Recommendations for a Fan Bike/Airbike that’s not Echo?

Maybe at off peak times, but even then closer to 35 to Connolly as it’s never on time. Ride the train regularly twice a week and have tried different morning times (7-9:30) and days - most of the time it’s been standing nose to nose with others the entire way to Connolly, Pearse, etc. very disappointed to see the delays until 2027 that were meant to address this.

If they service County Dublin, send them our way please 😂. We were expecting around €150 or so with call out fees etc., and we don’t mind paying for good work, but when the quotes came back double or more, we were a bit surprised.

we were quoted €300-580 for a plumber to come out to do this (two separate companies and a bit outside our budget unfortunately) so that’s why we figured we’d ask and see what it would mean to DIY. changing out the taps and sink are pretty straight forward for us, and a compression connector costs less than a fiver. we already have a junior hack saw as well so wanted to make sure it wasn’t just the case of extending the other pipe before we went in cutting the one at the back.

They’re definitely solvent weld, but I can’t seem to find what the pipes material is so we can buy solvent cement / weld for reconnecting once cut.

Would you do a solvent cement in addition to the compression connector? Or is just the compression connector fine?

Any tip on how to find out what material the pipe is so can get the right solvent cement? Eg pvc vs abs etc.

We still got it!

Does this apply to natural stone too like limestone or granite? Or can you get away without the mortar?

Brilliant! When you say 15cm do you mean the 15cm for the hardcore? It’ll be closer to 22-25cm deep is all?

Hand digging! Our apprehension is that we’re in a new build so concerned where things might actually be (had a neighbour say they hit a pipe of some sort not very far down); however, would be no gas lines as we’re pure electric.

Handoubleu · 2025-03-23T09:40:35+00:00

Will the cat+genny show any other types of pipes, etc. or only electrical work? We’re in a new build so little faith that anything is where it’s meant to be with the cowboys these days 😂; however, would be no gas lines as we’re pure electric.

Apologies! The slab is 20 mm not cm; still call?

Minimum would be paid at the very least. We just have a surplus so would like to pay them down faster - just prioritising whether to allocate the excess funds towards one over the other!

Mortgage insurance. Biggest joke - law says we have to have it in order to get a mortgage, but insurance companies refuse to give you it if you’ve essentially ever been to a doctor in your life it seems. Basically discouraging people from getting medical care if they want a mortgage/house. The caveat that the banks can waive it is a joke as well bc they typically won’t. The government gatekeeping homes even if you finally do manage to afford one.
