Re: House renovation experience/Förderungen (grants)

HI Emkay, my friend actually installed new windows in the house we have been renovating, and he says that the cost of triple-glazing just isn´t worth it. We/he installed doubled glazing with "wärme-schutz bedampfung" in our place, and says he would never go for triple-glazing. Our place wa...

Re: Why are you unhappy today?

Devastated Last night I realised many (most?) of my small tomato plants I bought and put outside, in the greenhouse, died. Indeed there's been frosts, but I thought inside the greenhouse, close, they were fine. And if that wasn't bad enough, last night I even forgot the greenhouse flap open, and ag...

Re: Old golf clubs

Rob, I would highly suggest eBay Kleinanzeige or normal eBay. Unless they are terribly rusted, the twine around the shafts on the drivers is gone, somewhere is someone who wants to golf as a beginner but doesn't have the funds for new clubs. Post a few photos and perhaps we could help you decide wi...

Old golf clubs

Hi guys, we just came across a set of fairly old golf clubs in the attic. Not sure if they would be of use to anybody, or indeed if they have any value(?), or if we should just take them to the Wertstoffhof. My partners`Father used to caddy for the Americans just after the war, and was apparently gi...

Re: House renovation experience/Förderungen (grants)

Morning Em, as far as I know, energy efficiency grants are a local thing, so you would have to do a search of what is available in your area. Where I am, even though for Munich there are grants available, here they are not...... :( Maybe talk to an installation company - they would surely know what/...

Re: German Tax - Buying a piece of land and constructing a house, living in it.

I don´t really have the answer for you, but have you thought of calling the tax office and asking them?
In the past I have called them several times with a query, and have always found them to be really helpful!
