General discussion / Re: building a house

« on: February 17, 2019, 11:57:05 AM »

Hi all Ive been a long term reader/fan of this board and rarely have the time to contribute, but am building a 3500 sguare foot house and am looking advice on the following if theres any peoiple with experiences, Id appreciate this, ive seen a lot of stuff so its real experience im looking without the blurb.
1) Efficient heating system - at this stage Im almost certainly not going for ufloor heating - too many scare stories, so I need to go for a different system, assuming rads and probably oil - is there any options? Also insulation needs and eg heat recovery systems / solar panel experiences etc.  Pressured water systems.'
2) Smart home systems - Surround sound in a couple of rooms / lighting / security cameras / bband /tv etc.  What are the options on a sensible enough budget?
Thanks
JPF

Game not till Sunday lads. More than likely the snow will have gone by then.

More snow in Omagh again tonight

What about Omagh pitch, still snow lying on it?
Any other venues being considered such as Coalisland/Edendork?

I've bought 2 iphones through this company : https://second-handphones.com/

Shipped next day delivery and both worked perfectly. Prices were way better that anything I could get locally ..

Just bought one off that website today
About £75 cheaper than 2 high street stores
Fingers crossed it doesn’t give any bother

We’ll see what KG is made off but I wouldn’t be holding out much hope. Would be delighted to be proved wrong!

I’d have thought this is a good thing. The court  case was challenging the fact that civil servants didn’t have the power to make the decision based on the Buick judgement. Now that the legal challenge to this has ended are Civil Servants now free to retake the decision based on the new powers bestowed upon them by Karen Bradley

No powers until March 2019 and I believe they will be very rulunctant to exercise these powers in controversial cases

Has been a complete shambles from day 1
The Dept for Infa and their predecessors have made some balls of this project
Compare the A5 to the progress on A6 (Drumahoe/Dungiven and Ranalstown/C’Dawson)

What about the M50 toll?
Got a letter from back in August when it wasn’t paid
Northern reg car and address

If it’s your first time they’ll let you off if you call them up and offer to pay the toll. If you make a habit of it they can seize your car in extreme cases. I’d pay up, its only 3 euro.

Not after this in time I’d say it’s around €50/60 if it’s from back in August!

It’s €11 at the minute
Letter landed the day

Sinn Fein will hardly go parliament to vote this through?
Will it come down to this small of numbers
Could be an option?
