[quote=Anonymous]I also live in a neighborhood with lots of tear downs, and have had them two houses away, across the street (4 o them!) and directly behind my house.

Each jurisdiction has hours when construction can take place, usually very generous like 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.  Once when my DD was a baby, they were doing something extremely loud (a very loud machine with a smelly gas motor blasting) at 8:30 p.m.  I politely walked over and asked them, in Spanish, if they could please stop as it was past 7:00 p.m. and my baby was trying to sleep.  The workers were very nice and stopped - they were well aware of the work curfew.

So much depends on the builder - some actually send letters to surrounding houses before construction begins letting you know when they will start, and what hours they will be working.  Most don't, and some are really bad.  But as someone who has lived with this for 11 years (our house was one of the first tear-downs), I've only asked them to stop that one time.  It's not that bad and I figure our property values hold steady or go up with each expensive new house that sells in the 'hood.

Good luck.[/quote]
