Thanks, Sid. I will ask for permission. But before going that route I just wanted to get a sense of what it might cost. The velux dormer is slightly different from a normal dormer in that it has an almost flat velux roof...if that makes sense?
It seems complete madness! Cyprus should gone down the Icelandic route and protected domestic depositors while giving a 100% haircut to the foreign non-EU ones. I guess the politicians are worried about a 'visit' from the Russian mafia
We would like to put something like this in the attic http://www.mgmtimber.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=74&Itemid=142 Any idea what it might cost in a standard old farmhouse with a slate roof? Also, does anyone know if these leak over time? Thanks!
Quillan, I think the money went in propping up Greece and buying their sovereign debt. It is like a Ponzi scheme, where as one piece topples, it pushes the other down till the whole deck crashes.
This morning I transferred a chunk from a 'safe' European country to UK. Just in case. If deposit protection is no longer a legally binding contract in the eurozone, best to pay safe and minimise exposure in Euro banks.
