..... to think that anyone doing noisy DIY in their front garden at 7.30 on a Sunday is an arse?

[DesolateWaist]

Seriously.
It started at 7.30 with chucking bricks about and scraping things with a trowel and now he's started with sodding power tools.
I was awake anyway but that's not the point.
Arse.

But it's Saturday!

But yanbu

It's Saturday today?

Yes it's very early but it's Saturday not Sunday

Bollocks. That's how pissed off I am. Yes it's Saturday.

But they still doesn't make it ok.

Its Saturday today , on a Sunday anytime before 9am would be unreasonable but I would be less bothered on a Saturday.

YANBU

Twat down the road last week was using a bloody great hedge trimmer in his front garden at 8am on Sat morn. So loud even 6 or 7 doors down it disturbed DD4 (2) from a rare lie in!

God knows what his closest neighbors thought!

YANBU.

A big arse as well.

Thing is, Saturday morning is a normal work day for lots of tradesmen eg. Builders/joiners, particularly in small companies, so I don't really have an issue on a Saturday. Sunday is a totally dufferent matter!!!

This isn't a tradesperson, just the neighbour. He's retired as well so it's not even a case of this being the only day he can do it.

Any day really early bugs me! It's bad enough listening to it throughout the day.

YANBU I have taxi driver next door who works early doors every day of the week. So about 4:30am, I get house door bangs, gate rattles and bangs, car alarm beeps, radio on and car door slams, diesel engine revs. When I first moved in it disturbed me everyday. Then I sort of got used to it and it only started to wake me maybe 2-3 times per week. Did mention it to them, he not bothered. But this week told me he has new car and less noisy engine. I said good, but what about the door,gate,alarm,radio? Funnily enough he didn't comment. I need my sleep! I know he needs to work but a little consideration would go a long way. Just saying

It wouldn't bother me, I am never asleep that late. But I wouldn't do it myself, but like I wouldn't let my children go outside to play at that time. So I guess yanbu.

9 am Saturday
10 am Sunday

That would be my rule of thumb.

When our ndns had their extension built we were told the workmen arent allowed to start noisy work before 8 on a weekday and I think it's later on a Saturday. 730 not acceptable.

Well he started a 8 today.
Already awake but I still think it is a dick move.

Maybe he's trying to get back at neighbours near him who let their kids out on trampolines early doors just like mine....
