I have used one of these for about two years.   Bought mine from a company in Canada.   My wood burning stove is small so I bought the smaller version of the fan.   It does not push the air very much and I would definitely want the larger fan if I had a bigger area to heat.

   I bought this one in the USA at Walmart.  The price was only $11.50.   Not sure if they sell the exact same model in Italy but they should be easy enough to find.  Works well as it keeps the ties straight and in order.

I paid about 1k euro/msq for my house in Abruzzo 8 years ago.   Very hard to find habitable dwellings for much less than this sum in my experience.  If the house is truly 600 msq and in decent condition this could well be quite a bargain.

OH NOOOO!!!     I just noticed that not only your previous posts but also one of the rooms in your four bedroom house has also been removed.   Now the post above lists the house as having only three bedrooms!   In America haints are often responsible for messes such as these.   I would guess you are in Britain but haints are good swimmers....

There are several houses in my village of 350 people, Valle San Giovanni, near Teramo.  They have been continuously for sale in one form or another for the past five years or so.    Two are complete ruins, one very nice at about 200k euros, one in between.  There are more for sure that people are willing to sell but have not bothered to put on the market.  The marketing of the houses leaves a good bit to be desired in my opinion.   Although we are on 8km or so from Teramo, young people do not want to live in the houses because there is no school in the village, few to no paid positions in the village, and many of the jobs that people do find are 15 km on the east side of Teramo in the direction of the Adriatic Sea.   If I was coming in fresh I would come to Italy for a couple of extended visits, get a feel for what you like, then put the word out that you are looking to buy something.   With diligence, you can still get habitable (not luxury) places to live (many rennovated in the 60's and 70''s) for something in the neighborhood of 1200 euros msq.    Hard to go much under this figure but you can sure spend more if you want more elegance, panoramic views, etc etc

Might seem intuitively backwards but as I now see things the issue of transportion has taken on increased importance with regard to where to live in Italy.   If you are citizen of Italy than buying/keepng  car there is a piece of cake.  The opposite is true if you are not citizen and/or do not have residency.  Bottom line is that if I found that owning/keeping a car in Italy is not easily do-able, I would definitely choose a place to live along one of the main railroad lines and not out in the sticks somewhere.

Not much more expensive and save you driving around would be to purchase the tools you need on Amazon.it.  I have bought several things from the site in the past few months and all went well. Bidetless
