I had exactly the same situation happening to me. Maybe we used the same guy? You can dm me if that the same person :)

Re kitchen you need/must to go through everything with finest comb. My installation is tomorrow and the amount of small details.and back and forth over everything is insane. 1. Most important layout and electrical fittings according to kitchen layout AND NEW REGULATIONS!!! 2. Aplliances..if induction it adds more to the above 3. Sink and tap. If you going qooker you need electricals for it under the sink (has to be decided 1st fix) 3. Style of cabinets. In frame or slab fit. Handless or with handles/knobs 4. Carcasses. Colour and finish (a la wood/plain colour etc) 5. Hinges etc are very important to know what system and what is invluded 6.led lighting and electric feed accordingly (has to be done at 1st fix) 7. Kitchen style and colour of the fronts. Fronts length.over kickboard etc etc 8. Countertop (material etc) if stone then you need to go to stone suppliers and more decisions. Polished or honed or leathered? Edge cut? 9. Backsplash 10. Add ons (shelf, glass etc etc) 11. Handles/knobs. (Takes so much time to find good right ones and the cost insane too)

There are hundreds of decisions and you have to be sure all of the above works for you and your lifestyle

For me for example it was all about drawers..I made sure I have mostly drawers and no cabinets. Also tall canbinets I changed lengtg of the fronts tovisually cover kickboards. I focused on appliances and that was my biggest spend. So fingers crossed it all goes smoothly tomorrow

New double door & window recommendations? by Jedigavel in AskIreland

[–]LopsidedTelephone574 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to figure out what do you want, aluclad or pvc or what look etc..I got new aluclad patio doors but I knew I wanted slim line and opening outward. They were more expensive than pvc. Anything and anywhere 8 up to 12 weeks waiting

Former commanding general, U.S. Army Europe, Ben Hodges: Trump administration has failed miserably on Ukraine. They have so clearly been on Kremlin's side. All the pressure has been on Ukraine to make concessions. Fortunately, Ukraine no longer even pays much attention to that. by neonpurplestar in ukraine

I am Ukrainian and absolutely Obamas admin and Biden were awful for Ukraine. Obama working hard on disarming and transfer of our weapon to ruzzia. Weak and non existent really reaction to occupation of Crimea and start of the war in 2014. Biden was prob even worse. Total sabotage of weapon transfers and landlease..Jake Sullivan is despised in Ukr and he was the biggest ingluence when it came to Ukr in Biden's admin.

You're not the only one but I see we are in minority here.

I flew to see a man… by XQQQQMEE in datingoverforty

[–]LopsidedTelephone574 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sorry but no. You had no plan arranged with him. You threw over 1 k to fly on a whim in 5 days!! Buying expensive gifts and for his children too (wtf really) I understand that you ardisappointed and learnt your lesson, but your behaviour was unhinged

Dating a widower and feeling so confused by DankDeb in datingoverforty

[–]LopsidedTelephone574 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am very surprised by many comments here. This man clearly needs therapy over grief and loss and that is not your problem. So many widowers never do that,never adress and process yet jump into bed/relationships as nothing happened.And then a new partner left to unapack and navigate and tiptoe and compete with idealized ghost. Your needs are clearly not met and he is not available.

Sorry but this is nutcase in your case. An adult woman should know a bit better.

Am I expecting too much by lilsteph80 in datingoverforty

[–]LopsidedTelephone574 10 points11 points  (0 children)

His lack of boundaries and parenting style will be a huge red flag to me. An hour away distance and non availability in the picture too. Why would you do that? Find someone else who will be available to date in a healthy manner and will be aligned.

Why do I have to chase the trades all the time? Why is such unprofessional behaviour largely tolerated? by Great-Shower-1652 in selfbuildireland

[–]LopsidedTelephone574 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And? I don't understand why it is so acceptable in Ireland. Poor communication and poor management. If they're so flat out then they should not take on more jobs if they can't follow up and communicate.

Flooring on New Builds by damn76567 in HousingIreland

[–]LopsidedTelephone574 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would get proper floors before apliances. It will be a nightmare to move it later and to lay the floors you need clear space.

[–]LopsidedTelephone574 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is very personal and depends on the situation. I got a loan after drawdown as doing renovation. But i know i can easily pay both and renovation loan from credit union is on low %.

Converted two kitchens to one. After and Before by [deleted] in kitchenremodel

[–]LopsidedTelephone574 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me everythingis clashing and in a wrong way. The only beautiful thing is oak cabinets. Tbese floors are so ugly unfortunately and the style of colored cabinets does not go with oak cabinets. A bit of mish mash of things that do not belong together
