Building in Formentera

The prices of construction are about 30 to 40 % higher in Formentera than on mainland Spain the two main factors influencing this hike in cost are transport of materials and lodging cost both of which impact the construction price.

Alot of the work is done by immigrants which for the most part are semi legal (they don't have a NIE) in the country these will ask form 7 to 13 Euros an hour. But be aware that if you are caught employing a person which dos not have social insurance YOU and not him will be fined up to 30 000 Euros per person.

Stone Walls

Stone wall work only 1m X 1m X 60cm from 60 to 70 Euros (this dos not include stones or cement) and the price goes up if the height exceeds 1.5m.

You can expect to pay about 25 Euros per m3 of stone and add about 45 Euros for transport as well as 39 Euros for the loading.

Notes:

There are different styles of stone wall building, the original Formentera style uses stones taken from the land which are practically not worked with the stone hammer unfortunately unless you have stones on your land or buy old stones you will have to revert to buying stones which have been quarried these have to be extensively worked and ake walls which give a less natural aspect which I refer to as the Arab style.

Water Cistern

You can roughly expect to pay 200 Euros per M3 of cistern

Notes:

To calculate the size of your water cistern assume a daily water consumption not including garden watering of about 120 per day per person .

Nazi Fuel Bunker in Formentera

During the Spanish Civil War (1936 - 1939) Formentera suffered from heavy fights against the nationalistic troops of Franco, Nationalist troops supplied and reinforced by Mussolini's ships and planes eventually attacked Formentera and a notorious Italian platoon who called themselves the Dragons of Death began slaughtering left-wing sympathisers. Eighteen Formenterencs were shot, while at least five died in Nazi concentration camps. Investment in the island stopped, leaving the inhabitants operating at subsistence levels. From 1939 to 1942, Formentera became a concentration camp for political dissidents from mainland Spain awaiting execution.Wich I will cover in another post. Apart from that there was a Nazi radio station and a hydroplane base on an interior lagoon called "estang des pudent "(because it stinks of rotten eggs) bellow a picture of the Fuel Bunker which was used to refuel the planes one of which crashed in the lake.

How the EU funnels your tax payer money away

It is common knowledge that the EU has failed its audit over and over again winch in it self is to say the least a sign of mismanagement but the problem is much deeper.

Let me try and explain how it works, an accountant just checks if the transactions can be accounted for all he or she dose is count and account. There is no questions asked concerning the purchase price of the goods.

This is where no lets imagine a corruption scenario, an EU official wants to make money with his EU friends and some non EU players.

Creating the specification:

This is a fundamental part of the scam, the specification is tailored to make any other bidder to the tender fail so that the chosen bidder can win easily on a technical basis it also has to be sufficiently vague to enable easy over billing.

Creating the company structure.

The best way is to buy a failing business with a history, it makes it less evident that this company is just a cover for the operation.

Then you need to have the hand on the individual that will define if the tender was technically compliant
this is where you give the "coups de grace" to any competition and you award the contract and make a hefty profit at the expense of the poor EU citizens.

Oh and you the EU citizen has no right to see the sale contract according to an EU directive.

3D is Now

3D is the natural next step in enhancing the users interactive experience, be it watching a movie or sport content but as your TV and computer start to merge it also becomes the future of OS user interface. You will have a 3D desktop that goes into depth beyond the flat screen and objects and control elements will "pop" out at you in 3D.

In the realm of virtual desktops we are already here, products like Real desktop or already provide this "visual" effect but its the next step which is going to revolutionize the way you interact with the on-line world and your hardware.

You will have the impression that objects will float in the air in front of you and you will be able to rotate move and interact with them, in the beginning the mouse will be replace by a camera that will be able to follow your fingers and eyes to move and interact these new 3d objects, later you will wear something that looks like a head band it will be able to read your mind, you will just think of an action and it will be executed.

All the technology is her even the 3D screens Philips just came out with a model but a a heft price of 8000 + USD.

Now the only thing which is holding us back is the price of the technology and the speed of processors both of which will be resolved in the next two years.
