Hi diver, its a delicate balance now i suppose. I would spend money on decent floor coverings and a fireplace if i believed it would help the sale and improve the price i may get (or more specifically not adversely affect the price). I agree with you that putting in some cheap floors and...

Thanks tired paul. Yeah presenting the outside well is probably a good idea. Would you leave bare concrete floors? What sort of things did you do to present your house well?

Thanks for the replies folks. I think i'll at least finish the garage and flatten the garden. It is quite a jungle at the min. I'll not go planting shrubs and the like. As you say steiner people like to put there own stamp on a place, my only worry there is would people think the house is...

I am thinking on selling my house in 2015 but there are a number of thing that haven't been completed yet. Its a relatively new build. Upstairs most of the floors are bare concrete. I haven't painted outside, the garden hasn't been flattened yet, I haven't finished the garage etc. Downstairs...

I just got my pay this morning and i am down significantly. I take it its the One Parent Tax Credit removal. A real kick in the teeth. On top of all other changes over the last few years i am really going to struggle now.

Thanks leo, i'll have a look there.

€8 is an incredible price. Great buying. If i can't get them for a reasonable price i will go for something else. No way am i spending the sort of money b & q are looking for.

These are the tiles i was looking at, i worked out the price per square metre at £170 stg. [broken link removed]

Sandals did you notice the price of the ones in B & Q. I was looking on the B & Q UK website and they seemed expensive, maybe i calculated it wrong. I checked a couple of tile shops today and they didn't have them. I'll take a run into B and Q and have a look. Thanks everyone for the replies.

I checked on their website and they seem to be massively expensive, works out about 160 stg per square metre

Would anyone know where i could buy tiles like these in Ireland?

Thanks truthseeker, i'll give a few of them a shout.

I am looking to get something like this done up but i don't know who to ask about doing it. Is it as tiler or a fireplace shop? http://www.edwardianfires.co.uk/hearths/tiled_hearths.htm

If you have 15 radiators in the house would it be cheaper to run a boiler stove on wood/coal or use oil condensing boiler to heat the house.

The stairs are only being made at the min. They will be fitted in 3 or 4 weeks. The price was to spray in the workshop. The other option is let them be fitted bare and get them handpainted in the house.

Jazz was that 5 days for the stairs alone or for the stairs + 3 rooms

What was the name of the one you got for that price?

Thanks for the replies, i have been quoted €500 to spray the stairs. It seems steep to me.

Would it be more expensive to get someone to hand paint new pine stairs or to get them sprayed? They will be painted white.

They sure are pests. Especially those that work near you and expect a lift every day. It puts people out. Every time you need a day off, need to start earlier or later, need to do something after work the other person has to be told. It becomes a burden.
