Our wooden shed has started to rot and needs to be replaced. We are improving the base for it, so hopefully would get longer out of another wooden shed. This one is ten years old. What are the other options and general costs? Steel, block built? What are the pros and cons? It would be a...

We had this and it ended up needing a new shower. There was a leak inside the unit.

Condensation on windows is better than condensation on the walls, in the wardrobes etc. I'd look at reducing the humidity, stop drying clothes indoors, keep lid on pots when cooking and open the windows frequently.

We have the thumb ones. Front door has a yale lock too, so no danger of little ones getting out. My daughter (3.5) has never tried to open them (yet) I would risk someone breaking in easier rather than be stuck inside in event of a fire.

Just removed all the silicone from the shower to replace it and I've found a chip (about 5cent size) in the shower tray. Does the tray need to be replaced? Is it likely that I can get this done without having to re-tile too?

AIB say we have to break the fixed and move to variable if we want to do this. They are sending the breakage costs out. Thanks for the info above

We have a part tracker and part fixed mortgage. We would like to pay a lump off the fixed part while leaving the rest of the fixed on the same rate, i.e. not change fixed rate. We are with AIB, is this possible? I'm sure they will suggest paying off the tracker but obviously it makes more...

thanks Paddy, I'll start getting quotes and see. What do the fireplace vents do?

Thanks Hope to get the grant. We got one for getting our heating controls updated a few years ago. Its great to have this available. I still would like to know the general ball park of how much it costs.

Its a 4 bed house, detached in Cork. Not a massive house. I want to get the house warmer for this winter as we nearly froze last winter. Anyone get this done?

I think this may become an issue soon. Just to be prepared How much do they cost? We live in a 4 bed detached, about 1600 sq ft, not massive, 10 years old, 12 rads. Is there any feature I should be looking for? Is there any thing I should be avoiding?

Thanks. I'll see if the bord gas guy can look into it for us.

I have the heating zoned wth mechanical switches. My normal engineer seems ot have gone out of business :( so I am at a loss what to do. I've called Bord gais to service the boiler but not sure if they will do the switches too. Anyhow, heat is turned off via the 3 channel programmer for the...

Make sure the hooks for the panel for the new dishwasher are in the same place as the old one. I fitted my own dishwasher, took about 1 hour. Try to get them to take the packaging too.

Its actually an algae

I don't think defrosting the tank will get water back. Do your neighbors have water, if so its just your stopcock or he mains to your house. You need to defrost the stopcock or the water main coming into your house. If everyone has no water, it might be a burst main further away, notify th...

+1 And I hate people who leave their dogs roam housing estates during the day. And don't get me started on people who bring their dogs into our estate for a poo on the footpath. I'm scared of dogs but fond of walking. I am seriously curtailed in walking because of dogs, particularly the "home...

Floor to ceiling windows across the whole back of the house so you can watch children in the garden while inside. Stairs that goes straight up so you don't have a funny few steps to stick stair gates on. These are also much much cheaper to put the stair lift on when you are older. High...

Lots of people think its ok to leave baby in car when returning the trolley or paying for petrol. Its accepted behavior in this country

Its about: access to the side door of the car to safely strap in toddler/ baby safe route to walk to the center (not crossing traffic with toddler) space at back to get out buggy Old people have different needs, like level access for frames, clear marking on foot paths etc. Car parks are...
