We lived there for many years and we enjoyed it very much.Best wishes regarding your future plans.

Perhaps it may be an idea to do a wiki with all the terminology needed for renovations, diy, and similar situations. Just have a look at our Wiki on cooking terminology in "Il Buongustaio" Circle. It may be very helpful.
