Speedfit or PEX in the UK could someone please tell me what this system is called in France and give me a link to a brico shed or French supplier where I can look these items up

Found the website for you but unfortunately its in Italian there is a pdf for your boiler but again its in Italian   http://www.riello.it I would sugest emailing them and asking if they have it in English or translate it   Good luck

On the day of signing for the house I bought last year the French Estate agent informed me just prior to going into the notaires office to sign the act de vente, that the sellers new house wasn't finished and he would need to stay in my house for another week, I felt that at the time I had no choice but to agree to it, when I mentioned this arrangement to the notaire she was horrified and said this was totally unacceptable and told the seller he had to vacate immediately, because he had nowhere to go that night she allowed him with my permission to stay there for one night but made him sign a declaration that if he was there after 10 am the following morning I would be entitled to rent at around 100 euros a night. So I was left with the impression that this is not acceptable practice

Thanks very much for comprehensive, reply just to clarify does this mean the allowance for a couple would therefore double from 4,334 to 8,668 Euros before you became liable for tax 

I've no doubt this has been asked and answered before, but I have searched and could not find, so, can anyone please tell me how much you can earn prior to paying French income tax, and is there a difference in the limit between earned and unearned income, and finally what are the present income tax rates  Thanks in advance

It is my understanding that you can install a double lined stainless steel flue either internally or exteranally if the flue exits externally thruogh the wall you can simply take the flue to a point one metre (as I recall it) above any window height, or if your going through the roof either build a proper stack at roof level or (again as I recall it) false stacks can be purchased from the same manufactuer as the pipe I know this is availible in england from most builders merchants and the information availible with it tells you all of the English regulations, as regards the French regs someone else might be able to tell you, but the principle of operation will be the same I know it works and works well the only real downside is the price it allways was relatively expensive stuff Hpoe this helps
