Good morning Neighbour,

Thank you for waking me this morning buy mowing your lawn at ten to eight this morning. I love waking up to the sound of your victa and the sight of your overwieight frame pushing it through the long grass with your headphones on. I am new to the area so anything I can do to repay the favour let me know.

Regards

He wasn't repaying the favour after you had loud, shit music going until late is he?

I do this. My neighbours on one side used to play music until all hours, any night of the week. I know their bedrooms are at the front of the house so I'd mow my lawns a lot earlier than you're supposed to and I'd mow them even when they didn't need it. The leaf blower is a good one too, it's even louder.

They don't do it anymore.

Not much chance of that as the wife is 7 months pregnant. I only moved in a month ago, so I may let this slide. I am not quite sure of the laws regarding this however common sense would say that after 9 on a sunday would be the earliest.
 
This is a tough one...people have different lives so maybe that was the only time he could do it.

Im sure there are laws about noise althouhg i stand corrected on that.

With all due respect i think after 7am is reasonable. I am a young punk and i like my weekend sleep ins and the neighbours soemtimes like to mow the lawn or other things early in the morning but i guess i just have to accept that.

Whatever you do dont get into a petty war with them, things just escalate from there and it becomes much worse.

Maybe have a beet with him and bring it up lightly...or if ur desparate say to him ull do his lawn for him hahahaaha :D
 
I would've thought on a Sunday they could only start at 9am. Also just go over to his/her house and tell them if they do it again you'll ko him.
 
My neighbours decided, this morning, to have a nice long chat about the meaning of life at 7.30am pretty much right outside my bedroom window.....

I went out at 7.40 and asked them if they'd like to come in and have a cup of coffee ... "since I can hear every ****ing thing you are saying anyway.."

They stopped talking ... which was nice of them ...:p

a few handfuls of river pebbles or 1/2 minus on his lawn will go undetected until aforementioned lawnmower runs over them and either propels them sideways into his car in driveway or blunts mower blades.
 
Roundup on his lawn. He won't be needing the lawnmower for a while after it does its thing. :thumbsu:
 
Remember being woken 1 Sunday morning by a neighbor 2 doors down renovating (sanding floors). Stood on the back patio and screamed out "CAN"T YOU F##KEN SLEEP EITHER" Did the job, didn't hear another thing till 10.30.

Raise your arm to the sky and angrily shake your fist.

Don't forget to grit your teeth.

Seriously though, if it's a continuous problem, consider having a chat with him, man to many style (not to start and shit or acting bitchy). If it's a one-off, I'd just let it slide, as annoying as it is.
 
Ugh, hate it. My neighbours always seem to be doing bloody "handy man crap" (ie. using a whole lot of power tools and making a whole lot of ****ing noise). ****ing sucks... and here me and my flatmate are as quiet as mice.

Anyhoo, the worst was my neighbour who actually shares the same property as us, was doing jack hammering. Yup- JACK HAMMERING a whole area of concrete. I thought my head was going to explode.

Then theres the houses next door... oh they are trying to build them who know when they'll actually finish them. (I think we are up to the 2 year mark now). I especially LOVE it how they dont do any work on them at all for like 6 months, but oooh along come the school holidays (i work at a school) and suddenly its all "WORK WORK WORK" on them. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Good luck with your noisy neighbours. If you go online, to your local council I'm sure there are noise restrictions. If he is within the times tho, I dont think you can do much tbh...

Edit: well thats karma for you. I whinge on hear about my neighbours, I go home, put my feet up, turn the TV on and -insert jack hammer like noise here-. ****ing bastards.

My reaction was to turn up Neighbours as high as it bloody could go. Hope they enjoyed the episode.
 
anything after 7am is fine. i love my sleep ins but if the neighbours are mowing their lawn at 7am i just cop it on the chin and live with it. i like to make noise at night (music, mates etc) so if i dont whinge, they wont whinge. its give and take.

I dunno whether you are just saying it is fine with you or whether it is fine by the law, if it is the latter, try checking out post 8 in this thread.

Either way, I've never really had a problem with any of these sorts of things, that is probably because I could sleep through WWIII though.
 
Leave him an anonymous note in the letter box, telling him your view on the practice and suggest a time that suits.

If it continues kill his lawn.
