The property concerned is my home (or the banks for the next 29 years!). It was signed over 2 years ago. Within a couple of months, it was clear that there was a leak in the bathroom plumbing - leading to ceiling damage downstairs. Now 2 years later, i am having similar problems with ceiling...

Thanks for that ontherun. As far as i can tell, Brandon is oil or gas - but its solid fuel i'm after (Donard can be oil or solid fuel).

Relatives in the process of buying one of these. Anyone know where to get a good deal on one of these (regardless of location)? Best price so far is €4500 Also, for anyone currently using one, any feedback?

I currently work 3x12hr. I don't have any intricate knowledge of labour law but I would be very surprised if theres much they can do in this scenario. I know in my own case, the company can give just a few days notice in swapping someone from one shift to another. I can see how its a problem...

Thats right. Forgive my ignorance but shows two gate valves and ...on the pipes connected to my cylinder. Should i be making any adjustment to any of these? Was i right in my initial post as regards leaving downstairs alone as it must be a seperate circuit? ps. rang a plumber last wednesday...

Have a 2 yr. old semiD with oil central heating - firebird heatpac burner just outside back door. The system has two circulatory electrical on/off switches just inside back door - one for upstairs and one for downstairs. Downstairs runs 100% - with the valves fully opened on all rads. Upstairs...

I'd prefer not to but changing shift isnt out of the question if the rewards are there. More practical would be sharing the drive with someone else - just need to find out how I can do this fairly and without running into insurance difficulties. Have decided taxi would suit be best at this...

Well, I need to do the sums on it there Dave - and perhaps you can help. My plan so far is to work in Galway, using my own car and working independently off the taxi ranks and contacts. As regards whether the numbers stack up, I suppose insurance is the biggest deal. What were you paying/what...

Didnt know this was a possibility. Bought a couple of years ago and there wasnt as much talk about AH at the time - I assumed I wouldnt be entitled to it and didnt apply. I bought 40 miles away from where I work - as I had to move away from Galway in order to find something affordable. Do ye...

Thanks for all the posts above. Was more concerned as regards if it could be damaging for my new flat panel lcd tv. what do ye think?

One of the lads in my house has a habit of switching off/on the TV at the mains without soft powering down ie. powering down via the remote. I always thought this was bad for electrical equipment of this nature. Is this the case?

Well, they told me to come back on Dec 1st. with the form/tax clearance cert./etc. Have been talking with a few people and I'm definitely going to start working in Galway initially - a few outfits there that work on a percentage basis and provide car, etc. - so I can try it and see if it works...

Just got the application form from the local garda station. Just a couple of queries that someone might be able to assist with... - My local Garda Station is in Mayo but i'm thinking I would fare out better if I try to sort out work in Galway City. Can I assume that theres no problem in...

I have Mondays/Tues./Wednesdays free due to working shift thurs/fri/sat. I badly need to setup some form of work for this early part of the week and thats lead me to consider part-time hackneying. Is anyone doing this on a part time basis? Is there much demand? I understand that I have to...

Would be interested in this from the point of view of using it for hot water/shower in a log cabin. How large of an opening would be required to vent from these combi's? I ask this as i would prefer not to puncture the wall of the structure. I wonder could a length of pipe be attached to vent...

One can be added. They have it as an optional extra - although I am undecided if it allows enough space. I don't think its an issue though as one could be added with the assistance of a carpenter. Not sure just yet. I will probably drop by there the next time im in england. Possibly. Can only...

I was considering purchasing this cabin and using it more or less as a self contained living space. Would it achieve high enough of a u value for it to be reasonably heat efficient? Could i expect problems in terms of sound transmission through such thin walls? I know its not top quality...

I've just started pricing up (service based) work. Have just specified precise service and provided cost. I have not mentioned payment terms at this stage. All of my competitors require payment prior to handing over the documentation which is the end result of this particular service. Am I...

Which of these small vans would be the most fuel efficient? Berlingo/Partner/Inca/Caddy/Combi.

I've been trying to find a site that does comparisons based purely on mpg -the only ones I've come accross have been american. Anyone aware of one? Doing a 80 mile round trip 4 days a week - plus some running around on the other days. I want to compare some small diesel vans ie...
