the weather seems to be ok in Ofena this week. planning to stay at our place but thinking of using Mias place in Capestrano as backup . The electrician has done some more work. Not sure how much mess!
The mattress man still hasn't come back to swap the matress, the idiot brought two different size mattresses, and has been promising to swap it since July, I'll be going to see him if it's not done when I get there, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Our circumstances have changed so I'm getting quotes to send a container from Dubai, in October. Still getting conflicting info on Duty, as non residents do we pay duty on second hand 1 to 2 year old househood goods?

Hi Linda
How long are you staying in Ofena?
We are hoping to come over 4th Oct for a few days as I have been in contact with two ex pat builders who have said that they will give us a quote for the repair work.

Have a good journey.

Hello,
My name is Bruce (crazy American) and I plan on being in Ofena in early October. I am going to be checking on my house restoration and taping the last bit for a TV show. Maybe if I can make it time we can chat about Ofena. Also curious as to your builders, I met with one British guy last time when I started my restoration, just curious if you used one of them on any previous work?
Respectfully,
Bruce

Hi Bruce
The builders that we used initially were Italian builders, recommended by the HAI agent but the work, which was sub contracted out to immigrant workers was of a very poor standard.
Both of the British builders that I have been in touch with live near Chieti.
What did you think of the British builder that you spoke to? Did he seem knowledgable especially about the legalities of Italian law regarding restoration?

Hi Giovanni,

There was a mix up with the dates on Mias house, and it is now not available, so I am interested in staying at your house from the 19th of Sept.

Where is it on Via Roma? How much is it? How many people does it sleep?

Hope I hear back from you soon as we leave in a few days. I will get my daughter to call your brother tonight as she speaks a little Italian.

Ps, I will say hello to Paolo for you, he is a lovely man.

Hi Lynda

Sorry that we will be missing each other again, one of these days we might manage it.
We are certainly hoping that we can get something sorted out with regards the repairs because as soon as that is done and paid for we may be able to continue with our plans to move to Ofena next year. It would still mean having to live rough in the house but it will be worth it and as soon as we are there permanently the work will get done faster.
Have a good trip.
Judy
