You could give A&R supplies a call, ask for Brendan and ask if he could give a recommendation.

The difficulty with it is and a few of the other enquiries on this thread is that I’ve probably got less than two hours work for him now & another couple of hours after the tiler is finished, they are a bit like super models these days, don’t get out of bed for less than 10K

I had the same problem, possibly even less time required - zero interest. They do make very good money, some of it is even taxed :pac: Anybody good with their hands, and not wanting to go to third level - an apprentice plumber is not a bad shout. It can be quite physically demanding though, especially as you get older.

Let Brendan know your issue, chances are there'll be a lad hanging around in the store he might put you in touch with. But, regardless of time, it'll still be aminimum fee.

Would you consider artificial grass, AFAIK it can be fitted directly onto your existing concrete, so would eliminate possible expensive excavation work, considering it myself but it will be next year for us as doing other stuff this year.

Yea that is what I have decided to do but I have a few other bits that I need done out there. So was hoping to get someone in and get the other stuff done.

Need some spraying with systemic insecticide (probably one of the more unique requests on this thread).

Got a garden with multiple shrubs and trees.

Discovered a bit late that sooty mold was developing.

In short sooty mold is a symptom of infestation by bugs, in this case I believe it to be scale bugs.

They produce honey dew when sucking the sap out of plants / trees and this causes sooty mold to develop.

Trying the DIY / Woodies solutions but might need heavier artillery as the infestation is moderate.

Pest control companies seem to specialise in non plant bugs.

Hi all,

I know I've asked this question previously but does anyone have a recommendation for a cleaner.

Thanks

I just started a cleaning job on Monday in Brookfield Hall. Getting broke in as we speak. Can do cleaning at your abode, if required.

Hi there, Yflyer

Thanks for the post but I've actually managed to find something this week.

Mods May not be the best place to post so if not feel free to delete

Does anyone know of someone who requires house sitting in limerick for an extended amount of time?

I've been accepted to a masters degree in ul in September and its extremely intense and I'll be funding it myself but rent is more than I can afford.

If anyone knows of anyone travelling for work who needs someone maintain their home?

Give Tucon windows and doors a try, they fitted my front door and I found them very good to deal with.

I've booked Bathrooms4U. When I rang them to get a cost they said it would probably be September before they'd be onsite but that was dependent on how quickly we agreed an estimate then an on site meeting at a tile shop to pick out tiles, etc and agree a final cost and now my date for completion is for November.

I don't think I held them up so I'm assuming they're way behind in their schedule.

The one thing I like about them is that they the full job, strip our old and replace everything with new.

Hi,

Looking for someone to repair/replace a sofa strap (elastic webbing). Kids jumping on the sofa and one of the three straps snapped, on just one section of the couch. My section!

Small job, so hoping it can be done in my house.

Thanks!
