Re: Hi All From Ireland
Welcome!
My great-grandfather came over from Kinsale to NYC in 1892. I've been to Ireland once, planned on staying a week, but ended up staying for three instead. I've never felt so much at home in another country. I met a few carpenters while I was there, in Kinsale actually. They complained that the quality of construction grade framing stock was terrible and expensive. Also, I saw a lot of concrete work over there, seemed like concrete as an alternative to stick framing is common. Send some photos! I miss the Emerald Isle of my ancestors. ! |

Re: Hi All From Ireland
thanks for the replys.
bodger : ireland has a habit of sucking you in. yeah block build is the main type of build but we have done a few timber frame.they are made off site they come to site on a lorry and lifted in with a crane. il start a thread with pics of how we do things. Id love to go to the US for a year or so to learn the way ye do timber frame. The economy is not great as we are in a recession.im ok at the moment touch wood with work till april next year and hope to have another house or two to do by then.
