    Rent-a-room lodger problems

    you don't need to change the lock in its entirety, you could just change the barrel - work out a lot cheaper. A complete new yale lock is only €30 in woodies and there is hardly any trouble with them, a couple of screws and job done. Keep the door lock that you have and swop back when the next...

    Late 30s, 10 years left on mortgage with a clawback. Advice please on moving or staying

    I am a little confused with regard to the clawback. I have a similar stipulation on my own property as the land was purchased from local Council. I remortgaged after 18 months to get better terms etc. Are you sure that the clawback comes into play if you change providers? I thought that the...

    Double Glazing Problems

    Mr Wednesday worked for a window company for many years and I have seen his work, in fairness it is VERY similar to your photos. The problem with an older house renovation is that the walls very rarely run true and can cause issues. The foam had to be left to fully set otherwise you could have...

    Large Sliding Doors for Rear Extension

    Sounds like bi-fold doors might be the way to go. A few companies make them (not posting any links because I'm not endorsing anyone :)) They are expensive, but look gorge.

    child cyclist versus car - liability?

    thanks for that DB74 ;) although it doesn't address the liability issue. Rebuttal, this was my thoughts too. She had concussion, lost a baby tooth and another tooth cut right through her cheek. My friend took her to caredoc on Saturday evening and took her to the dentist this morning and she's...

    child cyclist versus car - liability?

    My god-daughter is aged 7. She lives in a horseshoe cul-de-sac. She was cycling (albeit illegally) on the footpath. A car turned into the cul-de-sac and then turned into its drive. My god-daughter didn't have time to stop and struck the vehicle, (I'm uncertain at the moment whether it was the...

    UB refuse to give my tracker back...help!

    My advice would be to use the ombudsman as a final resort. I fought the system without the ombudsman as stated here...push push and push some more, if you feel you're correct. I'd start off by getting them to send you a copy of the 'tracker removal letter' and take it from there.
