Mowing lawn at 7 am !

[Sunnyday321]

Tell me my dh is being unreasonable ?
We have a noisy petrol mower at he is outside mowing the lawn !
I've been out ( in my nightie ! ) and told him it's too early , and he has told me it's not .
Surely it's way too early ?

I believe you can make noise between 7am and 11pm.

Yes it’s too early unless you live on your own island or you neighbours all have toddlers and will have been up since 5 anyway.

It's not illegal but I would want to kill him

Nothing wrong with 7am cutting grass.

He’s being very inconsiderate of any neighbours presuming you have some. Why can’t he do it in the evening?

We are up every day 6am. 7am isn't a big deal.

Of course it's too early, just really inconsiderate.

Bit earlier, but it would be worse at 7am on a weekend or bank holiday. The bin men woke the world up at 5.45 this morning

If I was your neighbour I'd be watering my garden and accidentally your DH and the effing mower!

It would only be too early on a Sunday, IMO.

Pretty sure that 8 am is where noisy works can start
but also if the grass has dew / wet then it can clog the mower
Think 7 am is too early - it’s not a nice noise and am sure your neighbours aren’t thrilled

It's a big deal to people not up at 6 trying to sleep obviously 🙄

It's very inconsiderate. I wouldn't do it till 9 myself although I think 8 is ok I'd personally rather do it later

Legally it’s okay but morally it’s crap (unless you have no neighbours nearby). Isn’t the grass too wet at this time of the morning too?

It wouldn't bother us. We're all up for school and work before 6am.

Bin lorries are around emptying bins on weekdays from 6.30am! They are incredibly noisy!

How can people be asleep at 7am on a weekday? Surely most people have work or school?

You Can’t really work around shifts as they are so variable.

Isn’t the grass still damp/dewy?

I’m awake every day at 6am but that’s irrelevant. Our local London council prohibits noise from machinery (eg lawnmowers) before 8am. There are laws about this and your DH can expect a letter from the council if a neighbour complains.

YANBU

I’d be absolutely raging tbh. What a selfish arse.

Far too early. I always use 9-5 as my judgement of whether it's sensible to do noisy/potentially antisocial tasks.

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should

Idiot. The grass is too wet too.

7am really isn't that early, it wouldn't bother me. I'd expect most of the neighbours where I am to be awake already as they mostly go to work/do the school run. You'll always disturb someone, as long as it isn't 5am or 11pm I think it's probably just about okay.

Inconsiderate
