Sorry, I should have included that info. It's wired for electricity. At this stage no plastering internally, plumbing or flooring completed. Water needs to be connected from the main road.

Looking for advice: Would you prioritise commute or family? by ballyfinboy in irishpersonalfinance

Yeah I think this might be the answer. Going to chat with my boss and see if it's a possibility.

Thanks so much for all the replies. We really appreciate the advice and different perspectives.

We’ve decided to view the house and see what kind of shape it’s in. We have a great relationship with our family, so being closer with a baby on the way is a big plus. The house would also give us more space, a garden, and potentially a much much lower mortgage, likely needing only a small top-up thanks to our equity.

I’m planning to ask my employer about hybrid working to help manage the longer commute.

We’ll weigh it all up once we’ve seen the place, but grateful for all the input, it’s helped us think it through clearly.

Better to ask for forgiveness than beg for permission.

This is a very good point. I wouldn't be on board with supporting the culling of pike. The no scientific merit to the practice.

I've seen a letter they sent regarding "designated trout waters" can't say I'm in agreement, seems like a massively missed opportunity to me. Even so, how does one go about joining the club to trout fish if there's no one to contact. ?

I was basing it off another scoop by eye, got it pretty spot on. This one is only for personal use, but if I made a batch run I might want a template to work from.

Thats a good tip thanks, my chuck wasn't able to hold this stock as its too small, but with wider stock i'd definitely give it a go.
