Hi in reply to ChancerI am no electrician just relying on a 1968 OND in applied science, as there no earth I used the barrette, a metre and a half picket, and 15 metres of bare copper cable a metre deep its better than nothing and worked on my last 2 properties both which subsequently pass the tests when sold

Hi Quillan I am just down the road from you, Campagne all my 4 input wires are tar black and no identifiable earth so I created my own about 60 Euros and a bit of digging did it

I would not be separated from my dogs, the best mates ever, some bodies cannot understand the relationship and the reason to get up each day dogs never let you down or ask why

NormanLike you I have been a permanent resident in France for many years, for me its been a wonderful 19 years Its nice to know at long last I can dictate where my worldly goods go rather than a daft Medieval crackpot, who lost, dictate what I must doIts also an Eu law and nothing to to do with th the UK as they declined to accept it, domestically their rules will allow any inheritance provision

My wife and I have 4 children from previous marriages and they don't get on well so from August they have no say in my UK will, all my dosh is now my beloved and she can do as she will I read somewhere half of Germany is subject to Napoleonic law the other half is doing much better, the farms are bigger and industry is not cut in pieces

Be aware your urine next day from the colour will make you think you are about to die

As a resident in France from August 2015 you can opt for a British Will I am assuming that is your nationality if so you can do as you please in your will, ie your spouse can inherit all your worldly chattels

I remember 10 francs to the pound that's when I agreed to buy my first property unfortunately when I had to pay it was 8.5 francs we have been near parity since and I am looking forward to 1.54 euros to the pound, as it once was

HiI renovated two houses, now on my third since 1996 , there is no point in re pointing old walls or skimming the plaster boards as for heat insulation I imagine the air is still, ie not moving, behind the Plaster boards so no more need to be doneAs for old stone walls need to breath or they die , its odd that they are still here for millions years in the wet and in the dark and still here to day

I am a bit at a loss a chain saw is quite capable of taking out a floor board with out causing mayhem in the right hands its very accurate Have a tryPS Whats with cutting 3 boards"However, depending on the gaps between boards (pine floorboards shrink considerably over time), I usually would cut through the suspect board and each board next to it. With care, it is possible to lift the boards (pry bar) without breaking the tongues and replace. The boards normally will lift up to 30 deg. from horizontal." Making work or what
-
HiI am a bit of a loss on the above if you have tongue and groove it does not matter how you cut it out you will not be able to put a new T&G piece in without moving the adjacent boards As for spreading the load a couple of timbers screwed at right angles to the missing section will do the jobPS Tenon is part of mortise and tenon not often seen in floor boards

I thought the Cantal and Allier was central and had ski resorts

As Chancer suggests, or a chain saw, as an alternative drill small holes and then increasing in size until they meet and a wood chisel to form a straight edge
