Hi All, I'm looking for a reliable builder in Dept. 36, preferably near to Eguzon. I'm looking for someone to put three velux windows into a roof space, and I need a wood burner installing. If anyone could recommend one, please let me know. Sue.

hi, can someone tell me the best way to recognise a medium dry white or rose wine in France. Unlike here in England where it's rated 1 to 5, I have great difficulty selecting a wine that is not dry (short of tasting them all ha ha). Someone suggested looking at the percentage of alcohol present, and aiming for over 12%. Is this true? Cheers, Sue.

I don't have trv's on bathroom and hallway rads, and the boiler was serviced last year. Despite keeping the rads on the frost setting since last November (apart from one week at the beginning of March, when we spent the week in France) we've still managed to get through just over 1200 litres of oil, which makes it expensive on top of paying for heating here in England. We're planning on draining the system next winter to keep costs down until we move to France permenantly, which should be within the next 2 years.

Is there any one who can help? I have a Viessman oil fired boiler (13011-40) German built in 1975. I have no room stat or controller but have thermostatic radiatior valves on all large radiators. The problem is the boiler uses a lot of oil even with half of the radiators off. There is a black residue caked on the back of the boiler (like treacle toffee) which I assume is unburnt oil. I'm ignorant on oil fired boilers, so has anyone any idea why fuel consumption is so great or where I could acquire a manual (or copy). The house is very cold and poorly insulated. ( a future job). Thanks. Sue.
