Leggets are sufficiently OK for us to have both bought and sold using them. They need the copies of the certificates and passports so that the details can be included in the compromis de vent and ultimately the acte de vente. We have always been asked for these whether buying or selling in France. If you were French your Livret de Famille would have been required which covers all these details.

Yes you can use a non HD freesat or Sky receiver but you do not get the benefit of HD. However it is the combination we have been using for the last three years.

The other thing to consider is the distance from the neck of the LNBs to the face.. are they the same? If not it may be sitting sightly ahead or behind the prime focus spot (OK, OK, I know you can't actually have a prime focus spot on an eliptical dish... but you know what I mean !).

The dish may be oval ( taller than it is wide or vice versa ) but it remains parabolic so it does have a prime focus but it must be almost 40n years since I learnt about conic sections.
I think an LNB to fit the dish is the way to go but if the dish is easy to get at you might try moving the LNB marginally in or out. ideally with a receiver which shows signal strength and quality for the channel you are watching

Broadly Chainage is a layer of U shaped cement blocks with triangular reinforcing inside wired together at the corners. It is not the weight of the roof that is the issue it is that the weight of the apex of the roof pushes the walls out wards via the roof timber. The outward force can be counteracted by beams running across the roof and that is the route I would go rather than chainage unless I needed to have the roof off anyway.
Link below gives you the prices for rod and blocks. Problem is you need to take the roof off and either knocks off 20 cms of height or raise the building by 20 cms.

Add € 100 for concrete and two man days.

Last person I can remember who married her personal trainer was possibly Madonna ?
Always like the way the Daily Worker referred to Elizabeth Windsor.
Did the original post have a trace of post modernist irony ?

How have you overcome the the neck of the Quad LNB being smaller than the standard LNB ?
It is possible the extra weight of the quad has caused the arm to droop slight and you may be able to improved signal quality by fine tuning the alignment.

If your optex box has a second co axial socket in you should not need a second receiver but will need a second dish

A very positive posting about times which those of us who are goy find very hard to look at or remember

Right make, right colour, right place, wrong model. NB looks best from top as engine has been removed.

They do run to skirting, some has to come off as I do not share the French enthusianm for surface mounted conduit or drilling through decorative mouldings. Trying to inspire myself to spend another six hours steaming and scraping off underlay after 10am trip to dentist this morning woopee.

I know it is schadenfreude and its is off post but the assorted team is me and also include electricity,plumbing and removal of nussibles. Though hopefully on next Monday morning the gas man comes to call.

Try yellow pages and search on 'Piscines' and 'Musculation' loads around Bordeaux for instance.

Friends paid extra for delivery in 24 hours of an I phone. Good News legiable signature - Bad News local familly of scrap dealers. They went round with the local retired Gendarme, and delivery was initially denided, mention that they were then off to the gendarmes produced the box.

We found it very hard work. First time holiday home - very cheap. Second time main residence - eventually found an area we were happy with but very hard going.

If you have a local insurance bureau which you use take your guest in to theiroffice and ask for their help

If I ever return to the UK and have one of those dead boring metal shuttered doors to the garage, I have always wanted the relaunched Maserati based Bob Kane version of the Batmobile on the door chances of getting it past the aesthetics advisor nil but you can always dream

Pryor to insulating the feeds to our Frigo American and third shower room which both pass through the Barn both froze with our damage to the pipes. I am pretty sure copper pipes would have split in similar circumstances. I think there is enough give in them to allow for the expansion without breaking.

Without Pearl Harbour would they have entered the fray ?

It is the complete opposite best maths teacher I had had passed O' level Greek modern and ancient, French, German, Italian. Spanish, Dutch,Portugeuse and Danish. Languages he was awful he could not under stand why anybodty found it hard he was great at teaching maths because he could do it but he found it harder work
-
I would try it anyway - worst case is D660 to Creysse then turn left for Les Pelisssous or turn left at Mouleydier and up to D21
-
When I went to the Pheonix Book sales about six weeks ago the Lembras/Les Pelissous end looked almost ready to open but there were no opening dates. My local Michelin map says fin 2005 !

" I always pay by credit card at the peages. It's much much quicker, so I'm always amazed that so few others use their card - especially when the queues are bad. Do they all know something that I don't - like it's cheaper to pay cash? "
No cheaper but I suspect the majority of people in France do not have credit or debit cards as they cost money and the French may not trust them. Look at how frequently Supermarket visits are paid for in cash rather than by card.

The card may need upto 48 hours in the digibox before it allows you to watch FTV channels. Try putting it in last thing at night and seeingif it is better in the morning.
Just to check the card has SKY printed on it in a big futuristic font. If not then it may be a very old pre dark blue card in which case you have been sold pup.
In France and about to make a deal but I have a few questions before I do anything.
