I posted about a place on Roys and he took it down .Before I started driving a taxi I ran a property maintainance business and most if not every multi story developement would fail a proper inspection .Builders didnt give a fuck Balconies fitted with Rawl Bolts to brickwork windows and doors glewed in with Tec 7 .One of the best adaptations was the appartments on the top of Chappo Hill The Spires  I think they are called   .The original entrance was off the Ballyfermot Road but now it is off Chappo Hill so the address changed any snow or ice or even wet and the entrance which is about 1in 5 incline is deadly .Who got a brownie to allow that .

They're back to fucking up any kinda shite using immigrant workers who'd consider a two storey cardboard box to be luxury. Holywell in Swords is another example, ever notice how there's no grip on the roads in there? Pyrite, pyrite and more pyrite....

Mates place in the sunny seaside town of Balbriggan was affected with the oul pyrite,had to move out of the gaff for 3 months while they made repairs.

The Coast in Donaghmede/Baldoyle is riddled with Pyrite.

Belmayne is ever so slightly upmarket from being homeless.

Still, paying €33  a week and HAP paying the rest, you can't really complain!!

Half the gaffs built in Donegal in the early noughties contained Muscovite Mica(Advanced Pyrite) and were signed off as being structurally sound....structural engineers are usually called in after the problem is noticed.

Well whoever the cnuts are that signed off should be shot with balls of their own Sh1t.

Remember Priory Hall , some people took their lives as a result of the same cnuts signing off

Priory Hall was some fuck up alright. As Hal noted there was a scheme in the beautiful seaside resort town of Balbriggan affected by pyrite but the residents seemed to be treated a lot better as the problem was resolved. The underpinning process was interesting though. After listening to some pub talk I drove up for a look a few years back, one of the gaffs looked like it was floating in air... I recall seeing something similar in that new scheme on Kettles Lane, Swords too... shoulda took a picture.

Self certification .A certifying engineer just signs off on the work not the fabrick he just says that the building is the shape it says on the box .

Take you a day to fit it John.....properly....including installing appliances....
Most of these kitchen unit suppliers just supply standard size units...grand if there's no custom fitting to be done.

Use to have use of a woodwork shop built my own carcases and doors went for shaker look as soon as I finished she didnt like the doors bought cheap foil wrapped shite from Wholesale kitchens broke me fucking heart trying to get the miters right on angled cornice .Softline panels in Cherry Orchard use to cut carcases for you handy if you were doing built in wardrobes and didnt have access to a good saw .Knew a lad worked for Oakline on the Long Mile they did fabulous work top range stuff 30K plus kitchens .I had a lovely Oak kitchen that was taken out of a house in Castleknock in the shed ended up dumping it as nobody wanted it .I would say most of the doors were nver opened it was just for show .

We have the same square panel oak with patina kitchen that i got done when we bought the house 20yrs ago,still in great shape...did a deal with the kitchen guy,fit the kitchen we wanted and leave out the wardrobes in the main bedroom...which i then did myself...the crap they were fitting...was the right move.

Yes me too initially . Then i copped that he was using the Bel of Belmayne to make Beller.
Still confuses me when people say Ballier as some refer to Ballymun and some refer to Ballyfermot

Google maps thinks Inns Quay is on the Dry Royal Canal Bank!
Google Maps thinks Latch Hill in Coolock is on Lorcan Green in Santry.
Google Maps has Merchants Quay in Cork Street.
Thank fu*k for the Ordnance survey maps.

It does the same when approaching Church St bridge..if you're heading towards Christchurch Hill,Nicholas St,Patrick St,it wants you to turn onto Arran Qy over Capel St bridge and depending on it's mood,either on to Parliament St or back up Essex Qy/Wood Qy.....i'd say there some confused Mytaxi men out there.
