I live in a semi-detached and late last year a couple, in their mid-20s I would say, bought the house next door. They seemed nice but did a lot of work on the house which went on for some time. They also got a puppy as the woman seemed to spend a lot of time at home so it had company.
Just before lockdown, the man started tearing up the garden and had 4 or 5 mates round to chip in. They kept coming during lockdown which annoyed me but there we go. Anyway, at some point during early lockdown they broke up and she moved out. Since then the noise has been awful and getting worse. His mate moved in for well over a month and they would have rowdy nights in. Since lockdown has eased in last few months (not that it matters to him) he is having people over almost every weekend shouting and bawling, slamming the door so hard the whole house shakes. This has been known to go on till 5am. I have bought ear plugs but can't use them when my DS is here. Thankfully, he is a heavy sleeper.
Then the dog gets going, barking for up to an hour at a time. Even when they are in! Its like they cannot hear it! It barks often throughout the day for a long time as it is left on its own whilst he is at work.
I have mentioned the noise a few times and he says he didn't realise. He is oblivious to everything in life. Last week he was having a fit in the middle of the street thinking someone had stolen his van before he realised it was at a friends, a few weeks before that he bashed his front door glass in as he thought his mates had locked him out then they pulled up in a taxi behind him.
I dread the weekends, especially if my DS is here but I don't know how I feel about mentioning it again, I feel like a nag and it will cause an issue. I'm not sure what he can do about the dog barking in the day anyway. If I make a noise complaint, he will know it was me as, as I say, it is a semi-detached.
I'm at a bit of a loss. Ultimately I know I will have to speak to him, does anyone have any advice on what to say please?
