So we're currently decorating our bedroom and as we both work full time we only get time at night or weekends. We have neighbours above us who are away on holiday for a week but have a house guest dogsitting. Our neighbours have never complained about noise ever - they've lived there 2 years, we're 23 years in our house.
Last night my DH was putting up the last of the coving so tapping nails in to hold the coving and scraping excess adhesive etc. This all went on between 6pm - 8pm.
A knock at my door at 7.40pm from the upstairs house guest who said 'Are you doing something in that room' pointing at my bedroom window. I said 'Yes we're decorating'. She then complained that it was like banging on the ceiling and she was in her bed as had to get up at 7am (she's sleeping in the room above the room we're decorating). She wanted to know how long it would go on for, I said a few weeks but that DH was almost finished for the night.
I was quite dry with her as I think she's being completely unreasonable. I'm also annoyed that I didn't realise what time it was when I answered the door as i'd have been more vocal about it. I mean who goes to bed at 7.30pm and expects complete silence at that time?!
She's being massively unreasonable right?
