Sisters wanting sites

You should build a bridge for you're own kids sake. It's a bit of grass as you say.

My wife wouldn't see it that way.

But you know the guy being left it all told us when the parents are gone he'll give us a site. Its a bit late now and i wont live to see it but i've often thought that if i did i'd take 1 and sign it over to the travellers for their horses.

The in laws would love that but i'm not that petty.

Yeah sorted in a will that can't be disputed by word of mouth between squabbling siblings.

Wills are contestable, especially by children. There can always be a dispute.

And anyways, they'll want the sites before their parents are deceased.

I don't understand what you mean. No, I don't forget saying that. Services, transport etc are all in the town. If limiting one off housing is the aim and centralising services, it makes sense.



If that's not the aim, what's the issue with giving the other children a piece of grass?

Can you point to a few recent areas/address/houses, that best highlights the issues you have with one off housing?

this topic is talked about as a nationwide issue so you really have the whole country to choose from.
Just spit out a few examples that really piss you off, and don't just stop at very recent builds go back 10 years if you will.

pleas advice

.

open google maps, zoom out so you can see the whole of ireland, zoom in at random, chances are you'll hit a one-off house

eg.
https://www.google.com/maps/@53.486223,-7.068721,3a,15y,66.4h,87.87t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1stQdA1gdQyL2iaOmsEicMMw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

(edit, just random observation, if you zoom out that 'river' a few hundred meters to the south west is actually the Royal Canal, and if you follow it a couple of miles east, you can see where it crosses the Boyne)

"expect a job"?

Yes, that would be utterly wrong.

I'd be embarrassed if I couldn't make my own way in the world as a fully grown adult and was still expecting my parents to do it all for me.

Availing of opportunity when it presents isn't wrong.
God, you seem very concerned about how you're viewed! who would be causing you this embarrassment.

I know

I'm asking for houses built over the last 10 years that highlight the issues/concerns that people have with one offs

Jayus the weather is holding up mighty. At this rate it should go a long way to softening the feed shortages over the winter. I have all weaned and on f few pound of meal and they’re happy as Larry. Cows will condition nicely too now that they’re dried off.

Reckon it’ll be mid November at the earliest before stock will see sheds at this rate. Please God anyways.

Have a bit slurry to get out before the deadline. Does anyone know What’s the deadline on the FYM by the way?

Will take soil samples in the next few weeks too and peg out a bit of lime too if needed.

Not much of a rise in the factories though
.......

Hoping to AI myself during the week. Have the weanlings booked in to sell, but it's a draw on the first 40 pens. If I get a late pen, I might put it off till next week. Also got a letter today from ICBF about WHPR. Might sign up but not sure how it all ties in with the new weighing and genomics scheme.
Mighty weather is right.

The topic seems to be making some posters uncomfortable 🀔

Turbohymac

Ya some posters uncomfortable about topic .but either the parents should ideally look after the 3 sisters and ensure they either get sites or financial help to buy elsewhere..but either way that tight hole son won't be happy and as a previous poster mentioned well all only get 6foot ×2 at the end.. maybe the op could give her honest opinion does she agree with hubby or would see like to see her sister's in law get a very small plot of the family farm????

Maybe your ideas are just irritating them . It’s the same as bring back tenements to stop urban sprawl

Anyone get their silage tested yet? Be interesting to see the results after the dry year

You must be selling sites?

Yes I would give them a site if they wanted otherwise I would give them the deposit for their house. This is what my parents have done. Btw I have 2 older sisters and 2 younger brothers. I would be last to get the farm if traditional succession rules were followed. Hopefully I can do the same for my kids but if youngest lad fulfils his dream to be Liverpool goalie he'll look after me instead

What would you recommend? I'm a bit on the small side so low skeletal values. But I do score high on musclarity.

It does effect the value of the land and the use it can be put to.



I know I would avoid renting land with a house sitting on it. You have to constant risk of lawn cuttings being thrown over the wall and being left to cattle and sheep with the risk of neospora and listeriosis from the cuttings. Then you have the risk of dogs not being secured and chasing cattle and sheep with the losses and stresses to both farmer and animal and the risks of animals breaking out onto a road with the danger to traffic of collision. And that's only the dangers while family members are living there, it gets much worse with strangers there.


Then you are restricted from spreading slurry or dung in the field from a nuisance perspective, even though that land may be the area most in need of those fertilisers. No keeping bulls in the fields either in case a child goes in after a football one day. Then you have complaints from cutting silage or harvesting cereals when those days might be the only days where this is possible.


And they're only the few I've had experience from in the last few years, plenty more can give many, many more of their experiences of similar.

Yes. It's called living in a society. We would all like to conduct our lives and business without reference to others but that's not how things are.

Them sister are gona ruin that mans inheritance, sure what use will there be farming 197 acres, wouldn't be worth it :P

TheBoyConor

Sure the ops husband's only wealth in this world is the green grass, that green green 3 acres of grass, and now them sisters want to take it away from him. And by God he can't let them do that.

If the sisters think he'is going to face his mother in heaven, or in hell, without that full 200 acres, then they've got anther thing coming. No collar, law or weapon will protect the sister that gets on his way!
