CFN patio doors onto my private garden thread #3

Wattyyyy · 28/07/2017 12:22

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!

It does sound like they arranged to be away while the work was being done.

insancerre · 28/07/2017 12:56

Have they come back yet?

RainyDayBear · 28/07/2017 12:57

I agree that speaking to the solicitor you used when buying the house and getting them to write a formal letter to CFN would be a good idea.

You could also ask your solicitor for advice about whether you could bill them for damage to your garden / access / inconvenience if you were so inclined (I would be!).

I just want to see the flats. Is it one of those old tenement style buildings that had the courtyard in the middle? I live for that shit.

When they come home can you sit on a deck chair in the garden and give them that mothers "I'm not angry, I'm disappointed" face?

Veronicat · 28/07/2017 12:57

I have five tabs open on thread's right now. That's my day off sorted. Grin

Why hasn't this epic story made the Daily Mail yet!!!!

Roundandroundtheapartment · 28/07/2017 12:58

Can't bookmark and I always forget about threads I'm watching. Sorry -not really-

DooRight · 28/07/2017 12:58

I may have place marked on the previous 2 threads, but I wouldn't do that again...

Tatlerer · 28/07/2017 12:58

Wattyyyy · 28/07/2017 13:01

daddad oh god imagine if it is the case?

I really hope so for my own sake but even then, how can you be that bloody thick! Not just CFN but the builders too.

I just heard a drilling noise and jumped out my skin thinking it was them. It's the other side Sad goodness knows what he's doing now. Don't worry he's already got perfectly legal (I think) doors!!!

I hope they have deep pockets! You should string some crime scene tape across the pile of rubble Grin

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 28/07/2017 13:02

A shit storm is about to erupt, between the builders and the offenders, whether they are family, or not !
Can't wait for their return.
At least you'll get your lovely private garden back.😀

soupforbrains · 28/07/2017 13:04

this is all so awesome. It's so nice to see when someone in the right get's things coming up right for them isn't it!

I'm so glad the planning team are so clearly convinced and have been helpful and nice to you.

Do keep us all up to date with progress. Very glad I have no CFNs of my own! Their brazen disregard/idiocy is astounding.

wheelsortyres · 28/07/2017 13:04

I wish some of you fuckers would read threads properly.

Mix56 · 28/07/2017 13:04

I wouldn't go anywhere near them, the planners will put a stop to it. they don't need to know it's you that caused the monstrous massive costly reparation problem planners to get involved.
It could be anyone in the building/complex, heard the noise, looked out the window...

FMLpassthegin · 28/07/2017 13:05

Maybe you should leave them a box set of Porridge or Prisoner Cell Block H for them and a handy manual called "101 things to do indoors when you don't have a garden".

MadamePomfrey · 28/07/2017 13:05

I really hoping neighbours on the other side are mnetters and installing the much requested webcam for the live feed 🤞🏻🙏🏻🤞🏻🙏🏻🤞🏻🙏🏻📹
