 As an addition to the last post re second hand stuff - can anyone recommend a book that outlines the whole restoration procedure from start to finish?

I don't think such a thing exists to be honest and certainly not in English. There a quite a few Italian magazines that specialise in house restorations - have a look in Bar Sagi in Comunanza. The only book I have ever seen that gives any technical detail is this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Restoring-Home-Italy-Elizabeth-Minchilli/dp/1579... One of the problems here is the rules and regulations change often and very from Comune to Comune so I think it would be very difficult to write unless it was very generic.
