Anyone have any idea on pricing for an external chimney from a pellet stove to reach above the roof line on the 2nd floor of a house. I am posting on behalf of a friend who is not well enough to do her own research, so forgive me for being vague.

I have a very good friend who is being harassed by a previous partner by phone.I remember in the UK that British Telecom had steps they could take to prevent nuisance calls of this nature.

Following on from another thead, what will happen to the ever increasingly aged farming communities, now that their children no longer want to work on the land?

So now being in possession of our permanent residency, apart from health care issues (and the rather nice baseball hat from the Sindico) what other advantages can we expect ?.

An Aesops fables moment (OK I know that was grapes....) I went down to check on our  large cherry tree, bent over with the weight of cherries this year and surprised two large adult foxes doing the same thing.

Perhaps you can tell us where your nearest vet is whom you would recommend?, on the assumption of course that you live here? it would most helpful to those coming out here with their much loved pets. I am afraid that friends out here have had recourse to use them in an emergency situation, perhaps you can help? For those with animals it is a serious question.a

Ginesio MC, who has literally saved the lives of 2 of our cats (remember Misha?) she does seem to specialise in cats, and is very experienced .Tel 349 8653579.surgery hoursmornings, Mon,Wed,Friday 10.30-11.30Pms Monday to Friday 17.30-19.30I wonder if it would be possible to stretch this to all regions and for personal recommendations from other members to be added?A

John is right about the regulations regarding B&B, and its something we would not have considered after doing our homework. But with regard to a pool, we dont have one and it has not been a bar to letting, we attract guests who prefer walking ,art galleries, and enjoying rural Marche food. What you do need to do for peace of mind and legal reasons, is find a good commercialista and get your tax liability sorted out.A

I hope to win the raffle prize which offers a stay at Russ and Serges home, failing that when we are all not so busy, we can do a house swap for a few days!, they can look after our cats and we can look after the chickens. But seriously I do think the key is to offer something a bit special, and if on site play the discreet but helpful host. I think it is much more difficult if you use agency staff, that personal touch just is not there, and reliable staff may be hard to find.But I wish you well in your venture.A
