Will be watching this thread with interest OP - Just so you know, I would be very, very unhappy if my Neighbour had CCTV oversight of my house and garden. Most especially the rear of the house, where you might expect to go about your business with even less observance from 3rd parties. Modern...

I don't think we've anything at home - In a non-hysterical, reactionary move, what would be a sensible measure to take here please? Thanks.

I clearly remember seeing promotional leaflets that were being heavily marketed/promoted/circulated by the banks at the time. The one that stuck in my head was a posed photo of a stereotypical supposedly "Irish" family made up of very attractive, Icelandic looking models. They were in a sunny...

Ah lads stop......Give the poor Fella a break will you....? Especially as I'm guessing this unlucky and out of pocket "friend" is the sort of poor fellow who is always slipping and falling on the floors in Tesco.

Someone I know has a Husqvarna one for the past 4+ years - Has been operating like a dream. The comment above re wet grass is nonsense. This little beauty runs night and day, leaves the lawns looking like a putting green 12 months of the year (No winter time 'rough' look) Yes they are...

Steel wool is what is often recommended for plugging gaps but I'd imagine it rusts into a mess and then loses its strength. I'd just get someone to mix up a nice consistency of sand and cement and tidily trowel it into any gaps or crevices and then smooth it out. Cheaper with less chemicals...

€305 for some lad to spin out to your house and put 2 bait boxes down.... That's criminal, especially since he only managed to place 2 to cover an entire house. Also you're right - If he had any interest in doing his job properly he could have checked the house and attic for droppings/signs of...

Shocked that 30k each is not uncommon in terms of spending when couples are separating. For either of the parties involved 60k invested in their new house and life would be a handsome start......

Happy birthday AAM & Congratulations Brendan !!! This Site has been so illustrative as to how much I know so little about with regards to financial matters! But at least it gives me a solid means and opportunity to steadily learn some more. ......Someday it may even make me rich (Crosses fingers)

OMG - This controversial window opening development is so exciting for your ignorant, small-minded neighbour. I bet they're sitting somewhere now, quietly dreaming of the Erin Brockovich-esque made for TV movie that will surely follow this blight upon their tiny little life.

Admirable attitude Niamh - Sorry you're going through the worry of this, I hope it all works out well, including this Landlord finding a manner or means deep within his or herself to communicate respectfully and efficiently with you. I'm sure you'll get great advice on here, wishing you the...

* All of the below should be read bearing in mind that we have a 3rd party account of one side of an emotionally fraught story..... * With the above borne in mind and just commenting on the 'evidence' to date.... I am surprised at some of the responses on here. Fair is fair. This relationship...

Saw this just now and was reminded of this thread - Photo is from a well known Limerick Estate Agents..... If you fancy living in a cave or crypt like a full time Vampire then here's your new gaff. Obviously this person was seriously keen to avoid any viewings or potential buyers. - Could...

You do hear of parents dutifully stashing the entirety of their child benefit under some notional mattress as its "the kids money" while Mammy and Daddy then go off and have to borrow money via multiple credit avenues for the next 18 years. I wonder how many hundreds of millions are laid away...

.....Just a thought and I've no claim on any expertise here.... But if you fit tyres designed for our small handful of snowy/icy days each winter are you not leaving yourself at a distinct disadvantage through all of the vast majority of remaining days with our predominantly wet driving...

No, I did however pay a flat fee to a firm which was doing this work at a fraction of very, very substantial cost that has been traditionally charged for this. At the time this practice was relatively new, I know for a fact it upset the cozy ranks of the Solicitors in the area and I presume the...

Nada. They're a parasitic presence in the property market sphere along with the Solicitors and professional Basil Fawlty-esque "wall-tappers" that posture and fawn as they do the valuation and BER assessment....... I once had a fella in to value the house..... He asked me twice had any houses...

I sold my house on Daft.ie in 5 days in 2010, when the property market was less than effervescent. I took 12 really nice photos and showed the house to a number of interested parties and showcased it appropriately by highlighting improvements made etc. The 3rd viewer bought it and all went well...

OP with all due respect, the nature of questions being asked would prompt me to urge caution here. You need to be sure you don't electrocute yourself or create a future fire hazard in your home which could kill you and yours. This is a minor job for an electrician and thus should not be expensive.

Drakon thanks for being a good citizen and having the backbone to keep our roads that bit safer, much respect. - Just a thought. The Gardai should take the witnesses name, address and DOB in these cases and then once satisfied with the veracity of the individuals details allow them to testify...
