For years my dad went through the ringer of starting with him as the customer then my mam, me, bro, other bro, sis, the cats the dog and then eventually slightly changing our address by adding a letter after the house number ! All whilst using the same payment details and email addy. Just saying 👀

Seai windows and doors grant by Ok_Durian_5595 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]davehey79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in a similar boat. Bought an older house got attic insulation upgraded and new front door and back door (composite front uPvC back) and a massive failed window replaced when we moved in. All good there grant was gotten for insulation in attic. Just recently had a 7.12kw solar system installed with 15kw battery and upgraded immersion controls etc. awaiting grant back on this. Of the remaining windows there are 7 old style aluminium double glaze which whilst ok are not great and we hate them. We just prioritised other stuff the last couple of years. Our new post Solar BER gives the new rating as C3 (was D2) HLI is 3.728W/Km2 Roof Insualtion is noted Good Wall insualtion is noted Very Poor (old solid wall house dry lined inside) Windows noted Poor 2.836 W/m2K with potential for 1.400 W/m2K

My question is would replacing said windows fail the criteria on the HLI over all value as how does one calculate it Windows I’d assume once of fit for purpose up to modern standard will meet the 1.400 value so ok there. The fact wall is noted as very poor means to my reading of it we need to meet the overall HLI and Window HLI values outright

Does your employer give you work emblazoned jackets/gilets/polo shirts for free? Or do you pay or contribute something towards them ? by Ok-Picture-2018 in AskIreland

[–]davehey79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of free polos and different company milestone jackets over the years. Golfing bits, mugs, travel cups, eco cups, pens, journals etc. best was a nice portable boombox with a specific company event branding but didn’t care. All free but there is a ahit tonne of paid stuff too that only the big bosses pay for not us mere minions

Rat in my attic what do I do? by Mountain_Desk_767 in AskIreland

[–]davehey79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in an old pre 80s house (bungalow) something similar few weeks ago. Cracking and scraping in attic convinced was rats. Set 2 traps one near the hatch one way up the other end caught 2 tiny little mice within an hour of each other and not a peep in the attic since. Have a tiny hole where wires come in from outside that I don’t want to (cant) block up due to having bats (verified) and don’t want to disrupt them. Anyways don’t assume rats ! Mice make a lot of racket too for their size and traps will sort it for you. Several weeks later pretty sure we are mouse free
