[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's BS. I work from home and it's ridiculous to expect that people "be quiet" during those hours. I would never in a million years create a stink about any noise during the day. If you can't concentrate during every day life noise, you have a problem.[/quote]

This +1000!  I teleccommute 100% of the time.  I have security restrictions for my work that mean that I must work at home - WiFi at Starbucks won't cut it. I also live in the suburbs in a single family home.  I promise you - it's a logistical nightmare to host a conference call when the neighbor decides to mow their lawn right outside my window, but so be it.  While I could ask him to stop mowing,  I don't really feel I am *entitled* to a quiet workspace.  It's a home/neighborhood, not an office.  It's one of the downsides that come with the benefits of working at home.

That being said - it'd be[u] AWESOME!!![/u]  if I could just lean out the window and say "hey - mind cutting your lawn 45 minutes from now?" and have that not be an issue ('cause, you know, we'd live in Pleasantville and no one else but me would have a schedule to keep), but whatever.

To answer your question - IF you can keep it quiet, I bet it would [i]definitely [/i]be appreciated.  But the responsibility of you neighbor having a quiet workspace should not fall on you.[/quote]
