My neigbour building

[ginorwine]

My neigbour has been building as a hobby an outside office at the end of our garden for a year now
He bangs daily or taps saws etc
He us very slow and exact
The building has solid foundations and is wood with what will be full insulation , velum window and French doors . It is about 8 foot high or a bit more as well as About 12 by 10 . It is within 3 feet of my garden right next to my little five foot summer house - only 5 long and high by 4 foot .
It was my quiet place but I fully understand his wish to build .
As he bangs 6 days a week we have asked for Sunday s off as it gets wearing as it's very disruptive to be in garden .
Today he is banging on the house .
Am I being unreasonable wanting one day off in a week ?

You god poor you! Ours is at it now, Easter Sunday, we have people coming for diner nod our whole house is vibrating!

My BiL told me that timber structures don't need planning permission until they've been there for 5 years.

It would really piss me off. I hate building noise, but some fucker is always having an extension built round our way, so it's pretty much a constant. As fast as one gets finished, someone else has building start on theirs.

If he's agreed to one "quiet day" a week, maybe he could be persuaded to agree to no noise later than a certain time on weekdays?

I was close to murdering someone when Virgin Media were cabling our area. They were digging up the roads till 7 pm at night, 6 days a week, and on Sunday mornings, for almost a month in the run up to Christmas. I'll never fly Virgin or get on a Virgin train again, so take that, Richard Bloody Branson!
