I seem to be registered as a new member - but have posted a couple of times in the past. Our house has got to the stage when I can update our progress and show some before and afters. The new style forum is certainly different, but no doubt I wi
Just a thought Jane Do you think part of the problem might be P.... envy? After all, a Harley is a very macho machine!! Get an electric bike, it screams inadequacy to some. (Tongue firmly in cheek here) Best wishes and good luck.
What a horrid situation! Not sure if this helps but i did hear that, as long as it had wheels (i,e, moveable) you might be o.k. Am sure some of the seasoned community members can throw more light on this but - best of luck1
Thanks everyone. We are indeed resident in U.K. I think as we are at the beginning of this adventure we can play it by the book, both here and in Italy and keep a very close eye on any changes in Italian law. Thanks Sebastiano for the details on registering guests - will certainly do it, if the occasion ever arises! Fabbriche
Brancusi Just from personal experience. We are in the equivalent of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and our geometra/architect has been very insistent that nothing can be changed once plans are finalised. We also found that there were stringent restrictions on what we could have, because our property was originally a castagna (i.e. not a dwelling house). So, no external shutters, no small balcony etc.. I think your geometra should guide you on this and, as the others say, try to get what you want before you start. Best of luck Fabbriche
think, as others have indicated, that the red tape and paperwork involved in any transaction in Italy are massive and fairly immoveable. If you start tinkering around with a formal request which is in progress I suspect that the whole thing would collapse and you would have to start again. As all of the paper work for our application has gone astray once already, we are taking no chances. If our Architect suggests this is the right thing to do then I guess we go with his knowledge!Mind you, how long it will take when we do request the upgrade.......!Best wishesFab briche
For what it's worth... we are just about to have our permanent supply put on which is to be 3kw. Our Architect has said not to request 6kw until installation is complete. Then start a new request! Fabbriche
That is interesting Flip. I think I have not explained myself very well! It is not we who want to get rid of the garage. Our geometra/architect has said from the start that the structure, left by the previous owner would have to go when the project was finished. Whether this is because the previous owner did not have permesso we don't know. Geometra says we could probably have a wooden shed somewhere else so really not sure of the thinking behind it. Whaever happens, we will need some storage. Perhaps we should ask for more details - and not accept fate quite so readily! As always, you lot know your stuff. Thanks Fabbriche
