We bought a similar looking property in rural Bedfordshire, it needed lots of work but I think it's been worth it. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bedfordshire-news.co.uk/Business-Finda/Electricians-in-Bedford/">Bedford electricians</a> were our god send as it turned out!Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08855317835747360952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2945600374886655820.post-75421364949752262552011-02-01T04:14:16.859+01:002011-02-01T04:14:16.859+01:00Hi Leanne, well that's exciting to see the sta...Hi Leanne, well that's exciting to see the start on the roof tiles. Big job but without it you can't move on. <br /><br />When we did our house in Piedmont we left large sections of the original exposed rock both on the interior and exterior. The new house in Liguria is also rock and they don't render it there which looks great. <br /><br />For some reason although I subscribed I don't get posts?? Will try again. <br /><br />We are finishing our house in Australia to head to Italy (by train)in late May early June. Coming via Vietnam, China, Mongolia, and Russia so will need a drink by the time we get to Italia! <br /><br />Look forward to seeing the house transform and can't wait to see what you do with it!<br />ciao for now<br />LisaLisa Chiodohttp://www.renovatingitaly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2945600374886655820.post-32389929603118603952010-06-09T16:12:29.602+02:002010-06-09T16:12:29.602+02:00Sounds like a candidate for an episode of Grand De...Sounds like a candidate for an episode of Grand Designs Abroad.

I hope to do some before and after posts eventually.<br />How many square metres is your house? By coincidence our house was also registered as two separate dwellings and we have recently completed the process of changing it to one.<br />Good Luck with the renovation I hope you enjoy the process as much as we have done.LindyLouMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282788551449445133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2945600374886655820.post-79010974685202562052010-06-03T09:53:02.209+02:002010-06-03T09:53:02.209+02:00What fun lies ahead for you Leanne.
