Michigans if you have one near you as most of the tiles are end of line so just make sure you get enough so you dont have to go back as they may not have them anymore. Steve

There is no reason really not to use the metal for this, the only thing I would say and it is a personal preference is where you need to screw it together(i.e where you cannot crimp)  use the screws designed for this and not the drywall screws. Hope this helps   Steve

Put simply we like living in France and believe it is a better place to bring our children up.When that view changes we will move on. Back to England? Probably not, the worlds to big. Steve

Thanks for that it all seems a little clearer now. Steve

Many thanks for the quick response, the accident happened to me at home, wasnt sure wether it would make a difference. The company is a building company and I know my employers pay some sort of insurance,would that mean the cpam pay half  and the insurance that my employers pay would cover the rest because I know when the other person was ill the patron definatly didnt want him to rush back untill he was completely fit,and this would explain why when I asked my workmates they said the wages were exactly the same if you were of sick. Regards Steve

hi, can anybody give me some advice about being employed in France. I have been employed with a french building firm for the last 4 months in France and previous to that I was registered as a micro.I recently had an accident at home and have been off work  for two weeks so far,today my wife went to the cpam with the paperwork from the doctor and to check that they knew I was employed now and not working under the micro system.They told my wife that I am possibly only going to recieve half my normal wages and the rest may be covered under my top up assurance. First of all is it normal only to recieve half of your wages and if so how on earth do you pay a mortgage and survive at the same time. My wife and I both talk french and have always tried to do things the french way and understand how things work in France but now and again feel that the more you try and intergrate and understand the more confusing it all seems. I would ask my boss this but he is away at the moment.To make it more confusing somebody was off sick about two months ago and I asked then if you go sick do you recieve full pay and my workmates all said yes. Does this make sense to anyone? If so I would be extremely grateful for some advice. many thanks Steve
