Neighbour making noise

Lord Trollington · 01-09-2014 07:45PM #1

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 · 01-09-2014 07:49PM

Are they those smell your neighbours farts timber frame houses?

Start banging back op

hidinginthebush · 01-09-2014 07:50PM

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 · 01-09-2014 07:52PM

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.

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

Lord Trollington · 01-09-2014 07:54PM

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..

get him swatted

Buona Fortuna · 01-09-2014 09:29PM

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.

Architraves for one.

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!

steveone · 02-09-2014 12:43AM

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

mikeyjames9 · 02-09-2014 12:50AM

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
