Mowing lawn at 7 am !

Yes, it’s too early IMO

Not illegal but I’d also be cursing his name!

So rude and inconsiderate.

My kids are not even awake on a school day at 7am!

Avoid lunchtime? When is that exactly?

I have excellent black out curtains and an eye mask.

I don’t want to be up when the sun comes up, I like a lie in!

On a school/work day my alarm is set for 7am the days I physically go into work and DS is at breakfast club and 7.45 on the days I WFH.

Good for you and your husband. The birds in my garden are most active for feeding purposes in the morning and early evening.

I live inScotland sunrise is 4.30 and sunset is 21.50. If someone was mowing a lawn at 4.30am there would be hell to pay!

Whatever happened to consideration for your neighbours? My husband would never make noise before 10am, that includes rolling out bins 😳

Would not bother me at all. I would just be thankful that he's keeping his garden presentable.
Unlike the neighbours I have who are causing rats by letting there garden grow like a jungle.

Monday IMO its okay - night workers are still coming home, and day workers are just getting up anyway. I think if its a Sunday then you have a point.

The thing I have noticed over the 60 odd years I've been feeding birds in various gardens in very varied locations is that particular gangs of birds arrive at various times over the course of the day. So, for example, the goldfinches and the long tailed tits have an afternoon slot, the bullfinches start in the early morning but disappear for the afternoon and come back around teatime for the rest of the day. Birds that don't use the feeders but pick up on the ground are here all day. I stand by my comment also that birds are not generally scared off by noise. My husband has coincidentally just finished mowing and none of the birds budged.

7.30 onwards seems fine, it's a bit early. (Also, early risers are not better people, they just have different internal body clocks!! Sleeping later does not make someone lazy!)

I’m wfh and start at 9 so get up and 8.15 to shower etc!

We all have good black out blinds. I don’t fancy getting woken up at 5am all summer, especially when I often don’t get to bed until 1-2 am because of my child with ASD.
My other children have hobbies that don’t finish until 8pm most evenings too, so once they’ve showered and got to bed it’s usually 9pm. If they were getting up at sunrise they’d be chronically overtired. They wake at around 7.45am, summer and winter.

it's kind of not noticeably poor form without being so bad as to be utterly disgraceful.

i'd say that roughly 8am - 10pm is the time to [within normal bounds] make as much noise as you like.

10pm - 8am is a time to be not silent but really considerate.

7am-8am & 10pm - 11pm are kinda buffer zones, a time to be a little quieter if you can.

all of these are of course both subjective and approximate.

a) how do you know he can mow at anytime?
b) he carried on for 10 minutes then came inside so he obviously didn’t tell op to shove it

My 4 year old ASD kid is still asleep with my exceptional black out blinds I have here because he was running the floors til about 2am! If my neighbour cut the grass at 7am when I don’t get to sleep some mornings til 3-6am with my kid I’d be out the window with a pellet gun whacking the fuker on the ass 🤣

I was woken at 5.50am by my neighbour leaving for work and again at 6.45am by the bin men. Neither of those can be helped and as the noise was for a very short duration I was able to drift back to sleep.
I would be quite irritated with someone choosing to mow their lawn for a long period at 7.00am. The council guidelines for noisy building work is 8.00am in this area, and I think that’s generally a hood rule of thumb for any significant noise.

It’s too early for the grass, it’s still dewey at 7am, chew it right up, it’ll be a right mess that will.
Neighbours?

Of course he is
Just because he can make noise at 7am it doesn't mean he should
I assume he doesn't like your neighbours?

What a weird take? Some asshole thinks he’s the right to waken everyone up at 7am with his lawnmower regardless if they’ve being up half the night with babies, doing night shifts, home very late from work the night before, don’t usually start their day til 9am and many other reasons, and you think yep they’re having marital problems because she’s disagreeing with her idiot husband 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 Absolutely batshit you are lol

I had a neighbour doing her garden at 7.30am yesterday morning 🙄 its alright but the weekend before that a house up the road was having new windows and doors all weekend and that noise started from 7am! luckily I dont work so had a lay in today but I know other neighbours weren't impressed!

Having been quoted multiple times- 7am is too early to be that noisy, however I’m surprised people are actually asleep at 7am on a weekday in the summer.

In winter, absolutely understand people can be asleep at 7am and still make it to work on time.

Summer though, I assumed people would have been woken by the light, unless they have exceptional blackout curtains!

I must be a light sleeper- the noise of other people going about their day, getting in their cars, making phone calls wakes me well before 7am no matter how much I wish I was still asleep. DS does manage to roll out of bed at 8am and make it to work for 8.30am, but I’m pretty sure he’s already awake before that.

I’d love to know the statistics on the percentage of people in working household or with school aged DC, so therefore with people moving about fairly early.
It’s most people under 55 I’d have thought, which would still be most people at the moment.

The shift workers who live next door to me might think so. 8am is reasonable.

7am isn’t that early but
HIBU because there’s probably dew on the grass.
It’s better to wait till it’s dried out,
