Faldo's DIY General thread

[ciarancareyshurlingarmy]

I am half way through removing, cleaning and regenerating a shower unit. Miserable work. I carry a strong hum of chlorine mixed with silicon. It would need silage to mask the scent.

The stone is going on The wall chief

[Breaking_my_balls]

Nice. I looked into putting thin stone, or stone cladding, whatever you call it, on a wall out the back, looks very neat, will need to let the savings build up a bit again though

Good luck with it look forward to seeing the pics

[Faldo]

I’ve to say I struggle with stone work, I don’t have the patience but I’ll give it a lash

[Breaking_my_balls]

Would be beyond my scope, there’s a bit of an art to good stonework

[Faldo]

Ah it’s only a small bit… Lad I normally get is very busy but I’d chance a small bit

[Corksfinedtboy]

The field come back to life

[blackjack]

Cheers pal. You dont recall the company name by any chance I suppose? I presume they were land surveyors?

@blackjack

Good points and ones I’ve considered. People have tried getting all the neighbours together but as always when it comes to money plenty cunts suddenly go very quiet. One of the neighbours reckons the new developer told her they would be building a wall the far side of the trees so a lot of the neighbours are happy to wait for this.

Personally I believe this is complete bullshit as I can’t see two walls either side of the tree line, leaving a sort of no man’s land if you like. Who would have responsibility for the trees then if they fell etc?

You are dead right on the maintenance issue, I had a tree surgeon look at them already when I was getting another job done and he told me it would be quite expensive, especially if there was walls either side.

I’m sick to my arse waiting for someone to clarify the whole border and listening to a load of different theories as to what will happen so I’ve decided to do my own thing and sort my own site border

If you check the planning file for the new development (check the online planning on Meath Co Council website) The site plan will probably show a 2m high boundary wall or the conditions of planning will. Might even show the existing tree line.

A Clare fella owns it now and put a gate across and claimed we had no right way. For a finish the crowd in Waterford produced maps that showed we actually owned the passage down and half of his yard.

How did the Clare fella react to the news?

[Lazarus]

This is what ye want lads €130 all in, have it till Monday. They have bigger ones too for more rural dwellers

[Corksfinedtboy]

Invited the neighbours yet? Go on loads of room

[Lazarus]

Depends, what’s the story with Stone Age tellies? I have a couple that I wanted to chuck in but have been advised against it

[carryharry]

Been filling one for last 3 weeks, bit bigger than that alright.
I don’t know where she was hiding have the stuff dumped.

[Corksfinedtboy]

If they can be seen you’re goosed, won’t be long ref recycling centre open properly, my local one near accepts body parts if the little Mula passes swiftly - from " me to he" as the man says, on a serious note bury them , tell the skip man , drop him a e10 to dump them for you

[Lazarus]

Very good Cheers bai

[Fagan_ODowd]

The thing to do is load all the electrical stuff first then cover it with all your other shite.

Many recycling centers take old TVs anyway.

[Corksfinedtboy]

Not now though ( officially) if you’ve a lot of electrical crap they might not be too happy, but a little Mula always sorts it, but you’re right I’d bury the lot of twas me

[Fagan_ODowd]

I was a while figuring out that a little Mula was a little moolah and not a little

[Lazarus]

I was about to bring this up as a point of order myself but after a quick word with Mr McGoogle turns out Mula is indeed an accepted spelling
