New neighbours

[Clappingforjoy]

Aibu to think that 7am is too early to start banging and knocking they are just moving in.
So should I give benefit of the doubt or say something

It depends what it is they’re doing and how long they’ve been doing it. 7 is quite early for me but there’ll be people who come on here and tell you they’ve got half a day’s work done by then. If they’re building flatpack furniture etc so they can get moved in and tidied up then that’s fair enough. If they’re working it’s reasonable that they want to crack on and use the early mornings to make their home inhabitable. They might need to be sorting boxes or building furniture or whatever at that time so that they have a desk to work at come 9/10 am. I would let it go for now, it’s unlikely to be a long term problem.

Do you mean they are moving in? If they are I would just leave it it’s one or 2 days of noise and that’s it. 7am is fine to start moving boxes and stuff.

Yeah go and have a pop at them, great way to start the relationship

Just let it go. I'd never begrudge my new neighbours trying to get things sorted when they've just moved in. All you will achieve is souring your relationship.

If they are just moving in definitely give them the benefit of the doubt!! There could be many reasons they are up and sorting things out early. If it continues long term then you could gently say something.

Do you mean that they are actually physically moving in today?

If so you are definitely BU

I doubt they are doing it at that time for fun.
Personally I'd leave it. If they have just moved in they are probably still unpacking boxes and building flat pack.

Awaits next episode of Neighbours from Hell.

Give them a chance.

you'd think it was the ones who are inconsiderate who start in the worst possible ways, not the people who can brace themselves for CF who have no regard for their neighbours.

When you say moving in do you actually mean unloading furniture and unpacking boxes? 7am is time to be up in my book away but maybe a bit early for drilling or hammering.

New house. They want to get done ASAP I should think. Don’t think they are doing it to annoy you.

if you want to start drilling at 7am, you buy a detached house.

Unpacking boxes is one thing, banging and knocking another entirely.

It's bad and unacceptable anyway, but as we currently are in lockdown and most people don't work 7 days a week for months on end, there's plenty of available time to start noisy diy at a reasonable, considerate and polite hour.

Last time I had builders they started about 7.45 each am, I asked for later and I hey said it was their normal work pattern because they liked to finish by 3.30.
