I am working on scraping the paint of old plastered walls, the first coat has fallen off in submission, but the under 2 coats are putting up more of a fight, i wondered is there a thick colored paint i could use to paint and fill the areas that have got down to the plaster, it is not that thick but too much for a regular paint to hide/cover... thankyou in advance Grant

i have just brought a house with a septic/holding tank and wondered if usually the water from sinks bathtubs and showers get plumbed into the tank as this will speed up the filling process, i need to install bathrooms and plumbing and wondered if i could plumb all that water into a seperate holding tank for the garden or simply into a drain field?? sorry if this seems a stupid question but i must ask it..thankyou Grant

Can anyone please tell me when the are opening ?? thank you Grant

Firstly if anyone can tell me when Brico Marche in Bellac is opening that would be great, i need to buy some windows/doors and i do have a Brico Depot brochure but not one yet for Brico Marche as they have not opened yet, is it worth me waiting for them to open or are the prices much the same ??? thankyou in advance.. Grant

Also in the area is Les Newbury..very good also...

You might want to look in the phone book for Jimmy Evans..i hear he is very good....  good luck

this has been covered before, but a while ago and i wondered if it is still free to park there as i will be leaving my van there for a week??  Thankyou in advance.

i am a novice to the vegetable growing game, but i have planted pumpkin seeds "hundred weight" and an even bigger pumpkin variety  for my Nieces and Nephew for halloween, and to eat, they are in  2-3 inch pots and in the last 2 days they have shot up to about 3" with 2 leaves on each plant.. my question is how long before i plant them out, and is there anything special i should do to ensure a good crop ?? thankyou in advance...

as you said my connection has been turned of and the meter box removed, but will they put in a temp power outlet and lights to allow me to work/rewire the house and ifso is there a standard charge for this servise..Thankyou for advise

I am in the process of buying a house and as the house has been empty for years, someone has taken away the inside meter box for the eletric supply, so i need EDF to install a meter and turn on the power... my question is how much should this cost as i get VERY differant versions from anyone i have asked..the lines are still exposed in the house so should just hook up to them ?? thankyou in advance..

i am in the process of buying a house and due to close next month, due to various reasons it would be easier for me to pay the full amount to the notaire in cash... will he accept that or do i have to pay with a cheque or bank draft?? thankyou in advance
