    Leaking garage internal wall(which is a concrete block boundary wall with the neighbours)

    Thanks Leo. there's definitely a bottom damp issue (from water that isn't going into the drain in front of the garage), but I'' get on the ladder and look at the gutters. It's unlikely they have been cleaned for years. Do you think rendering the wall might help as well? (I presume you mean...

    Leaking garage internal wall(which is a concrete block boundary wall with the neighbours)

    Thanks Twofor1. I think the neighbours property is at the same level as ours.The sites slope from the front of the houses, to the back of the properties. It's really sloppy work to use the adjoining wall the way it was done.

    Alllow kids to play with other kids ?

    Children will be the vectors, will not get particularly sick, and will pass this illness to more vulnerable members of society, who will get sick. Please do not arrange play dates. Best practice is to minimise social contact with other children.

    Changing from oil/electricity to gas (heating and cooking)

    Thanks all. I am considering changing to gas because it's more cost effective than oil. The costs sound sizeable though.

    Changing from oil/electricity to gas (heating and cooking)

    Does anyone know approximate costs for changing from oil fired central heating to gas heating and cooking? (including boiler cost). There is mainline gas in the area and but it was never piped into the house, so it would need to be piped in from the road. The house is semi rural. Also, how...

    My partner has applied for his credit report from the Irish Credit Bureau. The result states no data found(he has had no loans for years). Does anyone know what impact that would have, if any, on a mortgage application?

    Ikea Pump dispenser: How to fix it to make it pump liquid soap?

    Thanks Woodbine. I've checked the seal, and the hose bit, all seem secure, and I can't see any holes in the piping. It does seem like a loss of suction, but I can't figure out how to stop it. Usually there is an air bubble at the top of the tube of these things when the pipe is primed, but...
