  1. Hello, We are thiking of rewiring the house and I really want to have 110 and 220 V in the kitchen so that I can use all my appliances from the USA. I know it would probably be cheaper to rebuy some stuff, but I do have a wonderful collection of gadgets I have collected over the years and really don't want to let them go... Is this possible...and if it is, will it be super expensive? My husband just shakes his head when I mention this
  2. Hello, We bought a farmhouse this summer and are now ready to renovate - basically add new bathrooms, remodel the kitchen and generally freshen up the place as it looks tired. Would like your advice on how to go about it. Should we hire an architect to manage the project? We will not be on site, and it seems a sensible thing to do, but are worried about: 1) Higher costs (what is the incentive for the architect to help us think of simple solutions?) 2) Over-renovation resulting in the farmhouse fitting more in Suburbia than rural France Any suggestions/advice would be much appreciated. Also, would value any recommendations of project managers,architects or artisans - we are in Aveyron, close to the intersection of department 12 and 82. Thanks!
  3. Hi, I am not sure why last minute requests for bookings is an issue.  We do it all the time as we often decide on holidays at the spur of the moment (we don't have kids so are not tied to school holiday schedules).  Does that mean we are less reliable guests?  I don't think so.  For a gite owner who has a vacancy, last minute requests should be heaven sent, considering that the place would be empty otherwise... Seems a bit old-fashioned to think that if you don't plan your holiday months in advance you are somehow not trustworthy... Vig
