Hello, I am looking at purchasing a property in C.C. and was wondering if anyone could tell me what the average costs are for electricity? It is likely I would only be staying there 6 (winter) months of every year. I have heard electricity can be very expensive so I would like to know monthly costs on average and even if there are other energy alternatives that some are using on the island. Also, can anyone supply me with names of qualified people who can add another room to an existing house? Plus do other odd fix-it jobs?

For anyone who lives there, how long have you been living down there and what are the pros and cons? I have been to Belize three times now and C.C. is still my favorite destination. I am looking at a specific property to buy for a vacation home (and rental) and then to retire in. It has a septic and well water. I will be coming down soon to do a final inspection and then proceed.

Thanks!!!!
