[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]9 AM on a Sunday is bordering on a little early though I'm pretty good at tuning loud noises out.  I think 10 AM is probably a little more considerate.   However, once summer comes and it starts getting sweltering early, can't really blame people who want to mow early or late.[/quote]

I'm OP--and I agree that on sweltering days this would be fine--but a beautiful peace flu Spring morning when everyone has their windows open? That is just obnoxious and you are on my shit list for doing this. Same woman turns her screaming toddlers out into the backyard, alone, like yapping dogs, at 7:00AM most Sundays so, I shouldn't be surprised.[/quote]

I know this must be hard for above PP, OP, et al, to [b]understand that you are not the center of the universe.  You live where there are houses close to you and they get to decide if they want to mow their lawn, let their dogs out, or even let their toddlers scream (although on this I agree with you).  If you don't like it then move someplace where your nearest neighbor is a mile away.[/b]  Also, find a real problem. [/quote]

I think this is misguided. We can't have everyone doing whatever she damn well pleases and those who don't like it can just move to where there are no neighbors. That doesn't make any sense and its a recipe for communal disaster. I also suspect those who feel this way would feel quite differently when it's an issue that touches them more immediately.

I'd say that when you know you have near neighbors who can hear you, you are responsible for making some serious effort not to disturb them. It seems that 9 am is set by law as a reasonable start time, though I'd think 10 would be safer because even if people aren't sleeping, they should be allowed to have quiet Sunday mornings without power tool noise. But if noisy activity start time is indeed 9 am, neighbors should absolutely make a commitment to keeping power tools, dogs, and toddlers under control before then. [/quote]
