Tell me my dh is being unreasonable ?
We have a noisy petrol mower at he is outside mowing the lawn !
I've been out ( in my nightie ! ) and told him it's too early , and he has told me it's not .
Surely it's way too early ?

Pretty sure that 8 am is where noisy works can start
but also if the grass has dew / wet then it can clog the mower
Think 7 am is too early - it’s not a nice noise and am sure your neighbours aren’t thrilled

It would only be too early on a Sunday, IMO.

If I was your neighbour I'd be watering my garden and accidentally your DH and the effing mower!

Bit earlier, but it would be worse at 7am on a weekend or bank holiday. The bin men woke the world up at 5.45 this morning

Of course it's too early, just really inconsiderate.

We are up every day 6am. 7am isn't a big deal.

He’s being very inconsiderate of any neighbours presuming you have some. Why can’t he do it in the evening?

Nothing wrong with 7am cutting grass.

It's not illegal but I would want to kill him

Yes it’s too early unless you live on your own island or you neighbours all have toddlers and will have been up since 5 anyway.

I believe you can make noise between 7am and 11pm.
