[sawn oak timber]

Does anyone know where I can purchase 220mm wide x 22 / 25  thick sawn oak timber in France.  We are based in Les Landes (Aquitaine) but timber companies would deliver I expect for a large order.

Thank you everyone for all your help - its been a real pain to get planning in France - they recently changed the law and wouldnt except any applications fro nearly a year in my commune.!!!

Thanks again for all your help - much appreciated

[Simple Translation?]

Hi people!

I just wondered if anyone could translate this small 15 word statement for my planning application... It would be a great help to me - I could send you over some Marmite or perhaps some Branston pickle.

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know if they sell knotting paint in france and if so what it is called? We have just run out of ours from England and can't find it in the shops!

[Workshop conversion to gite]

Hi all,

This is my first post! We have just purchased a place in Les Landes which has several outbuildings, some of which are of a considerable size. We want to convert the largest into a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom gite so we have somewhere to stay whilst doing renovations to the main house. I understand about visiting the Marie and getting a permis de construire but I just wanted to get your opinions on what might be possible.

There are 2 options:

(1)Renovate the workshop, renewing timbers where needed

(2)Demolition of exisiting workshop and re-build.

The second option would be the ideal option. Do you think it might be possible to do this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Salut
