But if you find out otherwise let me know. And, thats interesting about the windows, if you are looking into getting it done let me know as I might also. But I expect it would be ok till next year.

minkey wrote: » Re the guest parking Can someone explain this to me? My understanding is that all unallocated parking is the text2park. This is supposed to be for 2 hours only at a time, so I dont see how a commuter could park there all day. Is there other guest parking that I dont know about? I thought some people when they bought houses had the option to purchase an extra space for an additional fee, if that is the case how are their spaces allocated. For myself if I have guests over its very awkwkard as I don't know what to tell them. Its not very clear to me. I tend to use the spots near the kiosk on bridge avenue, but I don't know if these spots are assigned to houses or not? Thanks

From an rcp point of view what will be great is the connectivity down to the Navan Road. It brings a lot of extra bus routes into play and alot of amenities become far more walkable. Can't say I see parking as a problem. Why would you park at rcp vs the other stations? Especially when broombridge will have a luas. The cost is something like 2.3m.

There are lots of other solutions, of course with their own drawbacks, but at least they are to the benefit of residents. i.e. token system, each house has a token to give to guests to display when parked in guest parking. inspectors ensuring cars are not parked more than 24 hours. works pretty well in a few south side apartment blocks I've visited.

fret_wimp2 wrote: » Like i said, all systems have thier flaws, but asking guests to pay for parking when visiting residents is a pretty big one. If guest parking was for resident use only, and not commuters using the train and eventually the luas, it would be a much better. Who monitors if non authorized cars are parked in numbered residents spaces? Couldnt they do this? Residents report cars parking without tokens to these guys. I agree It needs a bit of thought but the time needed to weigh up a better solution should not be the reason we resort to the standard pay for parking model.

fret_wimp2 wrote: » Got a response from management company regarding the windows: All obligations and planning restrictions are contained in your lease document and the regular service/maintenance details should be outlined in your home owners manual. To clarify your question in relation to the painting of the windows I have copied Jason in Ballymore on this mail as he is best placed to confirm if this is necessary and will be able to tell you the RAL numbers. If painting is recommended or required then it will fall to the each owner to organise individually or co-ordinate with a few neighbours, I would strongly recommend that you make sure that whatever contractor you use has the relevant insurances in place. In general terms there are planning restrictions in relation to changing colours of finishes and making alterations, the specific details are outlined in your lease agreement. Maybe we could sync up in April or May to see if a group of us can find a painter, rather than doing it individually?

We are thinking of putting wooden floors downstairs and carpet everywhere else. We aren't sure what tone of wood will go well with the kitchen. If anyone could share photos of what they did that'd be really helpful. Thanks!
