Living in France
What's it really like to own a property in France?
Written by people who have actually gone through the process, we'll be writing about some of the good, and sometimes not so good, aspects of living the dream. How to go about looking for a French property, dealing with French estate agents, and going through the buying process. We'll look at what to watch out for, and give you some useful pointers on your way to your very own French property dream.
Want some practical advice on restoring a French property?
Following a ground-up (quite literally!) re-build and restoration of a French country house, we'll be going through pretty much every aspect of the renovation of a home on France.
Going Green
Solar Energy has already proved its worth during the early stages of the restoration, using the power of the sun to provide electricity for lighting in the caravan and scalding hot water from an inexpensive home-made solar panel. It has already worked for us in practice, so there is no doubt of the practical applications of alternative energy as far as we are concerned, so for the renovation project we'll be exploring how we plan to use solar energy for electrics and water heating, geothermal / ground source heat for underfloor heating, and rainwater harvesting.
Beebled.com is the exciting new website bringing you lots of interesting STUFF!
