Does anyone know where you can get a glass roof panel from?
I've looked at Velux but they are far to expensive and I don't need it to open. I'm looking for a solid section of double glazed roof about 1m x 1m I can stick on an out building.

Yes, I know it's been a while since I poked my head above the parapets here at AMF - hopefully you're going to be seeing, hearing and reading more from me in the future.
We left the region about three odd years ago, taking up work back out in the Middle East - which seems to be our normal stomping grounds.
Well, we visited family in the UK this month and tagged on a week in our old home's area visiting friends - and of course, as you do, we made an offer on a property near where we were before and it's been accepted.

We've just had an offer accepted on a property in L'Isle Jourdain and are hoping to complete by end of the year. Its going to be a holiday home for a few years and then we plan to move out full time. Its a bit of a fixer upper, so going to have lots of questions about who and where to go for trades and materials.

Following on from Admiral's thread: we are bringing our UK dual fuel cooker from the UK to France. We have replacement burners for the hobs, so will need to add those and fit a new hose, regulator and connector. Doing that may well be within the capabilities of a confident DIYer but as the consequences of getting it wrong could be... severe, I'd rather use a professional. Could anyone please recommend a gas fitter?
Thanks,
Brian

If anyone has been through this predicament I would be really grateful for some advice. We bought our property last November. We have a main house and a small house attached to it, plus various sheds and outbuildings.
When we signed for the property the Notaire stated to us, that on that day he was changing the address from 2 separate addresses to just one address. Basically we have two houses now under one address.
Today we have just received our first Taxe Fonciere bill. On the bill they have put down the two houses as having different numbers, and totalled the bill for the two houses as one payment, although itemised individually on the bill.
I sent them an email today, with the power of Google translate and explained to them that the two houses have become one address. They then sent a form to be filled in and sent back...more dreaded paperwork, but I've been trying to fill this form in with no joy. It would appear that this form is for if you have had work done to make 2 houses become one, but we've had no work done. They are just two houses on the same land, but with one address. I just want to make sure we're not needlessly paying 2 Fonciere payments instead of one.
Has anyone else had this issue on here? If so I would be interested to know how you got on. The form they have emailed is a H1. I'm in a right mess here with this one. I don't want to go and pay for something if we don't need to. So, if you have 2 houses joined, but known as one address, do you pay one, or two Fonciere payments?

Kick off is 0700.
Emplacements are free altho you'll need to be up early to grab a prime site.
Grilled shoe leather ( sorry buvet ) , frites, bar and all the usual suspects including an amazing array of tat that you didn't realise you needed and then wondered why you bothered once you've got said tat home.
Usually a good morning out. Book yourself lunch at the Voulzie and you have a rather pleasant day.

This year we rescued our old Pollytunnel and got it settled with a new cover and all is doing very well.
But as we managed to save most of the old cover in the end and it's folded up in the barn we are thinking we could extend it a bit should anyone have any spare tubes they no longer need
So if anyone has any old tubes that they no longer need please don't dump them as we may be able to make use of them.

I've just been reading Admiral's thread about using a UK car over here: English motors in France
But wondered if any of our members had any information/experience about bringing a car over here for spares?
Can I get one day insurance to drive it down here.
Will I have to register it in France even though I want to strip it and never take it on the road again.
Would I have need to register as the new owner in the UK.
Do you still have to tell Swansea it's been exported permanently and scrapped.
Any information gratefully received as it's been a long time and I don't want to go through all the hassle to register one (just get it here to break up for spares)

I've seen this brocante advertised on posters around the town and thought I'd pay it a visit.
It appears to be all day Saturday and Sunday, centred on Place Marchal Leclerc in front of the tourist information office.
Is anyone else going?

Just returned from a newly opened bar in Liglet....Le Sapin Vert. Very nice! Open 7 days a week, with food starting at lunchtime/evenings from 21st August.
Worth an enjoyable ride into the country to try it out.

I'm sure you'll be thrilled to know the cost of visiting your GP will rise to €25 by the end of next year.
There will be an interim rise to €24 in April with the final rise coming into force in December 2017.
So by the end of next year those of you who hold the Carte Vitale will see your reimbursement rise from €15.10 from the state to €16.50. Mutuelle health top-up insurances, for those that can afford them, will pay out €7.50.
This government scheme will have to be funded through more than £440 million extra in general taxation.
Commentators expect the cost of the private Mutuelle to rise in line with the necessary pay-outs. Sorry. I thought it was already sky-high.
Still, I'm sure it's worth it to know your family doctor can have better and longer holidays AND afford that new Mercedes,Audi,BMW.
Having had our aged English Land Rover creak to its final standstill after 16 years of service we have brought a motor out from England.
But.....back in the day we were told we had six months to get the Land Rover onto French plates, insurance, CT etc. Which we duly did because we're really good like that. When in Rome.....
Obviously we were going to go down the same route with the current car but I'm told by several folk that the law has changed and there is no need to turn the car into a French voiture as long as it is taxed, insured and MOT'd in England.
Can someone shed some light on this and clear my rather fogged-up windscreen.
