We recently made an update to our renovation calculator. You can still manually calculate the cost of a renovation in Ireland, but now you can also use AI Snapshot to pull the data for you. You just have to paste a URL from MyHome.ie or Sherry Fitzgerald or other agents (except daft 😔) or upload a photo of a kitchen or bathroom. My thinking was if I am at a home viewing to buy it can give me a quick sense of how much it could cost.

I'd love for you guys to check it out and let me know what you think! Any feedback is welcomed.

But also, I built this because I'm in the market for a home and every other house needs a renovation. Now that I actually know the costs, the math is just not mathing? Are people out there genuinely doing full renovations and just paying the extra cost? Or is everyone just... not doing them? If you did do a full reno, was it worth it?

Curious to know!

Thanks!

Hi there any recommendations for someone local to makes wedding cakes? Needed for August 30th in Donegal Town, will be 100 adults at wedding. Thank you!

Been in bundoran this past week with the kids and it’s safe to say I won’t be back again, the amount of open drug dealing on the streets and the pubs are full of them too kids no older than 16/17 out of there minds on whatever they’re taking

This used to be a family hotspot for us growing up now it’s a kip!

Hi folks

Can anyone recommend any good mechanics, ideally specialised or familiar with modern Toyotas and based near Letterkenny?

Thanks

Bus service on local link canceled 1 km walk now from its new stop. This is terrible news for visitors that spend plenty money when there here on holidays

Hi everyone 😊
I’m a 25-year-old woman, new to Linsfort, Buncrana. I’m currently a stay-at-home wife with no kids, and I often find myself feeling a bit stuck at home with not much to do apart from house chores and going for walks.

I’m really looking to meet new people, make friends, and have someone to talk to or spend some quality time with—maybe coffee chats, walks, or just good conversation.

If anyone is in a similar situation or just looking to connect, feel free to reach out. It would be really nice to make some new friends locally 🌸

Looking at the list announced today. Why does Donegal have so few? I knew sewage is a problem for Lough Swilly beaches but there’s a lot missing if that list

Hi, I’m a young chef looking to forage my own mushrooms. Little luck last summer. I’m living in letterkenny and just want to know if anyone has some areas they would like to share where they have come across any. Chantrelles are my go to. Thanks!

Please be mindful if you're visiting the lighthouse this summer the road and the small area up at the red gates is used by the local link bus. The drivers turn up at the gates and need some space. The road and parking area at the gates is council owned and clearly marked by a sign at the visitors center entrance as coach parking only. I got a call from the garda to move my car last week as I didn't see the coach parking sign.

Hi,

Looking for someone reliable who cuts grass around Donegal Town?

Hi folks,

My friend and I have a medical exam for the reserves on Friday in Dublin, and we are getting picked up from the Clanree Hotel after 3pm on Thursday. I will be coming over from Derry and looking for a reliable place to park overnight. Any recommendations?

Thanks

Hi everyone!
First of all I’ve got the opportunity to move to Laghey. Don’t shoot! I’ve seen another post and someone commenting that “I thought everyone moves out of Laghey.” But I need a wee place for me to start over. I don’t need too much. Any Laghey native to tell me how it is like to live there?

I saw a few chef roles advertised recently and I’m considering applying, can anyone share any info in working there, esp chef roles?

What are they like to work for?

Are the pay/conditions good?

All info appreciated!

Hey all. Wondering if anyone is missing a tabby cat or knows someone who is around the Donegal Town area. It followed me home a couple of nights ago and it's appeared again outside my house. Think it's female, haven't properly checked, but it's very friendly.

I don't have Facebook so thought I'd try here first.

I'm travelling for work today and i need to get a couple of bits, is there a decent shop?
