    Replacing or refurbishing a gravel driveway?

    I got mine done with permeable tarmac a few years ago. Its what they use in big supermarket carparks these days. Its more environmentally friendly as it allows water to soak through it, rather than run off it. I still get some moss, but as a previous poster said, I just spray some water mixed...

    Key Post Which bank makes it easiest to open a new current account?

    I finally got around to starting the process of moving accounts this week. I already have a savings account with my local Credit Union. I tried to apply for a current account via their app, but it kept telling me that my proof of address was out of date. I uploaded a fresh one a few times, but...

    Electricity Meter in an apartment - how to sub divide? Pre Pay meter?

    you could put a "private meter" on the apartment and charge the tenant an agreed price per unit every month. That was something I did as a student, many years ago!

    Upgrading Room Thermostats for better control

    I've recently installed a Drayton Wiser system on a gas boiler. I find it very good so far. It allows me to have a separate wireless TRV in each room, so I can control the time and temperature of each room separately. So for example, I only have heat on in the bedrooms between 10 and 11 at...

    Out of contract - which energy provider is best?

    @Protocol I've no experience of One Big Switch, I haven't used them yet but I will be looking more closely at them once my EI contract is up. I assume the figures on their website are true and accurate, they were updated after the Bord Gais price increase at the beginning of this month. This is...

    Forcing Windows PRO (10 or 11) to use Windows Hello Fingerprint and disable all other login types

    I dont think so. It would be dangerous anyway, if your fingerprint reader failed (or you lost your finger!) then you would be locked out permanently.

    Are we encouraging people to not work.

    Talk to any retailer and they will tell you how messed up the system is. Most will find it hard to get mature staff to work more than 19 hours a week as they risk losing their Family Income Support or medical card, plus they may have to pay someone else to look after their children. A retailer...

    Vacant Homes Tax - 3 times the Basic LPT

    It seems nonsense to me. It doesn't apply to derelict houses. So a developer can buy up half a street and let it go derelict. Failing that, say you used it as a holiday home for 30 days over the year. Its self-assessed, so who's gonna say you didnt?
