How did people find the electricity and gas set up process? We have been told to get the accounts set up and connected. Gas is being done this week. They couldn’t do the electricity as the wiring cert hadnt been issued.

In relation to the snag list - were the repairs carried out quickly??

We are still hoping to get in in December!!

Yeah electricity and gas was pretty straight forward for us, although we did end up changing provider. In regards to snags, they wore done in about 2 weeks. If they’re asking for your accounts to be set up they sound as if they’re on track to be honest, don’t want to get your hopes up tho lol, but the houses are looking good .

Woodburning stove? Check out the roofs again, there is no chimney

Best bet would be a Dimplex Oakhurst Optimyst for a realistic stove look

I’ve a king size bed, and it fits just fine, was a bit skeptical while putting it together, but it fits fine.

I'm still hoping for December as mine won't be tiled Laurie has assured me it will be done by then. Kitchen went in last week. Did you have many snags? Were they quick to sort? Also can you pm me who you got to snag if you don't mind?

Yeah, I actually think the front bedroom is bigger, but then again that doesn’t have an en suite

Would anyone who has moved in be able to tell me the window size of the sitting room window, master bedroom and patio doors. Looking for curtains/curtain poles and struggling to work out the size from the plans. Thanks

Ali2212 · 12-11-2018 9:25am

We asked Laurie for these. And she said all the houses would be different.. don't know how that works thou surely all the windows would be the same size. Maybe give her a ring and ask to ask the builder measure it.. x

Yeah apparently they're all slightly different, I haven't even got a measuring tape to measure my own, I've got my blinds but yet to put up curtain polls.

Can't really give an opinion on flooring, the phase I bought came with the turn key package, have to say tho very impressed , I'd say it might work out cheaper in the long run. As for appliances, I got all my own out of my job. You can get them all from cash and carry, I think for everything minus the washing machine and dryer it cost on and around €3000

For anyone that is already in,,,, where have you put your tv in the sitting room. We have a 55inch and I really don't want to put it on the wall but worried it won't fit to the side of the "chimney" breast..

line_of_fire · 18-11-2018 4:26pm

Hey guys I am due to snag in next two weeks. Any advice or anything in particular I need to be extra vigilant about. I'm not snagging myself have a top guy doing it but still any advice be great

I've put mine on the wall, it's a 55 as well. If you wore to have a 55 on the floor I'd imagine that would take up a lot of space.

Nothing really specific, maybe around light switches and sockets, and in and around the smoke alarms.

Sky tv, no broadband yet, apparently the fiber lines are getting updated. Having a nightmare trying to get it sorted.

I rather have broadband than the TV!! Are they actually working on getting it up and running or just ignoring you??

Well apparently KN networks have been updating the lines the last 2 weeks, and when I got on touch with eir my address doesn't come up on the system, so they've to set up something called an ard key, whether that is should only take a day or two, but I'm waiting 3 weeks on them to get back to me. So I just gave up to be honest
