European peoples are capable of building their own houses and cooking their own food.

Apparently not considering the current housing shortage.

Nevermind the fact that it was pulling teeth to get an Irish builder to show up.

    Depends on the builder, but like many, many constrained services in Ireland you'll do better if you (or someone you know) have a pre-existing relationship with them.

    Maybe it's a place thing also? I do know that we've never had any issues getting plumbers/electricians/roofers/general handypeople to show up, but we're in Dublin.

    • In Offaly I had to nag the hell out of builders to get them to show up, with reminder calls the day before and day of. The Latvians on the other hand arrived on time and got the job done.
