  1. [quote]It is not saltpetre that ouzoes out of walls it is salts desolved by water which has bleed into the walls . Scrape the front garden , live in the house a year and the walls will spot effuresing[/quote] Maybe I've had one glass too many
  2. Anybody know of any treatments for preventing the saltpeter oozing out of walls. So far the only thing for it appears to be boarding over it. I welcome any other long term prevention methods out there that does not require covering with wood or plasterboard. Anybody know of any chemical treatments.
  3. I am currently in the process of obtaining devis for installing a fosse septique for a cottage renovation in the Charente. Can anyone tell me what rate of TVA I should be paying. One devis quotes 5.5% the other 19.6%. I had a word with the clerk at the local marie who said that if the work was within or on the house, it would be 5.5%, but as it's not the house as such I have to pay 19.6%. Seems pretty daft to me as the fosse is considered an essential as there is no main sewer system in the village. Can anyone shed any light on this for me.
