Our neighbors decided that it would be a very great idea to start split and saw 350 ft³ of wood at 6am on Saturday morning, until 11am.
Get out of town, into a rural area they said. It’s much quieter they said. That and the street that runs in front of our house…
Hahaha welcome to rural living for sure! Ive had a couple early camping mornings because I didn’t know how close the loggers would be. It’s nice to get started on chores earlier as you can, but I do try to be mindful of gas tools before 8.
One of my neighbors must be invested in a couple different ammunition companies and trying to inflate their stock the way they shoot. All day Sunday sometimes.
Trade offs for living in the woods.
Literally on my drive home today. Dude was angry that I was actually going 25 mph outside the school, where busses were loading children and sped around me doing like 50 at the first opportunity.
Then he literally stopped at the next red light, saw I was right behind him, and just ran the red light because his tiny, fragile ego could not handle the fact that he was a grown ass man acting like a petulant child. Which obviously means he needs to break the law more.
I assume he had shit himself because I cannot imagine any other reason for a grown ass man to behave like this.
not only is it a drag strip, but it has fun moving obstacles.
Just my cope after an absurdly noisy morning :) happy weekend, everyone.

LEAFBLOWER INTENSIFIES
The people across the street were grinding tree stumps at 8am Sunday last week. I yelled out the window but it didn’t work. They were done and gone by 10, which is when they should have started.
SORRY WE CAN’T HEAR YOU BECAUSE OUR MACHINES ARE SO LOUD. FUN, EH!
8AM seems perfectly responsible time to start to me. I don’t know about your area but 10AM is when the heat starts around here.
Reminds me of my father. He’s up super early, like 4 am, and to him 7 am is perfectly late enough to run the wood planer on a weekend day.

When I am doing stuff at night I try to be as quiet as possible. The morning people could follow this until 11 am.
Depending on location, it’s too freaking hot to be doing yard work anytime past 11 in the summer months. 9 - 11am is usually when I get my shit done.
Then again, with my neighbors have a similar work schedule to me, so I guess I’m not bothering anyone.

A lot of us work at night. My bed time is 8am. Why exactly do you deserve sleep more than I do just because I’m on a different equally necessary schedule?

I just don’t understand why it’s necessary to be a nuisance to other people inside their homes at any hour on any day, outside of necessary rare events such as work being done on the house with power tools. I manage to live my life without creating a noise that could conceivably wake someone at any hour of any day more than once a month or two. I view people blasting loud music, letting their dogs bark for hours on end, mowing lawns with deafening machinery, and so on as the equivalent of walking around my house banging pots and pans together. I know you think of it as “necessary” but I assure you that it isn’t. You’re loud because you don’t care about the disturbance you cause people, not because you truly have to be.

My parents live in the country. They have one neighbor. He’s on meth so he likes to start chainsawing right around dark and continues until around 2am.
Just get him more meth. He’ll stop soon.

What time is polite on the ‘weekend’?
10am and later, I think
That is overly polite in my opinion. I’m happy to fire up the lawn mower after 9am.
i used to work at a customer service call centre, we had a rule against making outbound calls before 9am
In my part of Virginia, they have established noise laws. Seem pretty fair
ordinance defines daytime as 7 AM–10 PM on weekdays and 9 AM–10 PM on weekends and holidays, and nighttime as any time outside of daytime.
The ordinance limits noise levels to 60 decibels during the day and 55 decibels at night in residential areas.
The law has a surprising amount of detail regarding things like vehicle noise, construction, etc.

10am is my personal cut off. I won’t mow the lawn or do anything loud until after then. My kids on the other hand are the wildcard.
I have a rule that if my noise is a problem for someone they will surely come, knock on the door, let me know and I will stop it immediately.
It hasn’t happened yet so I assume no one is inconvenienced.
Actually I extend this to all areas of life. I believe that if something I do is a problem for someone, they will tell me. It’s much more sane than second guessing if my guitar session gets through the walls or not and checking the thickness in the architecture plan and calculating decibels.

I go through my life trying to be quiet so as not to disturb others.
This is a loser way, it puts you at a huge disadvantage. Go loud ablaze with guns smoking.
Moving blankets are a wonderful solution. Hang them over your windows and enjoy the quiet. Get thick ones. Uhaul has good ones.
That means you’re all going to be quiet and mindful of us third-shifters, right?
…Right?Look how lucky you are. Mine desides 23:00 is the perfect time to start drilling.
