No there's no boiler on either insert or freestanding.Insert is a Rais and the freestanding is Nestor Martin

Insert stove I wouldn't go for an insert. They don't throw out nearly as much heat as a free standing stove IMO. I have one of each and there's no comparison between them.

Yes I would have thought that before I tried the Rockstone tyres. I can't see any difference in performance between those and the Bridgestones that came with the car when new. If anything they will outlast the Bridgestones by 15 to 20k. There is no noticeable tramlining often associated with non...

Has anyone tried them? Looking at buying the 165 65 16 NP 200 . Four fitted for €340 on a Qashqai. The original tyres were Bridgestone Dueler costing about 600 to 650. Have looked at some reviews online but little info on that tyre. I'm using Rockstone on another family car and have to say...

A friend purchased a house approx 20 yrs old. The house had a missing slate and there is rot in the roof timbers. They have had a builder in to look at it and the costs for correcting the problem are quoted at 4500e. My question is should the engineer have spotted the missing the missing slate...

I'd have thought the Royal Bank of Scotland would be typical of Ireland. No?

SOCIALISM You have two cows. You give one to your neighbour. COMMUNISM You have two cows. The State takes both and gives you some milk. FASCISM You have two cows. The State takes both and sells you some milk. NAZISM You have two cows. The State takes both and shoots you. BUREAUCRATISM...

Hi there, I have switched from Vodafone mobile to 3 mobile last friday and I'm keeping my own number. I was told by 3 it would take 24 hours. After 24 hours I called 3 as the switch had not happened and was told it would take another 24 hours as there seemed to be some holdup. When the switch...

Hi Nigel27. Nothing wrong with your title imo. This is very common in the west of Ireland. Your house is prob finished with a coloured render like KRend. It is porous and susceptible to the red fungus you are experiencing. You'll also see it on unpainted plastered walls and unpainted roof...

I have the water entering the manifold set to max (i.e. lttle if no mixing) - the water from the boiler will come in at about 20C and rise to 60C after 2 - 3 hours in a 24 hr period at this time of year. I have a poorly insulated pipe run underground from the boiler approx 10 m and I'd say I...

Hi apple1. When you say you can "grasp and hold the exit pipe from the boiler and it is only moderately warm" are you handling the flow pipe beside the boiler or beside the manifold? At this time of year I run my UFH for about 2-3 hours a day downstairs and 1 hour upstairs. I've set the...

I have extended recently and there are quite a few hairline cracks on the hardwall internally. My engineer tells me this is normal as the extension is tied to the original build. Is there any specific product that I can use to fill these cracks?

stiple painting advice I'd use a roller as recommended by previous poster. But beforehand brush he ceilings with a soft household brush to take off the long pieces of stipe. Otherwise they'll come on the roller and make the painting a slower job.

Leo, I dont think that would be advisable. Why not?

I wouldn't bother with the moisture absorbers to catch humid air from drying clothes in bathroom. I have a condenser dryer. I dry clothes outside in a covered area and then put them in a dryer for 20 mins. As previous posters have said drying clothes indoors is asking for mould to appear on cold...

nice one lol

I'm trying to book flights for Easter 2010 to Tenerife from Shannon. I can get flights out in late March but nothing coming back in April. Is this because the April 2010 onwards schedule has not been announced and if so does anyone have an idea when the schedule will be announced?

Don't forget to lock the door before you go to the locksmith.

The Shannon Shamrock in Bunratty and the Bunratty Castle Hotel have good standby rates at the moment. Pop down to Durty Nelly's for a pint. I'd get the train to the main railway station in Krakow (Krakow Glowny) which is just 5 mins from the Old Town Square. It's about 2 euros. If there are...
