    building under back garden

    I might be completely off the mark here but isn't building below ground exempt from planning in some circumstances?

    Small things that make you happy

    I'd agree fully with these three. Also, when my girlfriend makes me a cup of tea when I'm in one of those lazy tired moods, brings it to me on the couch and cuddles into me. Blissfully pathetic!! Is this a new concept?;)

    Looking for cleaner in Cork city

    to the forum that leo has taken the time to move it to, 'recommendations for tradesmen, suppliers, etc.' seeing as you sought a recommendation for a cleaner in your original post, it would seem to me that this would be the obvious forum to post in. the heading does give a clear indication of...

    Cork Floods

    Corkgal's theory of land use does hold water (pardon the pun), the more non-porous area of land, the less natural drainage occurs and run-off is much greater. AFAIK, the idea of planning permission being a prerequisite to paving green areas such as front lawns in urban areas has been mooted, if...

    floor insulation under liquid screed

    AFAIK the minimum requirement for insulation for underfloor heating is 125mm foil-backed, preferably laid in two staggered layers. There should be no need to fix the slabs to the subfloor as they should be cut to fit very tightly which will keep them in place. Remember also to place perimeter...

    Yorkshire terrier stud (Cork area)

    That's a very valid point Iggy but my dog doesn't take to new dogs. We bought a puppy a few weeks ago as company for her as our oldest dog is on her last legs. She literally ran scared from the new pup and wouldn't take to her at all. Unfortunately the pup was rolled over a few days ago and we...

    Buzzer/call system for sick person

    Thanks for the quick response guys, I don't think he'd be too happy with me watching him on video but a good suggestion for down the road. Wireless doorbell sounds ideal Davy, I presume I could get one in the likes of B&Q or Woodies?

    Yorkshire terrier stud (Cork area)

    Does anyone know of a good, reliable Yorkie stud in the Cork area for a 4-year-old? My girl is a nervous, frightened little thing and I'd prefer to mate her with a vibrant, bully-ish dog in the hope of producing a more outgoing pup if this is possible. If the litter is small, ie 2 or less, I'll...

    Buzzer/call system for sick person

    My father is home from hospital and is bed-ridden. Talking is a major hassle for him so when I go to check on him and to see if he needs anything it disturbs him. Is there any simple device that I could set up by his bed that would allow him to just press a button which would alert me that he...

    Nuisance call from private No

    Either this or, as I have found effective in the past, just answer it and walk away from it, let the pranksters run up a nice bill in return for zero reaction/entertainment from you. They'll soon learn its a waste of time if you don't give them the pleasure of knowing that they are annoying you.

    Marraige is another. Only a measly 151 instances of it on AAM thus far, nowhere near the lofty 500 that Marion and Cav have discovered.

    Plant Hire of a concrete pump? Suitable?

    You'll have roughly 120 barrows of concrete. Buy 2 barrows, pay the concrete supplier the extra 'standing time' that will accrue and I'm fairly sure it'll work out a lot cheaper than a pump. The work will be tough, though, as you will also have to screed and finish the concrete as well as...

    Plant Hire of a concrete pump? Suitable?

    Do you have enough room for a wheelbarrow? Even at 150mm depth of concrete, this equates to just 6 m3. A couple of mates with barrows on a saturday morning would be the cheapest option if you can fit them.
