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.

We used an all purpose close meshed wire from the local Feramenta for our run. Also put a mesh roof on the run to discourage anything climbing/jumping in.

The doctor will probably just give you a print out of drugs taken and treatment given, takes a few seconds. You then can present this to your new Italian GP, names of drugs may differ, but you should not worry about the need for it to be translated. As long as you just gen up on some basic Italian for whatever you have been treated for, you should be fine.

As Penny says it is essential to have an accountant, especially for peace of mind, the last thing anyone needs is to be investigated by the finance police. We actually do not find ours expensive and the initial consultation was free.He has other English clients in the same position as ourselves, if anyone in the Montegiorgio area wants his details will be happy to pass them on.
