I think the groups now exist [at least - when I go to the 'make a new post' section, there they are, in the "Audience" section] Hope someone uses them soon - after all the time its taken

Anyone used the Harwich to Hook of Holland ferry service? I'm hoping to drive down to the holiday home later this year, and was thinking of using the service.

By chance I went on the old Forum yesterday - found that someone had PM'ed me from that forum only a few days ago. I hadn't got any notification of a PM, but obviously the old Forum PM system still works It might be worth doing the odd visit

I can't beleive that its 17+ hours since the last post - or has my PC taken over and hidden everything?

Lash out and pay for a suitcase in the hold - this can carry as much unperfumed 'stuff' as you want.
You could add a waterproofing agent to the concrete
The black plastic on a roll will serve just as well as Visqueen - as long as its not punctured [in fact any plastic will] . Visqueen is essentially just a thick plastic. To help stop it puncturing, lay it on a thin [2"-3" thick] of compacted sand and don't walk on it unless you really have to. I'd also suggest that you use it double [or treble] thickness,For any joints - overlap by at least 12" and seal the top edge with any decent wide tape If you want a thicker plastic [it would be preferable] you could try to see if anywhere has the plastic used for large polytunnels - or if its a smallish area - perhaps a tarpaulin would do [what are you concreting?] Hope this helps [sorry - was in Italy, chilling out at the house, when you posted] ["Chilling out " = no phone, no TV and no Internet = bliss]
If you are driving back in a car [rather than a van] and the wine is in your boot, I'd be amazed if your car would be checked - whenever we drove through Switzerland, all they looked at was the motorway vignette and our passports The 20 litre limit would apply for each adult travelling

Commune = Local Council [in simplistic terms]
Have you asked your neighbours if they know/use a local decorator?

Some commune [mine included] do not send out ICI notices at all - I have to go to the office to pick up a form and fill it in [including calculating the tax due (which is very easy to do)] I believe that you are liable for ICI until your residency is confirmed [as long as its your Prima Casa]
