The metal plugs do create a cold bridge, however they are recommended over the plastic plugs as in the case of a fire the plastic ones can melt, increasing the risk of the slabs falling off the wall. During the really cold weather you could clearly see the shape of the plugs showing through on...

I used Waterman Consulting Engineers for our selfbuild. Highly recommend. John O'Connor was the actual engineer we were dealing with, but we also dealt with a few others in there on little things and they were all very good.

We have just installed a Cove 2 this week. Its great. We have ours mounted on a store stand and think it looks very well. The single air control works really, really well, allowing you to control the rate of burn with ease. My parents put in a Nestor Martin about 5 years ago. Its a very...

That's very expensive! At that price it is costing €520 a tonne. Our local farm co op is selling Grade A Polish coal for €350 a tonne, (delivered) at the moment. (it comes in 40kg bags) When we were buying coal by the bag last year (in Cork City) it was around €20 for a 40kg bag.

How do you conclude that €300 worth of stuff is missing, considering that you decribed the items as "rusty bathroom shelves" which have no second hand value?!!!! If the work was done well give the fella a break!

What is the best way to connect the above? Tv is a bravia 40w5500 Cinema is sony dz 680w Was thinking of scart between sky+ and tv, optical between sky+ and cinema, and hdmi between tv and cinema. A bit lost to be honest though!

Thanks leo Thats strange, the salesman in soundstore in Cork told me that it does work for mpeg4!! Sony site seems to back up your story though. Rememeber reading on a forum somewhere that it does both but can't for the life of me find it again!

How far back do you need to sit from a 40" lcd (specifically sony 40w5500) for good results?

Hi all, Hoping to purchase a Sony 40w5500 very soon. Best price I have is from the uk. Are the uk and irish models the same. I understand that britain used mpeg2, while we use mpeg4. I suppose what I'm asking is will I be able to pick up the freeview in Ireland (when it becomes available)...

Is your house a new build? Your problem sounds like the house is settling. We have recently tiled a new build and the tiler strongly recommended that we used flexible adhesive and grout. Even after doing this, he said to keep a couple boxes of tiles spare as if there is a large settlement...

56 cent a block isn't cheap for the cost of a block. I was paying 50 cent last summer!

We used Rationel. Windows fitted last Christmas (new build). Very happy with the windows, fitters and general customer care.

I have heard of this being successfully done. It would be similar to grafting onto a tree. However afraid I don't have any details on products to use or where to get them. The person I heard had used it was repair slightly thinner trees than yours though. I'd say best bet is to ring around...

Thanks for the replies, Looks like I am being a bit too tight so!!! Had estimated the floor price spot on but wasn't expecting the other bits to be quite as expensive. Best thing about this fella is I know it will be done perfectly! Frustrates me paying someone to do the floor and skirting...

All you need are the metal fixings. The plastic ones are not suitable as they can melt during a fire, leaving the slab unsecured. It is recommended to put a firestop along the bottom of the boards to prevent a fire getting up between slab and wall. Options here would including something...
