Neighbour making noise

Lord Trollington

So the next door neighbour is banging and hammering away at some work next door.

The walls are paper thin and I can hear him lining up the nails let alone the banging of the hammer and the cutting of timber.

To be fair to him he's just moved into the house last week but it's tipping towards 8pm and the 15 month old is still awake when she is normally down for 7PM.

At what stage/time can I bang on the door and shove the hammer up his arse and tell him to be quiet. Or is it ok as he's in his own house.

Perfectly acceptable in todays society to burn down the house.

kneemos

Are they those smell your neighbours farts timber frame houses?

on the river

Start banging back op

hidinginthebush

Knock on the door and politely ask them to stop, don't see how they'd have a problem if you explain you've a baby in the house.

TheBody

Are you sure it's not his Mrs that he is banging? Or maybe your Mrs?!!

Break in his back door and give him a right going over, call him every name under the sun and maybe throw in a few slaps.

Ughh

Can't you just visit him and explain that your 15 month old is normally down for 7PM?

Lord Trollington

Given that he's only after buying, I'd rather not come across as a complete pr!ck.

So maybe i'll hold off on shoving the hammer north.

Eh we're both posting on After Hours ya sponger.

He is perfectly entitled legally speaking to make that kind of noise up to 10pm. If his renovations are particularly disturbing for you maybe you can reach a compromise. If he is working 9-5 asking to stop banging by 7pm might be unreasonable depending on his commute, he might not even have time to lift a hammer.

Could be worse could be listening to him bang his wife ,Gf or other

He's probably fapping what with the fappening currently going on.

In fairness, as the OP has a 15 month old child, it is safe to assume that he is heterosexual & is probably not into that sort of thing.

Inform the local RAAD that he's peddling muck.

This works best in Bray. Elsewhere, not so much. The old "phone the cops and tell them he's got a gun" hasn't worked out so good lately either..

geret

get him swatted

You could suggest to him that he'd make less of a mess if he used screws to put up whatever. You could even become buddies by lending him your electric screwdriver.

All of that goes for a bollix if he's actually knocking a wall down, or creating the secret basement dungeon.

Maybe he's a farrier and brings his work home with him.

at least you dont have to deal with drunk neigbours singing and shouting and playing music at all hours

My previous neighbour had a husky and a german shepherd. Backed morning noon and night. I was never so glad to see the back of anyone in my life. New neighbour moved in a couple of weeks ago and came round to apologise for the noise he'd made while installing a satellite dish. I told him there was REALLY nothing to worry about!

you should hear the fishwife beside us....and we're in 1950's concrete houses

go round and borrow his hammer and keep it

Have to reopen this again chaps.

All day yesterday 10 to 6ish and So far today from 9am next door have been using pneumatic drills and other extremely noisy tools.

The vibrations from it have caused a picture to fall off the wall in an upstairs room.

I can barley hear myself think and my 20month old didn't sleep a wink all day yesterday which isn't good.

Is there anything I can do? Is he entitled to do this during the weekend all day, the only time I actually have at home

Gongoozler

Crazy idea I know, but how about you go talk to him?

He is perfectly entitled to do at the weekend.

Possibly is, but is his work allowed interfere with stuff hanging on my wall?

People need to do work on their homes.. suck it up. It isn't like it is every day of the week for months.

Crasp

there are no noise laws regarding this type of thing, he can do what he wants in his own home, depending on if he owns it or is renting. it's commendable of him that he is doing it from 10am-6pm amd not the other way around.

some people find the sound of children highly annoying, if I may play devil's advocate.

It's during the day so no you have no real right to complain

It really is. People are entitled to a bit of piece on one morning of the week. It wouldn't kill him to start the work at 11. He has all day.

If you're comparing the sound of children to a pneumatic drill you're more braindead than I thought.

Give me the sound of a pneumatic drill once in a blue moon over the next door neighbours kids running up and down the stars and along the landing....over....and...over....again, day...after.....day, week...after.....week........

Your an honorable citizen, and a credit to your parents.

I commend you sir.

Paco Rodriguez

I think it's selfish to move I to a terraced or semi attached house and expect perfect silence. Unless they're running a business at home they are entitled to work at the legal times.

9 am on a Sunday is fine. Why should people work around someone else's hangover?

My brat has nothing to do with it really. She's sleeping through it at the moment.

I'm standing on my tiled floor in the kitchen and can feel the vibrations from next door, if that can give some sort of perspective to the kind of work that has been going on since 9am.

Could I sit in my underwear blaring Slipknot or similar all day saturday and all day sunday just because I am in the confines of my home? Whats the difference?

Maybe you shouldn't have bought/rented a piss poor house with cardboard walls.

You will have to talk to him and reach a compromise.

"Brat" in relation to the baby of someone they don't know - nice.

But in fairness, blaring music isn't comparable to doing construction work (which could be necessary) but I do think you've cause to ask him to start the work later in the morning.

Eh it's my baby and someone refereed to her as a brat. I was responding

Noise is noise. Doesn't matter if its someone shagging their wife all day, using a pneumatic drill or blaring music. That's my point really.

Why is ok to use a pneumatic drill all day which causes a certain noise level but it's not ok to blare music at the same decibel level as the pneumatic drill??
