    To include labour a timber kit clad with cement fibre board and a thin coat acrylic render would be the best option.

    @wrightyson don’t use that French weber stuff get on the K Rend, made in UK. Also do a lime render that is cheaper than cement render

    The Decathlon one is really surprisingly good. Also has a brake with the handle designed for small hands. £40 My 20mo loves it. It comes in pink, white or blue

    I shall take a look at the insignia

    womp I currently have an Insignia as my company car and I would have to say avoid! It has been in the garage 11 times in three years for a number of warranty issues. 2 intercoolers, electric handbrake x 2, numerous computer issues, blown turbo. It also eats pads and discs which are very pricey to replace. Just glad I dont pay for them.

    Its recently out of warranty and the power steering hose has blown which appears to be a know fault, see link below

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/watchdog/2012/05/vauxhall_insignia.html

    Its a pity because when its not in the garage its a really nice drive, comfortable and well equipped at a good price point.

    pussywillow I agree too many soft lads who have never worked on a site talking crap on here

    Many years render experience and adding fairy liquid is one of the biggest reasons for a weak mix and subsequent failures.

    Bet it was the cheapie stuff tho and not mild green fairy liquid…

    5 shovels sand to 1of cement and remember to squirt some fairy liquid into the water

    Never add fairy liquid to mortar or render it weakens the mix.

    A shovel and board is all you need its only 50 blocks

    Sputnik I’d prefer to not name the individual schools but they were in Durban, Grahamstown and Paarl. It was nandrolone that was used IIRC

    I rugby toured SA as a school boy and steroids were rife in schools rugby out there.

    Care to elaborate?

    Ok. I was on a month long tour and we played some of the top SA school sides. To keep costs down we lived with the families of the lads we played against. At 3 of the 7 schools we played I was told quite openly about the supplements that the players were taking, even some of the parents were involved as they wanted the status of their kid playing for the schools 1st XV.

    These have been the best I’ve used. The Cats I had were uncomfortable as the steel toe part wasn’t wide enought

    Bit harsh to just refer to the Welsh Wrecker, have you seen the Irish.

    Care to elaborate?

    Never mind the home nations; have you seen the South Africans?

    I rugby toured SA as a school boy and steroids were rife in schools rugby out there.

    In Ireland there was no steroid culture that I was aware of, I was 17 stone through beef, creatine and weights

    Thinking of trying a DE razor but they all look very bulky. How do you shave the bit under your nose?

    We went with a BT 250 sounds and temp unit. Great sound and very good range, can work in the garden etc and not worry.

    A family friend lent us the angle care thing but our son moved about so much it caused more panic than it gave in reassurance.

    I’d avoid the Madison Tempest as well. Poorly made and boil in the bag

    Even if all parties are keen to move quickly and the sols are on the ball there can still be unforeseen delays. We sale agreed 10 weeks ago and it looks like it will be another few weeks before completion. And that’s with my Mrs doing the conveyance!

    Good Luck!

    How long do you intend to visit for?

    As a rough plan from Dublin you could stop at this waterpark, bit of fun after the journey

    http://www.funtasia.ie/waterpark/home.aspx?AcceptsCookies=1

    Then its around a 1.5 hr drive to the Mourne mountains where you could stop for a few days (beaches, mountains, hiking, biking etc)

    http://www.discovernorthernireland.com/mournes/

    From here you could visit Belfast if you wished or start the A2 Antrim Coast Road

    http://www.causewaycoastandglens.com/portals/2/downloads/ccg_map.pdf

    On this notable stops would be Carrickfergus Castle

    http://www.discovernorthernireland.com/Carrickfergus-Castle-Carrickfergus-P2814

    Carnfunnock Caravan Park is great for kids

    http://www.carnfunnock.co.uk/

    Then Giants Causeway, Carrick – a – reade Rope Bridge, Dunluce Castle etc.

    You could stay a few days in Portrush or Portstewart for beaches and more traditional seaside stuff. Blairs is a good caravan park

    http://www.blairscaravans.com/

    After this you could go on to Derry or Donegal, possibly Glenveagh National Park.

    http://www.glenveaghnationalpark.ie/

    If you have any questions let me know.
