I’m sure there’s a way of adding it – will take until next week though
one thing i see is:
when you post to a thread – below the submit button are some options including
Notify me when a reply is postedslightly offtopic but liked this at the riai for their 5×10 event

‘Recession’
‘Green shoots of recovery‘
‘The Economy’
‘IMF/ECB’
‘Bottom of the market’
‘We’re all in it together’
‘Value engineering’
‘Wow Factor’
Any TLAs (Three Letter Acronyms)really not sure if the cyan in an improvement , and the other frontage is pretty devoid of any sort of imagination too.
CK has been removed from the site for his patently untrue allegations against me and the site and his paranoid rambling and inability to see sense.
Hate doing this but he’s his own worst enemy – and doing untold damage to his own cause – more so that a dropped poll or a thread disappearing down the google rankings.
Over the almost 15 years of this website, I have banned only a handfull of people – usually for repeated libel/slander, and do so for the health of the site.
Inline with standard procedure on forums, I shall not be removing his posts to preserve the integrity of the previous discussion.
Once again this site is free of any interference from any architectural organisations be those professional like the RIAI, or historical and conservation minded. I do not edit or remove posts without saying I have and for the usual reasons of libel or copyright infringement (sometimes I am asked to remove photos). I do not have an agenda other than getting the public to interact more with the built environment and to encourage discussion.
I receive no payment for doing this – other than what the site generates (not a lot). Indeed it is fair to say that the site has cost me a lot over the years, as it is a massive time commitment and stops me from doing nixers/projects for personal clients.
Hopefully ck-gate is now at an end.
You, Sir, are a nut.
I do not interfere with threads or take donations to change them.If the number do not co-incide that is merely an unfortunate site effect of the import of the old boards into the new boards or more probably the merging of the many many threads that you start on the same subject when you become bogged down arguing in circles. If the poll is gone, it is because of the forums merge.
Alternatively crack units of the MRIAI Ninja Taskforce may actually be hacking into your computer from their mountain lair in Wicklow
on every page of the main site – the latest 10 updated threads are displayed in the righthand sidebar
The site is always quieter at this time of year – has been since day 1 – reckon its the combination of people slacking off to do shopping, meet people and clearing their workload before holidays
wearnicehats agreed on the pvc which is why i used efficent rather than sustainable or similar.
Thing is we cannot all live in mud coated wattle and daub houses and to make inroads with the more standard-house-buyers you need to provide them with the usual expected building products. Small steps at a time and getting them to accept an architect designed house than should cost less to run is a step in the right direction
Will stick a link up top – if you go to archiseek pages, you’ll see latest discussion in right hand sidebar too
Aside from whether they would be go-ers in various counties, what’s good about these is it shows the public than an architect-designed and more evironmentally efficent house can be relatively cheap. That’s a big deal.
Got to say that the “counting house” looks like a dollshouse tacked on to the front of that scheme. Really want to see the drawings to judge this better as the renderings are overly slick and cliched – whats the red neon stripe on the river side view?
