    Reminds me of my father. He’s up super early, like 4 am, and to him 7 am is perfectly late enough to run the wood planer on a weekend day.

        Because a two-stroke engine that is more polluting than a full size SUV many times over making a lot of noise and releasing a lot of byproduct poisons into the air is vastly preferable to using a fucking rake. I think some boomers and junior boomers like the fact that they’re being noisy. grillman

        It doesn’t excuse it, but sometimes you just gotta take drastic measures to drown out the intrusive thoughts… Or maybe covering up someone being tortured in the basement?

        downvotes? I’m guessing you may have offended some folks by badmouthing their favorite toy.

    Back in CA, there was a total grillman , appearance and all, that’d roll down the street in a golf cart with a massive sound system filling the entire rear behind his seat, and he’d blast out absolute trash dadrock with huge floor-shaking subwoofers, and do it all with this empty gammon grin behind his wrap-around polarized sunglasses, going back and forth at least twice a week around the same time.

    He was still not as divorced as my-hero though.

    To be fair, doing my work around the house after worktime at 7PM weekdays is also not going to be very popular.

      When I am doing stuff at night I try to be as quiet as possible. The morning people could follow this until 11 am.

        Depending on location, it’s too freaking hot to be doing yard work anytime past 11 in the summer months. 9 - 11am is usually when I get my shit done.

        Then again, with my neighbors have a similar work schedule to me, so I guess I’m not bothering anyone.

    Depends on what time, for me

    After about 10am is pretty fair game if a noisy job needs doing IMO. If it’s music and not obnoxiously loud, that’s probably fine too

    Anyone making any noise before that though absolutely should get in the sea

      10 am is way too late where I live. It’ll be >90 by then, and that’s a great way to get hear stroke. Most people in my neighborhood are out by 730 working.

    My neighbor is showering at 6 am on a Saturday morning. Is he working on the day when I get to chill?

    No he’s an out of touch asshole, not me.

          Mine isn’t much louder than a typical SUV going 35mph down the street outside my house, if at all.

          The town I live in has a railroad track running right down the middle, and at least two trains go by everyday (technically the same one going back and forth), is often overflown by military helicopters and we often hear artillery practice from the local army base rattling our windows. Combine this with the fact that a lot of my neighbors work odd hours, there isn’t a time of day to run a lawnmower when someone isn’t trying to sleep.

    The people across the street were grinding tree stumps at 8am Sunday last week. I yelled out the window but it didn’t work. They were done and gone by 10, which is when they should have started.

    My neighbors consistently party until about five in the morning with outdoor speakers on the weekends. I’m generally up for the day before they’re done with last night, and I get to enjoy free concerts from their sound system.

    You’re God damned right I’ve zero qualms about firing up the lawn mower as soon as the sun breaks the eastern horizon.

      Have you tried being a good neighbor and letting them know their loud parties are causing you harm?

      Because otherwise you’re tacitly telling them it’s fine.

        I went over once when they were shooting off commercial grade fireworks on a Wednesday night and feel lucky to have escaped alive. The young bulls got threatening with me until the older guy came out and spoke reason. It’s just a product of where I live.

        Pro-tip: make an effort to interact with your neighbors *before* this situation so they know you as more than a stuffy Karen.

        Just tried that last week and I will never directly contact people like that again.

        All it got me was an angry neighbor who now turns their shit up louder than it was before as they drive by my house.

        I guess I’ll just resort to fucking with their vehicle in the future.

        You can’t reason with some people.

      We have neighbours a couple houses down that occasionally like to have people over in their loud echo-ey metal fence+patio back yard and chop their firepit wood every hour or so when they run out, sometimes well after midnight. I do not think they realise how far that sound carries through the night and dont have the foresight to chop during the afternoon beforehand.
