get out your breakfast-rolls

breaking news; the building boom is back

get out you wheelbarrow, your trowel, your steel cap boots,






and don't forget your shovel

I can barely contain the excitement

Every society and economy needs builders and developers - it's a vital function. No one has lost more than builders and ordinary tradespeople who simply pursued a fruitful career path in exchange for their contribution to society (ie what everyone aspires to do). As an orphan of that industry (who lives his parents whom also lost their livelihood in the crash), I can assure you that nobody is pleased about the world we find ourselves in today and history repeating itself due to political failure.

It's so long since I've seen a Dyna Crew Cab I nearly forget what they look like, when I see my local forecourt bumper to bumper with Crew cabs I'll know the boom is back.....not until then mind.

As someone who is trying to engage a builder to build a house they are actually hard to find and building prices are on the up because of it
1) Apprenticeships have been virtually no existent for the last 10 years
2) A lot of them moved to Oz and Canada

Only good thing about the recession was it weeded out a lot of the shoddy ones but they'll be back

Trying to get a plumber for small jobs? Forget about it.

You know the boom is back when you arrange to meet a contractor to get a quote for some work you need doing on the house and they don't bother to show up.

I know round us plumbers, sparks and chippies are all flat out and many don't bother quoting for local work as they have big jobs on in Dublin.
Was talking to a chippie and he had no time to do local work as he was working on a 90 unit student accommodation apartment in Dublin.

Are they also driving new crew cabs, taking their jetskis out at the weekend and firing their change in the bin after buying their breakfast roll?

Looking at the Breakfast Roll Index in The Economist, having spent years with a sliver of bacon and a skinny sausage we are now on full power
2 Sausages
2 bacon
2 puddings 1 black one white
Fried Egg
Hash Brown
Onions
Mushrooms
Ketchup/ BBQ or both

washed down with a half litre of filling station coffee- 4 sugars

Maybe rurally, in Dublin you can get a plumber for a 1 hour job no problem.

The reason you cant get them in the sticks is that once you factor in the call out cost and time involved getting there they'll have to charge a rate you wont pay for a small job.

Ah the Irish building boom… when any kind of standards go out the window.

We can't build them quick enough so just fire them up.

Quick to the gold rush before it ends.

We won't be there when it goes up/installed/sold blah blah blah.

Kind find shît yo do any small jobs/ small jobs get stretched out to months/never finished.

Yes the Irish building boom…

One who lives near me has a speed boat and third car at the house is a Nissan sports car imported from Japan just for weekend spins.
Boom is definitely back.

Onions on a breakfast roll? Are you on drugs?

Great news. Needless shoe box apartments here we come. Smarmy 16-17 year olds making loads of money and having a car , telling his mates who are either doing the leaving cert or going to college that they are wasting their time , and being half right .

Cocaine shall run freely again.

Hopefully the foreign girls , inevitably, who are behind the counter understand the importance of an Irish breakfast roll. The thought of even asking one whether they want pudding, and which one in their roll. What a ghastly question. Real Irish Men demand pudding. Good grief woman, one wants pudding and one wants both black and white ! And less of that Protestant English Hash Brown nonsense

Let us enjoy this short time of excess again.

Fianna Fáil are coming back baby. Galway Tent will be hoping, back to their spiritual home at the Galway Races

It won't properly kick off again though until Fianna Fail are fully back in power.

I'm getting a strong urge to put down some type of patio outside my back door... but made of wood!

DECKING I think it's called! Very Nordic looking it is.

It would be fitting if we reconstruct part of the Spire with a big statute to the "great man". Or many a glow in the dark statute place in the Liffey were once our beloved millennium clock once lay? St Luke's could be turned into a shrine.

Oh excellent!

Looking forward to losing the run of myself since I must have been one of the few saps that missed it the first time around. McMansion here we come!!

Ah , but, Presidency is only for 7 years, maybe 14. Statutes might be forever. Imagine when he dies, the rows of flowers that would be laid around the Spire.lol

Bertie for President so
