Is this an impossible ask??? Does anyone know where I can get some hatching eggs from. I am after specific breeds - not just a farmyard cross that is available everywhere. If I can buy them on line then so much the better.

A quick question for you guys!I have been told by my carpenter that although I have specified double glazed doors and windows I must pay more if I want toughened glass that won't splinter and cut you if an accident happens.

My driving license is a UK one and is about to expire. I thought I would just renew it though the DVLA as this seemed the most simplest way but I was wrong.

I am trying to buy a normal garden spade, fork and hoe for my Orto. Not only can I not find spades or forks here (Tuscany), I am unable to find an online supplier who will deliver these items from the UK.

Hi, I am currently having a house built in Tuscany and it has been suggested to me that I will need about 15 kilowatts of electricity to serve the house properly.

Now that we are hopefully at least halfway through the recession and it appears that builders, plumbers and electricians are crying out for more than just repair jobs or small jobs does anyone have any up to date information on the cost of buildin

A lot of us are aware of the 30 day planning rule where you can do a lot of building works after you submit your plans to the Comune but you do have to wait 30 days before you start in order to give them time to object.

Ok... so we have 220 trees in Tuscany - most really quite old and some have formed new trees around an old stump. They are pruned each year by Italian Farmers so we get a really good yeild. We have just come back from Tuscany where we carried out the first press of the season. We took 570 kilos of olives that we took from 18 trees. When we came to collect the oil produced we had 103 litres.I hope that gives you some idea of the quantities involved from old trees that are looked after by Italians who know what they are doing!!
Ok...I have heard you all!! Agas are not for Italy. Thank you to everyone who posted....... cant help but think they are beautiful tho!!
Previous posts on ItalyMag have suggested costs of 10,000 Euros per KM (1000 metres). Obviously it would be dependant on current condition but these are cheap country roads and the figures above are likly to be extremly high. Good luck and please do post how much it actually does cost you.
Thank You for the link to that web site - it was very informative. Do I take it that you are a project engineer for this technology?? If so what information would you need from me in order to provide me with a quote. I understand you are in Amandola?? I am in Tuscany - Pienza and the project is only at planning stage at the moment. Do you work that far away?
The house is going to be a new build. Approx 380m2 and built to all of the current 'building regulations' in terms of insulation (ie walls and roof insulated, windows and doors with double glazing). I am sorry I do not know the technical side of anything else in relation to the insulation. We are having under floor heating.We were just after a Rough guide to the installation costs so we can see if this is a viable option.Hope you can help.
We are having plans drawn up for one of these pools. The area in which we live, Tuscany, has just passed a law that says that there can be no more 'blue' pools. Therefore our only option would be to have one of these bio lakes. We can have up to 120m2 of lake (although the area for swimming in will only be approx half of that). Costs I think are going to be very high.Our neighbour has just had a 'blue' pool constructed. (He got his plans approved before the laws changed) and his pool has cost him 12,000 euros plus some landscaping costs. We have heard that costs are about double or more for a bio lake but if anyone else has some ideas on cost then that would be really useful.Do not think that these pools need to look natural. You can have them edged in stone and rectangular so they look like a normal pool. You also do not need reeds sticking out of them unless that is what you are looking for. If you are spending a significant amount of money on this then I suppose the last thing you want is to have your new bio lago looking like a farmers pond.Good luck with it and keep us informed.
Many thanks to everyone who has contributed. We really appreciate it. It does sound very expensive though. I will have to negotiate hard (at all time)!!
