[AQUASTONE - PEBBLETEC]

Good evening folks,

Have recently seen on tv in the UK   Grand Designs, a product for swimming pools called 'Aquastone' from Australia,

and was wondering if it is the same as Pebbletec. Maybe Poolguy if he is around could let me know.

It gives a great looking finish to the inside of the pool, and would like to find the nearest contractor to 47.

Hi Suein 56 and Clair

Thank you for both replies.

Sue the house had a telephone line and adsl when we purchased it a couple of years ago, we never took over the line, so we believe that the line is still there just needs to be recognised, so to speak with a new tel number, we knew about the FT tel line for secondaire but not about the ADSL  for secondaire, with so much work tobe done, the last thing we needed at the time was the interruption of phones and emails, but now, things have taken a leap forward and it would be very very useful. Thank you for your help, this now gives us the opportunity of spending a longer time at our home.

Clair, thank you for clarifying the Orange website, my french is good but I missed the section on ADSL,  I really must invest in a new pair of specs.

Thanks

Hi Suein56

Can you advise how one goes about getting an FT landline and Orange adsl on a residence secondaire contract, I have looked at the site and my old eyes have not found this is info, husband says if we can get this sorted we could spend 5-6weeks doing work in and around the house, whilst he can still be in contact with the outside world....

[Severe weather warning]

Hi there

Was wondering after all that awful weather you have been suffering down there if any one could tell me what it has been like around Duras, 47.

Is it  true if you have a claim with the insurance company it has to be reported within 5 days, or does this vary cccording to the insurer you are with, cos I am unable to contact our neighbours for them to check the place out, would appreciate any relevant info, thank you so much, MERCI
