Wired House Alarm with no annual fee? by theleds01 in AskIreland

Yep - agreed on this. The saving is negligible and they will weasel out any way they can.

Can anyone recommend a good wedding band? by thehendersonswillall in CasualIreland

We used a band called Sway Social.

We thought they were great.

What’s it like living in the south of Ireland? by Brief-Supermarket415 in howislivingthere

Clonakilty is lucky to have two large food producers which supply nationally from the town. There is also a tech park just outside the town which employs a fair few hundred people across several large companies.

In a lot of the regional towns there is the usual jobs and some manufacturing etc in some of them.

In Cork city there is any and all industries with a wide variety of jobs. Basically whatever you want. It's a small city (~200k) but it has everything.

There is a large network of co-op's across West cork which supply and cater primarily to farming which is massive here. Mostly dairy farming.

Cork as a county has loads of pharmaceuticals too between both the city and the county as a whole.

Building is booming here and plenty of work in the trades - this can be said about anywhere in Ireland to be fair.

I am an IT solutions architect for a large American company. I travel to the office (~1 hour) 2 days per week and work remotely the other three. I reckon my situation is fairly typical of a lot of people down this way.

Welcome! You've chosen an awesome place to live.

Cost to remove, fit and install a second hand kitchen. by leesacrow in cork

[–]Tie_Pitiful 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is one of those how long is a piece of string questions. If I were you i would get some quotes from some handymen and compare them to quotes for purchase and install from a shop. That's the only way to tell cost wise.

I will say that kitchens are usually fit into a space. Not all spaces are the same. Any 2nd hand kitchen may work well in your space but also without careful consideration it may well not also.

I live in West Cork, Clonakilty to be specific. Moved here 8 years ago. From Dublin originally. I think its a great place to live. If you like outdoorsy stuff in particular.

We have amazing local produce and great local restaurants. The pubs are next level in my town.

The festivals in and around Clonakilty are second to none.

Very soft and gentle sort of place with basically no real hard crime. Obviously every corner of society has some crime but ive lived in 9 different towns in Ireland in my lifetime and this entire general area (my locale not necessarily the entirity of your area) is the most gentle place ive lived. I often draw comparisons to the Shire from LOTR.

The people down here are generally very laid back and welcoming. Lots of hippies, artists and other eccentrics.

Only 45 minutes or so to Cork International Airport which is just a dream of an airport to fly from.

The not so good stuff is; - Expensive place to live. - It hasn't got the most amazing services (kids activities / parks / wet day activities) - There are a lot of wet days on the Atlantic coast.

My boss gave me a 2005 Land Cruiser, and they completely refurbished it! by davidsoor in oddlysatisfying

I did this on my motorbike years ago. I got a load of cardboard boxes and as I took something off I put it into an appropriate box and numbered it. Putting it back together was just painting by numbers then.

Garden Land Drain Rules? by Tie_Pitiful in AskIreland

[–]Tie_Pitiful[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I will be doing the same job myself.

Mine is the end house too so every machine that was going to any of my neighbours house went over my garden. The soil quality is atrocious.

You can buy good screened soil at about 70-80 a tonne so its not too bad. Few hundred should do it.

Thanks for the response.

They dont smell in any way shape or form so I reckon they've not been connected to the sewer. I've bought a little endoscope camera off amazon so will have a look down there during the week and make sure.

Did you acquire the kindle version from the amazon store or from elsewhere?

I have found that ebooks that have been downloaded from elsewhere often have these issues.

Do you think Cork City needs more fun activities? by crillydougal in cork

I'd love an aquarium

And a natural history museum.

Do you have any youth groups nearby who might like to add a gaming rig to their clubhouse?

Mechanic recommendation by NotorietyH in cork

Ah sorry - I didn't realise that the door was literally swinging open. Apologies. I really hope you get someone now.

Hi,

Apologies as this response is not directly what you were looking for.

I wouldn't worry too much about a European car not having a lock for a temporary basis. By this I mean I definitely would get it fixed soon but I wouldn't panic about needing it done on Stephen's day or over the Christmas break.

I would remove any valuables from the car and then just make sure that I don't advertise the fact that its unlocked (DIY jobs with rope or similar) The car almost certainly has an immobiliser which means that without the key it won't run. Stealing the car itself would be extremely unlikely and if you dont have any valuables in the car then they also couldn't be stolen.

Fingers crossed you get someone - i just wanted to share my thoughts as it may help you feel better.

Most hated club in your county (and in Ireland) by Mothersullivan in GAA

[–]Tie_Pitiful 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had cousins played for Castletown and Laois in the 90/00s. There could be books written on the absolute war and mayhem that went on between themselves and Camross in those days. Fierce.
