There is one in the Mill yard of lakeland dairies in Killeshandra, lying there several years now, worth a spin up to take a look? The Mill is closed down since lot year, all milling now done in Lough Eigish.

We had to bring our second lad down to Cork for an operation about 8 years ago after he nearly removed the top joint of his little finger (don't ask). One of the senior nurses in the peadiatric dept told us if trampolines were banned it would halve the A&E workload on summer weekend afternoons. She reckoned the safety nets were only leading to worse injuries as the kids had mucj farther to fall once they went out over them.

heard a guy on radio that rents out bouncy castles, and he was saying that most of the damage and injuries happen when the kids are gone home, and the drunken parents decide to have a go on the castle.

the smaller trampolines are the most dangerous as the kids are on top of each other, we have a 13ft one about 6 years , i would say the kids where on it twice this year if even that

Do a bit of stone paving and a client asked what was the best stuff to clean it after taking a few k of her for the laying of the paving I told her to use DAZ washing powder. She was convinced it would be no good as she had gone to a stone center that had stone cleaner at 130 euro a bottle. After a bit of toing and froing I cleaned it for her use the daz as I said she paid for the job and was real happy with the finish when I told her it was the daz she called the stone center robbers and thiefs.:D:D:D:D:D

Throw a shot in to a bucket of hot water and scrub away if its real good paving a power washer will bring it up.

We have used a granular product called Hydrosan. Wear gloves and goggles, a skite in you eye would be serious.

What would you use to clean old limestone flagstones (aprox 150 yrs old) they are in the kitchen & hallway in an old farmhouse that we are in the process of renovating.

I spent over an hour steam cleaning one flag & it looked no different after.

What would you suggest to seal them after I have them cleaned.

i spent the evening searching for a non existant Heifer. I thought i had dropped over one more than i had. after 3 hours of searching through fields,neighbours fields and checking the boundary fences i decided to go home and count the cards and check herdplus. i feel like a complete ass, but i picked a lot of stones while i was getting p1ssed on.

Can you stick up a pic as old ones could have oil and grease on them. If you are renovating and the house is in rag order you could sand them up and re honr them. Definitely seal them after cleaning.

In pubs 150 years ago, stale beer was used, seemingly it brings up limestone flags nice and bright. Only know this because it was on the Antiques Roadshow years ago. The Beer would rot the feet off the tables, and that is how you know a genuine 1800's piece of pub furniture, the feet have been replaced.
