We have bought an old house with many broken wood shutters we need fixed (don't want to replace them with new ones if at all possible). Does anybody know of a carpenter...
Has anyone had a problem with carpenter ants / ants? I keep finding small piles of "sawdust" in the loft bedrooms (wooden beams... )
What did you do? Who did you call?

We have a constant procession from the ground to the roof but, not having access to the roof space, cannot confirm that the ants are not just going for their daily constitutional. I fear the worst, though. The parade has just resumed for 2016. Last year, I was trying to get hold of "terra fossile" (terra diatomacea, diatomite, kieselgur), or in English Diatomaceous earth or fossil flour in English http://www.perma-guard.com/products/insecticides/crawling-insect-control. Couldn't find a source, but am still interested, unless you or anyone else have any negative comments to make.
Does anybody know a good carpenter / falegname? I need a kitchen surface sanded down and revarnished to match the other tops. The person we always used has retired....
