Ceiling Fan
Richdog, the only problem I can see with the fan you've selected is that it has no light built in. So you'll have no ceiling light (unless you have two ceiling wiring junction boxes in the room of course).

Any basketball going on in Zurich?
We had interest from around 10 people when i set up that topic a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, that Saturday was rainy and so were the 3 Saturdays after it. May 25 will be rainy too and if it's not, the court will be slippery. I'm gonna…
The damage has been done...I can't see Microsoft recovering from this.
Sony have beaten it on price, and more to the point, GT6 will be on the format.
Xbox - IMHO - has never been popular. The only reason I would get one would…
COOP outlets manage to keep temps in check but most restaurants do NOT at all. And inside many restaurants you are lucky if the managers/owners remember that they might have a chance to keep the windows open
i know a few architects here and also seen the inside view of a few projects. you should be aware that there are some sharp, but not uncommon, practices.
i've seen one knowingly underquote by 50% to win the project and then only reveal…

Wedding Translations Please
We were once at the renters union (mieterverband) in Zurich to ask a couple of questions about our rental contract. My (German) wife asked the first question, and after a longish pause the (Bernese) adviser replied with a single clearly…

Best VoIP service?
Thanks! I also use Switzernet at home, and we also had some problems with it a few weeks ago, but all seems to be OK again now. I didn't know about their Moneyhouse rating - definitely something to take into account.
I'll will look into…

NutriBullet Extractor wanted
Ours is a a Magimix. We're had it ten years and it's great.
I don't think it will crush seeds like the one you want though.
My other post was in reply to Ace1's when he said the one you wanted was expensive.
I don't think it's…
There is something called a "Familien Praktikum" where girls go for a year or 6 months from different language areas in Switzerland to help in the family and learn the language. This is also recognized as apprenticeship preparation in…

Driving Range close to Basel
Couldn't agree more.
That was the way things were handled already when I was in primary school back in the 'fifties (nineteen-fifties, just in case somebody is wondering), and it was the same also in the school books of my dad from…

Humidity in cellar
Our new-build (delivered 2001) took a couple of years to dry out properly, especially in the cellar... autumn/winter 2000 during construction being particularly damp.
Keep a window open and continue using the de-humidifier for a few months…

Deposit return
Paying the deposit to the owner isn't illegal. Sometimes this is done just as a temporary measure until the proper rental deposit account is opened at a bank. It is the responsibility of the owner to do this.
Actually, it is very good…

Ice ice baby
How far are you willing to travel? I've recently been to the newly renovated outdoor pool (Töss Side) in Rorbas (between Bülach & Embrach). It's a 50m pool, and the entire length for about 1/4 of the width of the pool is shallow. It opens…
Hence the garage were so friendly, they were certain to get the money from your insurance company. Hence the hire car.
Would have been a different story if you'd have rocked up with 'no casco' (3rd party only).
You'd have been liable…

Do I go to the police?
Funnily enough, I do know of people who have gone to their local police after having trouble with customs. The police provided them with an explanation of the relevant law. They went back to customs with that explanation, and got…
Cosmo generally isn't a reliable source for medical information...unless it's about vaginas. :)
Both my husband and I had pertussis, whooping cough as it is more commonly known, last autumn even though both of us were vaccinated. Neither…
Why would you move your pension to Switzerland if you plan to live in the US?
If you are not resident here, that must muddy the waters. Then you are speculating on future currency exchange as well.
QROPS seems to be a moving target, HMRC…
Forget the politics in your home country and look to other things. Swimming ? Go to the Bielersee where Biel alone has two nice beaches. Old beautiful cities ? Visit Murten and Estavayer and Solothurn. Nice cities around you ? Go…
You MUST declare the car to customs when you arrive. You don't have to go ahead & register the car in CH however you must declare the car.
Your husband can NOT drive the car into CH, if he does then taxes are immediately payable.

Who's a clever boy, then?
If you want some real anal retention, apostrophes are used in place of dropped letters, but not dropped words.
'course, there are exceptions when two words are often used in conjunction with each other, and the first is dropped, but…
