???????? Anyone know where I can bring the shutters for disposal.. Near Julliac in Dept 19. I think it would be easier.

Many thanks for all the feedback .. I am thinking replacing is starting to be the right option.This however raises another question..... If I remove them where can I bring them ??? We live in Juillac (19). Its a holiday home and have very limited French . Thanks B  

Would this be the same information that the Dept de emploi sent me ? I have received two letters to my address in Ireland. Have not got them translated yet. Is there an inspection they have to carry out or could we work away as long as we are aware of the problems ??

We have old metal shutters with lead paint. I am looking to either have them repainted or replaced with wooden ones. Given the fact there is lead on them I assume it will not be so easy. What should we do.?

Help .... We need to close on our house in the next weeks. We need to get the money to the notaire's account. But there seems to be some confusion as to what is the best way. ?

    Seems like an easy thing to arrange ...... You would think. I have been trying to get some information in relation to cutting down my newly acquired meadow in 19. looks as if I will have to plan part of the holiday getting into the garden. Best of luck   B

This has been a great read and is offering some very good information ... I am travelling in July and bringing the whole kitchen with me. Luckily I work for a premium brand company so get them at a hefty discount. I had wondered if I was doing the right thing in terms of cost but put it down to a one off cost so will get in as much as I can. Sounds like there is a market for graded stock there i.e scratched or small dents. (not offering). B

Dept 19 I am trying to get some quotes to do some rewiring. What is a reasonable amount per switch / socket?  are sockets 16a ? and 20a for a cooker/oven ? Any help ................
