Hi Thanks for your reply.  We had the roof totaly redone, (It Was removed, and rebuild old timber was replaced) however we have been advised that to comply with earthquake regulations it should have had a ring fitted? So therefore we are trying to find out what the rules are concerning roofs and buildings for a restoration. Thanks Maureen

 I was very interested in the content of your recent post.  I am soon to begin significant renovations on an old house in Abruzzo for which a builder has given a quote.  Would you advise on how I can get hold of a 'computo metrico' so that I can decide on this quote?  Any suggestions or advice on quality tradesmen etc would also be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
