to ask neighbour to stop for 30 mins

[user1489094655]

Next door but one has been jiggapigging all day.
I am pissed off with the noise especially as ds is autistic so he is indoors. The noise is horrendous especially as it's bank holiday and the weather is lovely.
I realise there is nothing i can do about this but is it OK to ask him to stop for half an hour at 3.30 PM as we have people viewing our house and we are desperate to sell.

WWYD?

What could he be doing for so long?

See! Lovely man.

Jiggapigging has made me laugh so much, nice to see a reasonable sensible neighbour being neighbourly!

Woah!!! Hang on there OP! You've made a reasonable request and met a polite and friendly neighbour who agreed? This sort of outcome has no place on MN!
Does nobody storm off furiously nowadays?

I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed that a neighbour thread has been resolved on page two.

Could you not have made something up for our entertainment?

Just looked this up and it appears noisy work is not allowed in a residential area on Sundays and Bank Holidays. So you can tell him to outright stop!

The jiggapigging (lol) stopped at 3.20pm. The potential buyers have just left. Everything has gone swimmingly. Let's just hope we get an offer.

I love a happy ending...

Good luck with the potential buyer OP!

I can't believe I've just read a thread in which the neighbour didn't turn out to be a CF! I was beginning to think there was an epidemic.
We should open some wine!
