Anyone have any idea on pricing for an external chimney from a pellet stove to reach above the roof line on the 2nd floor of a house. I am posting on behalf of a friend who is not well enough to do her own research, so forgive me for being vague.

I have a very good friend who is being harassed by a previous partner by phone.I remember in the UK that British Telecom had steps they could take to prevent nuisance calls of this nature.

Following on from another thead, what will happen to the ever increasingly aged farming communities, now that their children no longer want to work on the land?

So now being in possession of our permanent residency, apart from health care issues (and the rather nice baseball hat from the Sindico) what other advantages can we expect ?.

An Aesops fables moment (OK I know that was grapes....) I went down to check on our  large cherry tree, bent over with the weight of cherries this year and surprised two large adult foxes doing the same thing.

rather than buy from supermarkets Fox, we buy our meat from our village lady butcher, who obtains her meat locally and from organic farmers, all this clearly displayed in large posters around her shop.It isnt cheap, so a smaller amount goes a long way . I still havent come to terms with the lamb though, it is very expensive and I dont seem to cook it very well!, even when I use my Silver Spoon recipe book, anyone got any favourite fool-proof ideas for cooking it?A

Hi John and welcome to the community.You could try Self at Piediripa, the nearest to a B&Q we have found, beware of funny opening times, closed I think all day Monday and then closed again between 12.30 and 4pm (roughly) on other days. Its situated in a large industrial estate, in a shopping centre close to a large cinema mutiplex. Or there is a company called Brico near to Tolentino, again in a large shopping , industrial complex.Sorry if directions are a bit hazy someone else will probably be more precise!.A

Rough estimate Sarah, is 120 bricks, does John have a plan and an idea how many it will need to build the BBQ?Ax
