I thought I would start a new thread on this for easy access.

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.

People come on this forum to ask questions...not to be told how stupid they are...shame on you. And actually you spell it naive.....oh well no loss.

Having bought and done extensive renovation to our property in Fermo province I would say that even 6 years ago there were firm controls on what could or could not be done. Windows could not be changed into French doors for instance and the size and shape of the widows only allowed for a small variation.Plus the commune kept a friendly but watching brief on the project. We were guided by our geometra....the architect other than to sign off work was little in evidence. I would say decide on what you want to do bearing in mind the restrictions and get started!

Brianm...I dont think you explained that he has an accountant initially...hence Rams post. It is also useful to have one with other ex-pat clients so that they are used to dealing with their needs. As I understand it ours will also deal with the IMU payments....you pay for peace of mind. Austerity is hitting people here , but if it achieves a more regulated way of paying taxes I am not complaining. Long way to go I agree. Yes we were checked that we were living here when we bought 6 years ago, but really no problem, you choose to live in a different country to a degree you go with the flow or else complain about it all the time.....grumpy Brits drive me mad!!!. (not that I am suggesting any member on this forum is a grumpy Brit!)

Oh well at least you got the title. Does anyone know of an insurance company that do breakdown coverage for a car that is over 10yrs old ?. Just discovered that Mondial wont do it for such an ancient vehicle....much appreciated. We are permanent residents in Italy so some company over here would probably be the most useful.

We bought our beds in Servigliano....excellent quality and middle price range, they deliver and set the beds up for free (dont know if this depends on distance though). The shop is on the right, set back from the road as you enter Servigliano from the Amandola road. You could combine your trip with a visit to the English library and The Little British Shop!.
