Entitled but gullible neighbour strikes again.

[cssurvivor]

I asked for advice about a problem neighbour a few months ago about her entitled demands over the last 2 days in a tiny garden I have been treated to chainsaw for hours on end. I assumed they were still cutting plants and trees, which obviously require a power tool but I finally lost it when having mown the tiny lawn with a petrol strimmer they then used a leaf blower to send clouds of dust and fumes into my and the garden next door. It is normal for so called professional gardeners to be so inconsiderate. I raised it will her but maintained that is the way these do it. I doubt it very much

Let it go.

I couldn’t get worked up about this. Presumably they don’t do it every day.

How big is her garden

She's presumably finished after that Herculean effort.

I'd let it go now.

Read your previous thread, she likes complaining doesn't she? Sounded a bit bat shit with the trees though. As we all know you move into a house with no trees next door. Then, suddenly over night several trees have appeared one of which is mature.
You are more tolerant than me on many levels.

about 60 ft, It definitely wouldn't take 2 men to do 2 days t trim the few trees and weeds. I am not sure why you would strim weeds with a petrol strimmer BTW, as they will grow back I am not sure whether she expects a Lawn to grow back.

Woman has gardeners gardening noisily over bank holiday. Sounds wildly normal @cssurvivor?

Not today I am afraid I lost it shortly late on the second day after a man strimmed a weeded area that used to be a lawn with a petrol strimmer very loudly and very slowly with followed by using a leaf blower on a dusty bare earth area with a few slashed weed leaves. The clouds of detritus and dust falling in to my and the garden next door. My house stinks of petrol and now the garden has a think layer of extra dirt from her garden. She insists that she employs professionals, but it was clear they were cowboys, I could not see a named van either, they are probably the ones who told her That I am causing damp in her cellar

well yes but I thought that as well, I have no doubt that she will continue to employ cowboys to do various jobs that make it unpleasant for me. Though the roofers she employed were courteous and did a proper job only making a noise when the job required it. I think my problem is that I have multiple Chronic conditions that mean I am more susceptible to stress, that can end up in being blue lighted to hospital. Plus bad asthma that means petrol fumes and dust really affects me.

If you stop fussing about it then you won’t get stressed, will you?

wow well worth posting

I can't be arsed looking up the old thread, but I recognise anxiety when I see it. The house I live in makes horrific noises, even when nobody is doing anything. We have been having a rough time of it for four years and are at our wits' end. Your neighbour must have antagonised you, that increases your stress level, you are ill partially because of works, that also increases your stress level. To avoid this all ending in an explosive manner - and I assume you own, so can't just up sticks and leave - I highly recommend you get some noise filtering earplugs.

I can't remember the brand I got the fiancé, he said you can hear things but "unexpected" noises are a lot less jarring.

If you pop me a PM I will have a look through our Amazon history and tell you which ones they are, as he seemed quite positive about them.

For the sake of your mental health, which affects physical health in the end too - please, look after yourself.

I should probably listen to my own advice and pinch him off them for a bit. I can't even stand the sound of the telly in our own house if I am not sat in front of it watching it at the moment.

Thanks to be honest , I was just venting and really in a terraced house I am not particularly fussed about noise. The neighbour the other side often has the radio on in the garden sometimes at 6 am and even if its not my particular taste in music, it is not unpleasant. Chainsaws/ strimmers and leafblowers. for 2 days however, are a different beast.

Her excuse was it won't happen again, but really I would only employ workmen who are considerate of close neighbours. She is gullible in that she believes anything a builder tells her including that I caused damp in her cellar

It was clear that they were cowboys, I looked it up and tidying a small garden with one person would take 5 hours max including tidying , there were 2 of them.

I think with this neighbour my worry is unpredictability, that I don't know what stupid thing she is going to do next. She has already expressed an interest in felling my trees and replacing the fence which is mine. Worse still now she has removed all plants she can see into my house and garden. If we put up a solid fence the light in my garden would be entirely gone. As happened the other side where nothing grows any longer. As a keen gardener that would be a disaster.

Thank you for trying ti help I appreciate it makes a change from the usual stop fussing get over it replies, often to quite serious issues though mine isn't.
