Problem neighbours!

Well I haven't been out there all that much, they still rubberneck over the fence but no actual comments!
I have a little work to do tomorrow, cutting out the surround for my freshly decased monitor and make a support board for the pcb etc.
So that will be the real test
Plenty of cutting to get the curves right for the screen edges ;)

I had a similar problem when I moved to a new neighborhood when I bought my house. I play the drums so I was stoked to have my own garage for the first time in my life. I planned on talking to each of the neighbors and introduced myself, told them I was a drummer, and if there were any particular times of the day that they preferred that I didnt play. I play metal so there is a lot of double kick exercises I do, and that would cause the most noise. I told them that I would probably play only on saturdays between 1 and 4 pm. The old crone next store whined about it, but everyone else was cool, and they couldnt really do anything about it cause I wasnt breaking any laws, and I own my house. Sorry. Go live in an old folks home if you got a problem with people making a little noise once a week. I thought it was funny that the lady tried to complain to me about my drumming, but when nextdoor to her, some freaks run some sex/orgy thing once a month that they charge people at the door and it eats up parking down the whole street. Pffft. I even checked it out on the internet. Couldnt believe it.
Oh and good choice on the Slayer. I love me some slayer. Of course the stuff I listen to now would probably make them run to the nearest church! >:D

hahah excellent, sounds like a fun neighbourhood!
Well I has out there cutting, routing, drilling and sanding today for a good 4 hours
From 11am till 3pm, surprisingly they weren't in their garden when I started.
I saw the lady at about 12, I asked her if she had got any post today, I hadn't and was expecting a couple of things.
She was nice as pie with me, chatted for a couple of minutes about the postman and the weather, then I carried on.
Got my first draft of my rounded control panel done, monitor mounting board, supports structure for the monitor control board and a few other odds and ends.
They stayed in doors while I was working, about 2:30 when I started to pack up and clean everything up, they came out.
I feel if I work it like that, 2 days a week we can all get along just fine.

Sounds like they got the message and are conforming a bit more to your needs, as it should be. Good to hear that they are respecting, rather than resenting your rights. :applaud:

I'm very happy with that situation, now that they have shown willing by not complaining - I will do the same.
I will speak to them about my working and tell them it will only be 4 hours, 2 days a week.
And when I can, I'll let them know which days.
