Hopefully a more accurate headline than many we’ve seen of late, but not holding our breath on that one.
We’ve whittled down our list of things for the builder to do:
- Main roof replacement.
- Kitchen flat roof replacement.
- Electricity – complete re-wiring.
- Plumbing – fitting of new back boiler stove, new cold and hot water tanks, etc.
- Knock two of the bedrooms into one, seal off one of the doorways, make flooring nice and insulated.
- Replace all ceilings, plaster and insulate.
That’s pretty much the whole budget used up, so the oil boiler I wanted is going on the long finger, as they say around here.
The featured photo in this post is one I took the weekend before last when we did a day trip over to County Clare on the Tarbert ferry. The view is of the dock on the Clare side as the sun was going down while we were waiting for the return ferry. It’s a really decent (if not particularly cheap) service – you can take your car/van/whatever over with passengers for under €30 return and it takes about 30 minutes to cross.
