We have found ourselves a impartial surveyor. He told us to fill in the dissent form, adding his details, and send it back to the neighbours. As we couldn't find where to write it we asked if he could read through all the stuff and tell us where to fill in, so not to cock it up!! It only turns...

Do you use more petrol driving into the wind?

Sitting here trying to take my mind off things, listening to the wind howling...then a question came to me....What to do on a windy day? Fly a kite, bit obvious....As its DIY site, I thought fence panel gliding...off the raised patio weeeeee....... Any ideas whilst I go and take the tablets...

Just a quick question. Do we give our nieghbours the name of one party wall surveyor or a few? I really dont mind who does it as long as we know they are not in cahoots with the neighbours! (or is it best to talk to surveyor ourselves?)

Right, thanks thats my next thing to look up :)

Im glad! Maybe we should all join a group!

Yes the fence is ours. It supports our patio that is higher than the neighbours garden. At the furthest part from the house (3 panels) its about two gravel boards higher, then goes to being level nearest the house. Hence the worry of them taking them out for a long period of time. i can see the...

Ha Ha! Im afraid only freindship is on offer, I am happyily married!! :wink:

Thank you Thank you!! can you be my friend forever!? I feel you have made everything a little clearer! Just a quick reply (as two children calling!) The eccentric foundations were not in the conditions but just in the report so is this more a suggestion than a 'fact'? He actually put himself as...

[/url] Thanks. we did write a short letter saying, due to past experience with boundary disputes and the fact we never agree, we feel it necessary to have an independent surveyor. We then added a few queries. One being that the planning form said eccentric foundations and the line of junction...

Thanks! We are writting to say we dont think it will be right to appoint himself as the impartial surveyor and then asking for clarification on the other issues. So if the planning report states thing can they then do different things?? Its so stressful!! I need to be married to someone in the...

The intial plans said they were eccentric foundations which do not not have an 'overhang' so its seems they have decided to change that. Can they do that? (as this was a point the planners sorted to pass the project on) We feel they have tried to craftily put it in by saying 'nothing has changed...

Mmmm not sure that will happen but i could try then put it into ISA's before I have to give it back! lol

Yes I think we need in writing which fence posts are being removed, and when they will be reinstated. We have a toddler and the fence is behind his playhouse. The gravel boards support the patio as it about two gravel boards high. i am concern for the safety of my children using the playhouse...

Our neighbours had planning permission passed using 'eccentric foundations' for their single storey extension. now we have received a party wall agreement form which says 'protruding footings'. I have found examples of eccentric foundations but am i right in thinking protruding footings are...

Thanks for the reply We don't get on with them at all and for the 12 years we have lived here, one of the main issue that has caused break down in communication, is the boundary line. We feel they are sneaking something in too. On original plans it said eccentric foundations, this say...

just to add. i've just looked at the stuff we printed of from the town planners, when they passed the project and it say they are using 'eccentric foundations' which would 'avoid overlapping boundaries'. also says 'foundations overlapping into neighbours land would constitute encroachment which...

We have just been given, by our neighbour, a 'line of junction notice' and they have asked us to sign it and give it back to them. i'm not happy to just sign it without investigating further so came here to the trusty lot for help! We had plans sent to us in Jan. we voiced concerns for closeness...

Well, it's all painted and not too many fumes! I didn't 'do' the onion thing, I do love pickled onions but not sure I could cope with crying through the painting job! I did try vanilla extract and lemon juice and the windows wide open ( so it was freezing!) something worked as there were not...

Are there any tricks that work for removing paint fumes. We start painting the bedroom tomorrow and we have to sleep in there at night. I have read about putting onions, vanilla extract, orlemons in the room, and then there's air purifiers, dehumidifers, the list goes on! Do any of these work...
