Trying to pick a kitchen for a house presents a crazy amount of options. What are people's thoughts on the MDF/PVC vs painted wood for the cabinets, and silestone (quartz) vs laminate for the worktops? Especially considering kids, it's not going to be a show kitchen by any means.
Have people's painted wood cabinets chipped? Does laminate peel/wear out quickly?
Has anyone installed pocket doors or looked into them? I'm aware of the pros (look cool, save space). But are they still bad at soundproofing and squeaky? Or is this just ones that were installed 30 years ago
I posted this in r/Ireland also, but most of the companies mentioned are tech/Dublin based. So reposting here
It looks like there isn't an easy to find list online with different companies paternity leave. It seems like most just give the statutory 2 weeks off at €200 per week.
I'm also aware of the statutory 9 weeks parents leave at €299.
This is about what companies go above and beyond.
This would be a massive consideration when looking for a new job or staying with a company knowing this kind of benefit is available, given the financials of having a kid, childcare etc.
What did anyone else get and where?

With the current heatwave, anyone in a new build with a heat pump, can you use it for cooling? Not talking air con style down to 10 degrees or something crazy, but stopping the house getting over 20 degrees?
