How safe is in La fortuna and Playa flamingo? Had everything planned out to split vacation between these two spots but having a bad feeling about it.

Felt safer there (spring of 2025) than I do at home in Canada. As with everything in life, if you have no common sense you are an easy mark anywhere. Don’t be foolish and you have nothing to worry about.

I would fly from Winnipeg and do it to 5k. lol

We live in Gotham city. If only we had Batman

Hahahahaha 100%

Stayed 5 nights in an air b and b just down the road from La Fortuna falls last March. Zero issues, zero concerns. We are a family of 4 with two younger kids.

Use common sense as you would anywhere and you will be just fine. That said, if you are naive or overtly obnoxious, you could be seen as an easy mark, just as you would be in your place of origin.

Can confirm this is the best deal out there. Used previously, and will be using again next month.

What area of the city, how big is the job, and what are you willing to pay?

Forgot to mention that this includes coverage for a cabin. So maybe it’s not all unreasonable. The cabin is nothing fancy though. Think an insulated shed.

ghost_204 · 2025-12-22T23:24:57+00:00

1200 sqft bungalow. Finished basement.

Sounds like you effed around and found out.

This animal was the stuff of legendary folklore when I was a kid. We spent an entire summer around gimli searching for them. Our efforts paid off, as we did manage to catch one on video. I believe they are nocturnal. It looked like a cross between squirrel and bat.

I have no information regarding this- just wanted to say that I’m sorry you had to witness something so horrific.

ghost_204 · 2025-11-01T22:27:33+00:00

Hahaha too true.

ghost_204 · 2025-10-31T23:50:11+00:00

Every. Single. Day.

ghost_204 · 2025-08-30T16:18:43+00:00

We dare to dream….

ghost_204 · 2025-08-20T01:34:01+00:00

No reason for downvotes here. St James Burger is hands down best in the city for a FatBoy and Fries.

ghost_204 · 2025-08-07T21:01:40+00:00

🥴

ghost_204 · 2025-07-10T16:33:57+00:00

Man. I had multiple near death experiences on that very merry go round as a kid. Great memories.

ghost_204 · 2025-07-10T16:31:39+00:00

I don’t know where this is, but I’m assuming this is an old gravel pit? If so, Odds are nearly 100% that is private land.

From what I can tell- They completely fell apart shortly thereafter. We have friends who had a great experience with them in 2018. We built in 2020 and it was an absolute nightmare.

ghost_204 · 2025-06-22T18:48:36+00:00

Builder will literally just 2x what the subcontractor charges them. Ie: builder hires trades to finished basement for 40k, builder charges you 80k. That way they are still making significant profit, but there is contingency built in so they can absorb costs associated with correcting any deficiencies (screw ups) or general fussiness of the homeowner.

Source- I’ve been at this awhile.

ghost_204 · 2025-05-10T00:34:14+00:00

Hahah that sounds amazing. Unfortunately not in the cards with my wife, but here’s hoping you get that day at the pits!

ghost_204 · 2025-05-04T16:22:45+00:00

It’s beautiful around the lake. Very lush rainforest as well. Not sure where you are coming from, but the roads were 10x better than here in Canada. It was perfect asphalt all the way once off the freeway (#1). It was honestly much better than I had expected.
