Excellent info, thanks.
Would hiring a sprayer be worthwhile if we were going to paint the whole house white to begin with?  Find painting tedious and would rather spend time taping up and bomb through the painting than spending days painting.

Cheers lads, checked out their site there and quite a few options. Looking to do a few walls and ceilings in a renovation so a mixture of newly plastered walls (some with dry lining some without) and old walls that have already been painted. Any particular types of paint I should look for, just going to do everywhere white for now.

General discussion / Re: Would you subscribe to dedicated RTE Sports Channel?

« on: July 17, 2017, 01:03:25 PM »

A sports channel would be interesting to a lot of people in this country but there are a number of issues, mainly price and ease of access.

There are so many services now offering different content and all want monthly subscriptions. For the regular viewer, the content is spread over so many services, that people are out a lot of money before they can actually access what they want to see. The big reason why the "android boxes" are winning is because the content is easily accessible in one place. People have one device that supplies them with all of the content, they don't need to pay a fortune to a variety of different providers and manage all of the subscriptions - one "android box" gives them everything.

A lot of people would be happy to pay for the content if priced reasonably and easily accessible. Media companies need to look at how they are offering the content to viewers and how the services can be coordinated if they really want to stamp out the business being lost to "android boxes"

Who in their right mind is going to pay €50 on top of everything for a sports channel provided by RTE.

Anyone find that the addons work in one house but the exact same device doesn't work in another? Both houses have BT broadband and the internet connection is working. When opening the add ons in on house it all works fine but in another it just says no stream available.

If you're heading for Vegas, 2-3 days would be plenty. The helicopter ride to the grand canyon is a good experience. NYC is a nice place to finish but very hard to get decent accommodation at a reasonable price.

How much would it cost to submit plans for a field in the north and how much is the whole process likely to cost?

Best option is probably a networked hard drive that can always be left on and connected to most devices. Then you get plenty of storage and its not device dependent. After that a htpc is probably your best bet to connect to it. Limits all depend on your budget.

 Im thinking about getting set up as a farm to get planning permission for a site in the north. What sort of evidence do I need to give for one of these applications.
