    Looks like something dodgy going on

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    I know it's still awaiting a final decision but how is this sort of stuff allowed fly?!

    I've been trying to get the council to follow up on some stuff the developer was supposed to complete in the new estate I moved into. After 4 months I've gotten the council to agree that there have been 'construction changes' from the plans, but they don't seem too pushed to actually do anything about it. I get the impression if the developer gives them some half-baked excuse the council would be more than willing to swallow it whole and move along.

    Paid a booking deposit. 4 bed, €680,000. Rates are going higher soon. Tell me I’m crazy 😜

    I took the above photos in Archers Wood today. It is like a far more upmarket and modern version of Charlesland.

    Build quality is very good. However I’m surprised that homes at this price point don’t have solar panels. It also seems odd to me that they have letterbox’s installed in those expensive composite front doors, the current trend is to install post boxes instead as this helps keep these homes airtight. Minor points really, overall these homes are very tasty. I’m sure the new residents will be very happy with their new purchase.

    it's ridiculous that PV panels aren't mandatory on all new builds at this stage.

    There is a road from Archers Wood connecting into Eden gate, the estate beside it, which is currently blocked. Does anyone know if this will be opened?

    We are looking at a house in Eden Gate and access from Archers Wood would shorten the journey home from Greystones direction as we wouldn't have to travel up the main road (R774) to the top roundabout and come back down again to get into Eden Gate.

    Open to correction, but as far as i know, this will only be open for pedestrian and cycle access.

    according to the plans, it's a pedestrian/cycle route, though it does look like they've left space to open a road in the future:

    That is good news for pedestrians and cyclists, but the pain in the arse for car drivers living in Eden Gate remains!

    yeah, even a one-way road so drivers could get into Eden Gate that way, while exiting via the existing road, would be useful. I still think it ridiculous they built an underpass for the farm but not for the housing estate - they could have accommodated both with one underpass...

    For anyone that has moved in to Archers Wood, with regards to the house being wired for high speed broadband, and approx 4 data points around the house. Has anyone implemented a home network using this installed infrastructure?

    It seems that once you get an ISP to provide a modem, you can then use either the ISP’s modem to then route broadband around the house using these data points, or purchase your own switch to then run broadband from your modem to the rest of the house using the installed cabling.

    I live elsewhere, but what you describe is possible. I have about 10 Ethernet points in my own home, I connected these to a gigabit switch which is plugged into the ISP's modem. Easy and cheap to implement and works well.

    Thank you for that, that’s quite useful. And, can I ask, are you just connecting devices that need access to the internet, via Ethernet. Or have you connected PoE access points to these 10 Ethernet ports? And connect them via Wifi?

    A mixture.

    I have 3 Wifi routers points plugged into ethernet points like the one shown below. This provides me with a strong wireless network throughout the house. I also have devices that require a lot of bandwidth plugged into network points such as:

    • TV
    • Various streaming devices (such as 4K Apple TV)
    • Work PC
    • iMac

    Thanks, appreciate that a lot! I would imagine I’ll do something very similar!

    It’s not expensive or difficult once the cables are installed.
