10am is my personal cut off. I won't mow the lawn or do anything loud until after then. My kids on the other hand are the wildcard.

Is your neighbour dual-wielding lawnmowers?

[–] blandfordforever@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Don't be ridiculous. He has a lawnmower in one hand and a chainsaw in the other.

My neighbor was practicing with a trumpet at 1 am last night.

Neighbor cuts their postage stamp lawn with a loud lawn mower for 30 minutes. When they finish the next neighbor thinks to themself, 'I should cut my lawn', and starts a loud mower. When they finish the next neighbor starts. ALL Saturday. One after the other! Can't you all just do it at the same time! Why can't you use a push mower on a lawn that is smaller than a car parking spot! Why does it take you 30minutes, of using loud power tools, to cut a lawn the size of a car parking spot!!!

Back in CA, there was a total grillman , appearance and all, that'd roll down the street in a golf cart with a massive sound system filling the entire rear behind his seat, and he'd blast out absolute trash dadrock with huge floor-shaking subwoofers, and do it all with this empty gammon grin behind his wrap-around polarized sunglasses, going back and forth at least twice a week around the same time.

He was still not as divorced as my-hero though.

Are you one of those damn night people complaining about us morning people getting on with stuff in the limited time window we have?

Moving blankets are a wonderful solution. Hang them over your windows and enjoy the quiet. Get thick ones. Uhaul has good ones.

Look how lucky you are. Mine desides 23:00 is the perfect time to start drilling.

Doing the lawn after dark seems so unwholesome. Which is annoying because I could use a 25° drop in temperature.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

What about flying a kite in the dark?

And depending on the size of your lot, maybe you could use a reel mower. They're nearly silent!

You could also use a scythe, but that sounds like a lot more work.

That means you're all going to be quiet and mindful of us third-shifters, right?
...Right?
