    Facia & Soffit

    Got a price from several companies including Global, went for a company called A Hill Fascia & Soffit in the end and was delighted with the job and price. Removing all the timber is a bit like using a sledge hammer to crack a nut IMHO. As long as any rotten or damaged timber is removed and...

    negative equity mortgages in Ireland

    Good point fizzelina, I've tried to find examples from the US and UK regarding negative equity products without success. I did manage to find an interesting piece in the indo from last December, but can't imagine any of our zombie banks sticking their necks out at this stage...

    negative equity mortgages in Ireland

    Thanks Brendan, just did an AAM search on it and came up with some interesting points. The rental option is probably the most likely medium term solution alright.

    Best mens trainers for walking on treadmill?

    It’s worth getting a good pair (80-120 euro) in my opinion. You could get fitted properly in elverys, arnotts, runworld (parnel st) amphibian king (bray). This way the trainers should fit properly and they will check where you need extra support to help avoid injuries (as well as blisters). Also...

    Thanks for the advice folks. I have approached several brokers and they have said they cannot get anybody to quote for me. I was with Zurich through 123.ie and they are now a tied agent for Travelers. It seems Travelers have gone through 123's present customer list and refused to cover...

    house empty through winter

    This is by far the most important point. Most policies do not cover you if the house is empty for more than 30 days, although if anything does happen it can be hard for the insurance to know when the house was vacant from (and till). I was away last year for 3 months and pipes froze and...
