I haven't looked here in a while and was slightly annoyed that this great thread was beginning to turn into a "one sided" argument towards getting rid of the playground and nothing else... but thankfully that seems to have stopped now. Personally I don't think it is an eyesore and it actually blends in well, I don't have kids and there are no plans in the immediate future, but I like the idea of having it available. Also just from the 2 or 3 people that don't like it on this forum doesn't mean that the majority of the residence dont like it. And until we have proof of the actual extra insurance costs, if any, then I don't think we need to discuss it any futher. Anway all this can be discused at the first Meeting whenever that happens. Should be good craic though.
As for noise, personally I haven't heard much TBH, I have a 1 bed corner unit and was quite surprised how quiet it was. I've lived in a detached house all my life I was worried about living in an apt for this reason. I've been in a few semi-detached houses and was quote shocked at the amount of noise from next door, like people walking upstairs, tvs, talking... etc. But thankfull its not like that here in Lymewood, well for me anyway, I'm sorry Lucky you don't seem to be that lucky, excuse the pun, I would definitly get that checked out. The only thing I heard was the people above having a party, but that was because they were out on the balcony and I had the bedroom window open, but it didn't bother me much.
As for noise above on wooden floors, not a problem for me either. My mate owns the apt above me and is renting it. He put down lamenates and I never hear them walking around, nor do I hear people going to the toilet or shaggin
but seriously you can't do anything about that kind of noise, how can you ask someone to piss quietly LOL I would literally piss my self laughing... excuse the pun again . But like previous posters have said, if someone is really noisy above me I would firstly go up and explain the situation and ask nicely to try to reduce it. If it was me I would hate to get the first notice of this from a solictors letter or mangement compay, that would make me less co-operative.
Also my GF hates the walk in the mornings and evenings too... and most mornings I end up dropping her up to the end of the park and then going back to bed as I don't get up for another 2 hours later... pain in the ass. I read somewhere that there was supposed to be a shuttle bus. maybe on northwoodpark.ie does anyone know about this?
Anyway many thanks Muffin and Pam for starting it up in the begining.
Cheers!!!
