The math is not mathing

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!

Camping at Sneem and Kenmare

Hi! I am planning a tour on hiking the Kerry way with my girlfriend. We don’t have a car, just walking and sleeping in our small tent. Do you know any places where we can camp with our tent in Sneem and Kenmare? At every other stage we found a campsite but not at these two towns.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What home renovations actually cost in Ireland?

Most people go into a renovation with no idea what things should cost and end up overpaying or running out of budget halfway through. Put together some real Irish market figures if anyone finds them useful. Happy to answer questions.

Muckross House, Killarney - July 1979

Some old slides I scanned - taken by my grandfather during a visit in July 1979. Felt they were worth sharing for posterity. (I am far left of the final picture in red)

Tralee circa 1982/3

Found amongst a collection of old slides Im scanning. This was an outing, pictured are brother, mother, father me and grandmother - occasion unknown, (dates guesstimated from brothers age in pic). Picture shared because of posterity.

AI (with my prompting of location/date) identifies this as:
The photo was taken in a car park that used to be located behind Castle Street. The key landmarks visible are:

  • The Pig ‘n’ Whistle: This was a popular music pub on Church Street during the late 1970s and 1980s. It was formerly known as Killeen’s and was a well-known spot for live music before eventually closing or changing names.
  • Ideal Furniture: This shop was a fixture in Tralee at the time. While the brand has since relocated and evolved, its presence here helps pinpoint this specific area of the town center.

Im happy to correct this if anyone knows better.

Looking for a location

This is a random slide found with others from Kerry (and Cork areas) from May 1978 - Id love to know where this is (I might have mirrored the slide by accident)
All I know is they arrived into Ireland via Cork, and went on to Dingle/Killarney and Castleisland in May of 1978
Id love to know where this is please - reaching out to the hive mind!
