    Damp walls -recommend someone in dublin 6/8/12

    Afraid I can't give any certification details but it is a breathable material. It is far from an ideal solution but I'm fairly confident there is no dampness as the paper would be wet. I also had occasion to remove a section and there was no sign of mould. [broken link removed]

    Neighbour threw pile of leaves from my tree into my garden Can I legally return them?

    Why don't you talk to the neighbour and ask him if he wouldn't mind bagging them next time and then you can place them in your compost bin. A win win situation. Seek solutions and not confrontation. Not the legal advice you wanted just some life wisdom.

    Household charge website seems to be working better now, but it's not perfect yet

    Have to agree about the captcha. It's is very difficult to read and took me a few attempts.

    Thanks for your help folks. I think I'll get the electrician to check all connections when installing the new one and I think I'll go digital and spend a few bob more on getting a better timer. Any recommendations for a new timer would be welcome. Coldcakes

    returned goods - refund less %

    You wouldn't buy a car and then drive it and return it because you didn't like it. I think you should be happy they took it back at all even with the discount.

The smell does fade away. I have one more bookcase to assemble and I think I will do so and leave in the garage...

    How high was the wall? Did he have to climb over it or just step over it. If it was just a low wall I wouldn't see what the problem is. However, if it was 5ft then I would be shocked
