ouf Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Just bought property in Normandy. Now for the updating of the house and am wondering if there is a book/manual in English which covers those DIY projects in France. Really looking for the pipe sizes (plumbing for bathroom/kitchen)which I have been told are different from the UK and damp proof course etc. Any suggestions would be just great. Thanks,Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_Haze Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 We bought this book (recommended in Living France magazine) before moving to the Vienne and it has been invaluable, even the artisans who've carried out work for us have looked up things in it when we've wanted to be absolutely clear.Details are:-'Glossary of House Purchase and Renovation Terms''French-English and English-French'Published by Hadler PagerISBN 1 872739 08 3Hope this helpsHazel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
