CFN patio doors onto my private garden thread #3

Okay I thought I'd start this for when they inevitably show their faces!!

Sorry all the threads have different titles Confused

I have a slight update - I managed to catch the nice neighbour at the other side (I think he'd heard the commotion and was loitering about waiting for me Grin )

He was gobsmacked! Apparently he's lived here for thirty years and has never heard anything like it. I told him I'd keep him updated and he asked if i wanted to come in for a cup of tea, I politely declined hahahah. Glad I now have a nice normal neighbour on my side!

Defo do the welcome home banner Grin

MadamePomfrey · 28/07/2017 12:36

Yup screw the live web chats a CF cam that's how HQ can bring the money in😂😂

LagunaBubbles · 28/07/2017 12:36

Can we get a webcam installed so we can actually SEE the CFN reaction when they return

What a great idea! Grin

glitterglitters · 28/07/2017 12:36

I'd pay to watch the live stream of CFN return 😂

Jg1 · 28/07/2017 12:36

Dear OP,
What are your plans for the next fortnight or so?
You do realised that we will all want, nae, need live updates about every single action??!

Well done so far; for keeping us updated and for standing up for your rights. I think I have my first girl-crush Wink

AgathaF · 28/07/2017 12:36

Hopefully they'll be back tonight, or at least after the weekend - expecting their 'lovely' new door to be installed and to be sipping Pimms in 'their' garden within the hour.

Fuckers!

Do you think it would be worth reporting the CFNs as missing persons to the police? They need to be brought home as it is 12.30 and I haven't done ANYTHING yet!

TheMaddHugger · 28/07/2017 12:37

I hope the CFN's aren't a couple of kids and this is their first home

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 28/07/2017 12:38

itsallgoingtobefine et al, read the other two threads

I have Confused I was replying to this

Do you have plans for some reed panels or similar to block their view of your garden?

The CFN already had a window there. OP can't simply block their existing window.

I'm thinking maybe developers hoping to put doors in to give the illusion of access

OP, are they definitely doors and not just full length windows?

DressedCrab · 28/07/2017 12:38

I've brought the gin.

thenightsky · 28/07/2017 12:38

Bet they won't be home til Monday Sad

AdalindSchade · 28/07/2017 12:38

I assume builders can't get back into the garden unless through the CFN flat? I'm really concerned they may try to remove the evidence.
I doubt they have told CFN. I'm imagining them turning up after their holiday just looking aghast at their desist letter and pile of rubble where they were expecting a lovely new door to a garden

lmer · 28/07/2017 12:38

I do like how we're upto thread 3 Grin

ScarletForYa · 28/07/2017 12:38

MadamePomfrey

I agree, I bet they've done it thinking it'll give the place the illusion of having a garden, in order to enhance the sale price.

I'd say they'll stay offside now.

They must be as dumb as rocks! Too many house flipping shows!

Pannnn · 28/07/2017 12:39

If no CCTV installation, then I'd like some photos at least OP. You need to earn your corn round here!!

thank you.

ClashCityRocker · 28/07/2017 12:39

Yup I reckon they've buggered off for a weekend break and let the builders get on with it....

Gonna be a shock to them if the builders haven't managed to get in touch. Their own bloody stupid fault though.

MOIST · 28/07/2017 12:39

Oh wow. Shock and more Shock

AdalindSchade · 28/07/2017 12:39

OP, are they definitely doors and not just full length windows?

It doesn't matter in terms of planning permission though I guess it makes the crime less heinous from op's point of view

altiara · 28/07/2017 12:40

So.... I can skip thread 2?

QuiteUnfitBit · 28/07/2017 12:40

Maybe, if you give us the name of the neighbours, we could Tweet for them to return home before the end of this thread... or would that be a bit outing for you

Kickedoutnowwhat · 28/07/2017 12:40

@wattyyy, you say they've recently bought the flat and that you can still find the listing.....

Well wouldn't the estate agent have a way of contacting them??? Maybe speak to them say there's an issue with their "build" and could they inform them???

Just an idea.
