author: Insurance If you house burnt down, what would the cost be, per square mt to rebuild.
Adrian Kelly Presently (standard masonry construction) in the cadiz region is between €1300\€1500 per m2. This is an estimate of the material cost only and does not cover any possible demolition works that may be required. Contact us at conceptaw@icloud.com
3000e sq meter ****
Caution, If your house is illegal, it may not be possible to reconstruct it as you cannot get planning permission. There are a number of people who have had their insurance costs reduced because of this ****

(on another local expat site recently) author: My cellphone is falling to bits. Bits of plastic are falling off. Where can I go to get it fixed?
I think the humidity and weather here generally seems to rot some types of plastic and make them unstable... so if bits are crumbling off it might continue to do so.. you could try buying a strong case from Amazon etc to put it in which might hold it together ? ****
if you really want it fixed there is a repair shop in Los Gallos. Never used it myself ****
I had a Huawei phone and my Samsung Galaxy transferred all info over when I set it up ****
author: In all my ignorance, where would I buy a phone? How would I transfer my info from one to the other? my current phone is a Samsung Galaxy. I agree it needs replacing.
Old school mobile or smart phone? ****
Possibly cheaper to get a new one for 150 euros ****

Sounds like hardware, possibly graphics chip. What laptop and what OS? ****
author: It's a HP laptop and OS is Windows 11
I’m a Mac guy, so ymmv but is there any flicker of life on screen when you boot it? If no then new machine is cheaper. If yes it might hopefully be software, but that is the end of my knowledge on win machines ****
author: no flicker of life whatsoever. I will try the IT shop as a last resort, also in hope of recovering my data. Thanks.
it probably has a removable ssd at the last resort ****
IT shop 2 or 3 doors down from Kiras Tavern in Los Gallos ****
