not easy when you have other things on your mind.
It's a pleasure. Learning lot's along the way.
Dear Kimmo and Mervi,
Thank you for sharing so many details regarding your land purchase, house build, and your perceptions as you embrace your new country!. This is very helpful to me as I consider a move to Paraguay! Great interview Adam!
Greetings from Georgia USA,
Peter Vecchio
Glad it was helpful!
Good stuff Adam. I like that you ask the right questions and you let them talk! Love the mindset of Mervi & Kimmo. Not siloing is important. Too many folks move here and keep a Western mindset. It's nice to grow micro-communities where we support each other (between Westerners but also between Westerners and local folks). I see Merci & Kimmo as trailblazers that will be joined by other folks. Thanks for doing part of the heavy lifting guys. Looking forward to checking the place. A note on the pool... if you never had one, be careful about what you sign up for. They are nice to look at / swim in but it's energy consuming (time, money, effort).
Hey Julien, thanks champ, appreciated. Haa, yes, try to let them talk. Overtalking is a symptom of a generation that is forgetting how to converse. We hear you about pools. I'd love to give a natural pool a go. Lot's of aquatic plants here so a natural filter could work well. I hope you guys are well.
@@ADirtCheapLifeParaguay I'm definitely up for a natural pool. Another couple is also up to it. Sounds like it wouldn't be hard to co-build one with a few families.
Looking forward to see you guys once we are back! Thanks for what you are doing to support folks out there.
I live next Encarnacion, I'm from Brazil. I would like to say firstly check the climate before going to Paraguay, it could be terrible in Summer for some persons from cold countries . About Paraguay folk? You will find all, honest and deshonest mainly in services, take care with big promises. In Summer don't expect hardworkes and I agree, is terrible work outdoor with 38°C . Mainly, don't go to Paraguay if you don't have any ability in hand works, mainly in house, you will need it.
Great video! Curious of pricing for the land talked about and the build pricing? Seeing lots of things online but not too much of land and build pricing. Cheers
Thank you for asking the right questions, waiting for your next video, cheers
Thank you pretty good Video, I had a Trip 2 Weeks 2013 to Paraguay directly in Cacupe it was beautiful .2 German Ladys running this little Resort with Pool little Restaraunt . Greeting Michael ... sorry for my bad English i`m from Germany .

Hola ihr Lieben, tolles Video.... Grüße von Michael und Tabea👍❤
Thanks everyone for another really helpful video. Wondering about rain water tanks instead of wells although I hear the ground water is very pure and plentiful. Cheers from FNQ.
Good question. Tanks are used, but wells are also very common. Tanks, fittings, pipes and spouting aren't cheap and plumbing is not as advanced here. Also, many houses do not have spouting. Due to the pure underground water sources wells are generally preferred in conjunction with small holding tanks.
@@ADirtCheapLifeParaguay it sounds a bit like Goa India, almost no-one has spouting/guttering there either. We cut plastic water pipe length ways for guttering and fixed it to the veranda so we didn't have to run the waterfall gauntlet over the entrance when we were going out or coming home during the monsoons. Our house was/is a very very old Portuguese building, very very basic and sounds a bit like some of the old Spanish influenced homes in Paraguay. Looking forward to your next video. :)
@@deborahmaurer9163 That's interesting, thanks. Yes, there's similarities with here and Portugal. As you know, the Spanish inspired houses generally aren't designed to accommodate the brackets that hold spouting. Apart from wasted water the other issue this can cause is it dumps loads of water around the house foundations and this promotes wet foundations which lead to rising damp.
Good video! Lovely family, kind of them to share. Even the dog :)
Love the Si acknowledgement. You have been Paraguayanised mate 😂
Another value packed video, thanks guys!
Cheers!
Thanks👍🏼
No problem 👍
vicious dog attack at @37:33 🤪
Yes, Ossi got a bit excited. Those big chompers are impressive.
Another great informative video. The winter clothing frightened the life out of me lol you must be well climatized if 15 degrees is cold 😀 Paraguay sounds more appealing by each video.
I've become very soft.
What makes it cold is cold inside. If you have 15 degrees outside and inside it's pretty fresh. And 13-15 degrees at night in your sleeping room.
@@finnlandverstehen4328 I was having a little dig at Adam as it gets really cold here in NZ so was funny to see everyone rugged up for 15 degrees.
double brick....what is the purpose/thinking? are they the hollow brick? Is there an air space between that is ventilated?
Solid, double brick. Better insulative qualities.
How do you prevent the "gringo tax" when buying building materials?
My experience is that people in Paraguay are surprisingly honest. For exemple, it has happened to me several times that I have given too much money in the shop or at the fruit market and they always have given me extra back.
When you are buying materials there are fixed prices just like everywhere else. In our case preventing "gringo tax" (which I don't really see here) is that we bought the house as a package. We paid to our constructor and he took care of purchases.
what was the temperature when you taped this?
About 16 degrees. Not very cold, we have just gone soft.
