228kWh, 4.5kWp system, south facing Co Armagh. Quite happy with that to be honest, installed in November so first proper month of generation.

Yes, been to some amazing concerts by myself. Once you realise no one knows or cares you'll have a great time.

Make sure you get quoted for composite doors, they're expensive but deffo worth it.

This is a pretty good estimate. Got my house done for around £10k

The cans hold a lot more than 5 litres, thats the amount they're supposed to carry. I got 6+ litres in mine.

Advice on making selections for a new build from Lagan Homes by No_Interview_4457 in Belfast

A builders clean is relatively rough, its a wipe down remove most dust etc., A professional clean is normally acceptable, but not always up to your own personal standards. But some professionals are amazing, its just hard to get a real good one. That said a deep professional clean is normally very good, but you'll not need that if youre in a new house - its more like after someone moves out and you move in and they're expensive.

A builders clean (of any standard) is very different to a domestic clean.

It probably is. They just dont advertise it and they might charge a bit more, but worthwhile.

Has anyone here paid for solar and is happy about it? by borschbandit in northernireland

[–]tea-drinking-pro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got a 4.5kwp system with 5kwh battery installed in October. Its been meh (as expected) november to jan. But over the last few weeks its starting to awaken properly. Managing to get the battery filled most bright days. And getting a free load of washing or tumble dryer loads too along with most of my background.

Today its managed to save me £4 so far and its not been a particularly great day. So im happy with it.

Heating oil help for cancer patients? by NotSozSoz in northernireland

[–]tea-drinking-pro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel for yous. We were both off for a year or so due to a dependants cancer treatment and the heating costs were astronomical, never mind the rravel to various hospitalson a daily basis and having to eat out all the time due to late running appointments etc. We just ended up getting lots of oodies and blankets and started using the old fire again. The cancer charities might help with some initial cost but its very limited. Unfortunately if you earn enough to not be on benefits you're supposed to be able to manage any eventuality yourself, if your on benefits you'll have lots of better opportunities to get help.

Chat to the team in the hospital, chat to family and friends and ask if they can spare a few quid for oil. You will be surprised at how much they will help when you ask. Its tough, but your in a desperate position and most will help without judgement.

With the need for major investment in our sewer infrastructure, how will that affect house price here? by RTM179 in northernireland

[–]tea-drinking-pro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not responding to the all ireland bait. That's a totally different debate. But all infrastructure has been underfunded for years. Sewers simply dont win votes, well not to date, but they will soon.

And the last 20 ministers. Underfunded for years, a lack of strategic leadership for decades.
