Anyone have any familiarity with the innards of an Italian toilet, as in how to stop a tiny leak after the tank has filled. Have cleaned around the bottom flange, however cannot see how to remove the rubber flange and replace with a new one?

Since most of the language "spoken" on this forum has a definitive accent, thought this research report from Boston, an area of the USA that also speaks with a discernible accent, would be appropriate.

We send a fair amount of mail to the US from two different post offices here in Lunigiana. In the past three months, three letters to the US containing checks have not arrived. One of our neighbors has had a similar experience mailing to GB.

We have a very small vineyard and produce wine for our own consumption. We would like to improve our wine by introducing some cabernet into the mix. Does anyone know where one might obtain some cabernet vines, either dry root or in containers.

It has been suggested that perhaps some directions would be helpful, DUH!Varano is about 10 minutes beyond Licciana Nardi on the road to Tavernelle. There is a parking area just below the church.

Thanks all for your responses. We are aware of anaphalactic shock, etc. Have not seen horseflys around the grapes before. She has not had any other adverse reaction other than itching and headache so we are still in the dark. Will look a bit more carefully into the leaves before picking in the future. BTW, the grapes this year are not too great in our (Lunigiana) area. Thanks again, Fred
Thanks all for your input. (sorry about the checks vs cheques; guess you were writing cheques long before we colonists were writing checks) In this case, they were sent to us and we were sending them to a US bank marked for deposit only. Fred
Thanks for the input, guys. We are dealing with farm property, "garage' for "farm equipment" not to be "permanent," which restricts choices to prefab; metal or wood, or wooden structure. Stone, concrete, etc. not in the cards. Thanks, Fred
Thanks, Alan, we are squared away as far as permissions are concerned. Would be interested to know of any cost comparative experiences by anyone. The site is level, hardpacked, easily accessible by equipment, however subject to some periodic pretty stiff winds. We have the capability to "stickbuild" should that be the best solution. Fred
Cannot think of any instance buying land in Italy without going through a Notaio. Full Stop.
Thanks for your response, will pm you. Fred
Thanks for the lead. Might warrant a trip over to the coast to see firsthand. If all works out, we owe you a bottle or two. Fred
Valentina, Thanks for the info, a good source. We've had the pleasure of learning Italian cuisine from two neighbor ladies in our village who used to have their own restaurant and still prepare Sunday dinner for their family which includes us. Fred
Thanks for the information. Looked good on-line. Will pass on info to the "students." Fred
Have purchased one of the special Lidl wading pools. Anyone have any experience with these inflatable types as to what type of pump is needed to inflate???Thanks
