Thanks for the artistic reply :)Agreed it does not look too strange, but it is defnitely more work than just redoing the joints... I will do that first and if it turns out to be a problem in a few years I will consider covering that part with slates.

Thanks for the reply. I thought about covering the wall with slates, but I think exposed stone makes more sense than slates, which would make it look like a problem area (which is isn't).

See picture: http://oi46.tinypic.com/2lavmrk.jpgI would like to remove the cement and do the joints with lime/sand-mixture (like the rest of the house). Will the lime joints hold at this angle or will they wash away?Thanks

the pipes are in/on gravel, so the ground probably just dried up quicker than the surrounding ground, which is why the grass died... just my guess :)

I actually looked into opening a US bank account a few months ago, and to make a long story short: you have to be a US resident (has to do with the usual anti-terrorism-stuff). PO Box will not work either. Local branches can't do it either.Maybe it's possible in Canada?Do you go there for your job? If so, maybe your company can get you a card?You can open a US$ account at a major bank in France. This way you will not lose money on the exchange rate, but they do charge a hefty transfer fee (I paid $60 at the US bank and $200 locally once). Cheapest way is to bring cash and deposit it yourself.

Poke it with a key! It should not be soft. Or bang it with your fist and see if there is sawdust coming out of the woodworm-holes (which are probably there :) ).
Is your VMC not working or lazy?
