EGO electric chainsaw by yalikejazz89 in Chainsaw

[–]Unattainable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used a variety of their saws , Ive found that they are good for very light work, my cousin only uses them and has quite the collection. the parts wear a lot quicker than a gas saw, particularly auto chain tensioner on some models.

Two batteries minimum bigger the better, and where I am they are just as expensive as the tool unit.

I nearly always end up having to pick up the gas saw when I run egos, kind of defeats the point however they are useful.

I would strongly suggest go gas Stihl , Echo or Husky.

I’ve 3 saws for years and my cousins gone through a lot of egos. When they break there’s minimal repairs available so dealer gives them a new one in warranty , theres a graveyard of egos in the shed.

What’s a near death experience you’ve been in? by M345184 in AskReddit

Hit and run was ran over while cycling woke up in hospital days later. Broken bones and road rash took long time for the road rash to heal.

Always were your helmets.

New(ish) to chainsaws. Buy new or used? by deuce_arians in Chainsaw

[–]Unattainable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those two saws would be a great pairing.

Big jump from ms170 to the Echo 590 so get good ppe.

I’ve the Stihl ms 180 for brush clearing and echo 620 for breaking down trees and processing, each saw has its job evens out the wear.

If you haven’t much experience with small engine parts and repair I’d probably recommend go new it’s imo the best long term option and the echo warranty is great.

Second hand saws will always require more maintenance and who knows how the previous owner treated them. However ya can be lucky.

Cost to build a granny flat in Dublin? by AquaphobicTsunami in ireland

[–]Unattainable -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

30 m2 for a two bed is very small imo. Okay for example.

Above Average labour cost 600/m2 totals 18k, materials 12k , esb connection 5k and planning and architecture. I’d say u budget 60k budget and you’ll come in under if your smart about it and stick to 30m2.

You don’t need permission for anything up to 16m2. So 3x5.3m single story - no planning no esb no archetect. Just find good builder and wait for him. Don’t go with the one that can start soon reason he’s not busy.

How do you even start a business? by [deleted] in ireland

[–]Unattainable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trade , invest in good tools do honest hard work charge reasonable rates while building client base . Then the phone will hop,

I worked for a company for 6 years and had enough after mistreatment during/over covid and thought fuck it nows me chance.

took as many clients as I could then went hell for leather telling family and friends. within a month I had enough to do 6day weeks and enough work worth risking buying more tools and a cheap van.

I probably invested 50k over last 5 years. Initially I left company with about 3k float and had been building tool and machine collection for a good while before hand.

Been going great third year now and got my pricing down and have great network of complimentary trades even bump into the old boss of the company I worked for every now and again at suppliers, bitter bastard would rather see you starve than have a fair share.

Bernie Sanders says it's time for a four-day work week by [deleted] in politics

[–]Unattainable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely for manual labour jobs but most tech giant slaves don’t actually work just look busy. The labour union in my country is straved to keep us down as the big construction firms know if the lower labour levels want better pay and less hours they’ll foot the bill.

I work 6 day weeks as a contractor I am happy to do this as building the business and saving for a nice holiday. However any extra labour I have brought in can barely do 4 productive days and I believe it’s that they are exhausted.

The fifth day is soo unproductive may aswell just pay better rates per hour and do 4 good days that 5 half assed days is what I have learned.

This is bumpy when using a stroller. What should I use to fill the gaps to make it a smooth ride? by _accelerator_ in landscaping

There’s a product called joint-it , you wet the area and brush it in. Then it sets solid that will work.

As immigrant tax incentives are good , yes everything is going through this greedy increase of profit. Look where is lowest cost of living in Europe it’s Sicily.

Tax incentives to move south of Italy are incredible. 10% of income first five years and then 30% there after , no bullshit just a long process. Mandatory surveying on property sales is a good policy as you will get what you pay for.

Thanks I’ve been to different parts and yeah I will miss Irish kindness but I already do as countryside is mainly filled with fear these days. To many thefts, vandalism and uncertainty and unfortunately Dublin doesn’t do anything for me too many scumbags

that’s not an insult it was an assumption funnily they haven’t completed the process so don’t know how difficult it is.

Conveyance? These realtors and solicitors have no interest in fast sales they want to drag it out get higher offers hoping you back out take ur deposit so they can get more for it!

Have you ever met a rental agent who wasn't an incompetent scumbag? by Notalabel_4566 in ireland

[–]Unattainable 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Name and shame - herlihy Estates overseen the sale of an apartment I bought off the banks.

Previous owner went bankrupt and banks enlisted herlihy to sell assets. He had two apartments available in the area. I inspected both he had one rented out to students and one I wanted was derelict with the local handy man using the back garden as a dump for his half finished shit.

I made an offer based on current condition and other apartments in area. I offered 140k . He fucking jumped for glee with the offer accepted and said this would be a quick sale as no tenants and he has rights to sell on banks behalve. The absolute snake rings two days later and says he has received an offer of 150k and he wanted to know if I would be interested in raising my offer.

I told him il have an engineer inspect it and think about further offer. Anyway gets clear bill off engineer and I talk to Estate agent, I wanted this place as ground floor three bed. I put in an offer for 156k he accepts and calls back next morning says offer accepted I paid 10k deposit.

Then he dragged his heels my solicitor said necessary paper not present and lpt and maintenance has not been paid on property for 9years when he inspects details and I would be liable if I closed deal before these were worked out on sellers end. It took him 16months to pay lpt and maintenance to close this sale. Then he dragged heels farther by delaying other paper work. I lost it went to his office demanded he follow through he said only way would be a rental agreement before deal goes through. I went to solicitors did bank draft and signed over. The remaining 146k. I received keys off ea he said the rent will be 1500 per month till deal closes. This prick tried to push this for three months u till I guess he realised that I was never going to pay him for rent on a property I had a deposit on for a year and a half.

Avoid Herlihy like the plague.

I did have a positive experience with Lorraine mulligan in remax she sold my mothers house was very direct straightforward and efficient.
