to think my neighbours shouldn't be logging at 6:45am?

Honestly..usually it doens't start til 07:30am. which is just about live with-able.

But this morning it started at 06:45am. I'm 37 weeks pregnant, have a 14mth old DS who been ill with a cold all week, have SPD and am completely knackered.

It wakes me up every morning. I hear the husband get up at 06:10 and bang around before leaving for work, then the wife and kids at about 7am, Which is fine, normal household noise.

but logging?!!

I rang up and said to her that it was ridiculous and i didn't usually mind when it wakes me up every day but his morning was way too early. she says ok, fine.

Then 10 minutes later the husband rings back adn leaves an answer machine message about how their day starts at 7am and how there's nothing they can do about that. they have kids and places to get to.

Fine- i'm not complaining about normal getting up noise. i'm complaining about LOGGING!! SPLITTING WOOD at 06:45am!!

AIBU?!

What am i gonna do in 3-5weeks when i haev a newborn who is woken up by them?!

It's really upset me, we usually get on well with them. i'm so tired and fed up at the mo I haven't got the energy to fight or retaliate. i'm jst so knackered.

As someone who had no heating the past week and went through about a forest of logs trying to keep dc's warm I was about to say YABU.

However if they're running a business and have an alternative method of heating surely it wouldn't hurt them to start a tad later. Most families who work or have school age dc's are up and about by about 7.30 so would have thought this a bit more reasonable.

Would bear in mind what others are saying about the baby waking them in the middle of the night though. Okay, its not the same as logging but regardless of what noise it is that wakes you it still leaves you tired the next morning and they will be more understanding if you are on good terms (and no I would never complain about the baby next door - she is a darling!)

It is entirely different to logging..you can't control a baby crying but you can choose not to chop wood at 6.45 am surely?

I'm very confused about this logging thing. Can you just set up a business and start chopping the trees down in your garden then??? Aren't them some rules about chopping trees down and stuff?

I agree with HSMM, tell them you just want to check the planning permission (which they are bound to have, I bet ) about their hours of operation.
