Hope you can help. We want to run our house on a generator as we do not plan to move for 5 years and will only visit for 2 months a year. Have researched and got so many opinions from salesmen on diesel generators that I am now CONFUSED. Want moderately priced LOW noise generator 5KW just when we visit. Suppose you are not allowed to name yours here! When we move we can justify the extreme cost that EDF seems to want to connect us. Many thanks

Does anyone know where there is a tool hire company near Chatillion sur Seine in north 89. Looking for mini digger and kango to hire. How much notice do they usually need? What would we do without this site?

Thankyou for your most gracious offer but have found a translator already as a friend put me in touch with one here in the UK.

No not really. It has taken us 2+ years to get the documents right as they asked us to make changes each time. We are desperate not to make any mistakes on this one and don't undestand what it is they want on this declaration to start work. Also don't understand the fees as there are 3 of them that add up to around 1600 euros. French builder wants to get going as he has been waiting for all this paperwork. I was really looking for a whole document translation at least for the commencement until our French improves.

HURAAH we have received our permission to repair our hovel's roof. Living France has done a series of lessons on translating various official documents, does anyone know if in the past there was a translation of the following? Declaration D'Achevement De Travaux and the Declaration D'Ouverture De Chantier. Also, once these have been sent in do we have to apply for the internal changes seperately, these include re-wiring, new floors up and down, attatchment to the sewage, (no idea what the old lady who lived there for years did as there is no loo ect!). Have looked on this site but can't find a blow by blow account of the procedures one goes through in the order they need to be done. We are working from the UK, the mayoress is lovely but we are embarrassed to keep bugging her at every turn. So excited...we are slowly learning French but the officialdom is beyond us. Many thanks.

Thankyou, we are replying to say we DO NOT have a TV or anything else yet.

We have not moved to France yet but own a ruin (4yrs)! French authorities have sent us a request for a TV licence. We have no TV or anything yet as the house is unlivable. Surely we do not have to pay for a licence for something we do not have?
