Do your neighbors hate you?

I've been hitting my cabinet hard for the past few weeks, but I actually have a few hours in a day to work on it.  My wife gets home from work about 5:30.  We make and eat dinner.  It's 7:30 usually before I can start working on anything.  So for the past few weeks I've been out using my jigsaw, router and/or drill on something nearing a daily basis.  My neighbors must be getting so sick of listening to it.  I think it really is pretty impolite.

It's summertime. The sun hasn't even set yet. It's not impolite. It's cool that your considering your neighbors, but your allowed to do what your doing. They MIGHT hate you, but who cares...

Hell, I think my 8am lawn mowing neighbor needs to be more considerate, but I understand that 8am may be his only time to do that kind of work.
shmokes:
right, but if he mowed his lawn every morning you might be somewhat less understanding.   ;D  I'm sure that when someone's power tools were screaming away in the front yard until 10:00pm for a night or two nobody thought anything of it.  But while I'm sure they know I'm not breaking any noise ordinances or anything, someone's probably ready to come over and stick my router [censored by Saint].







p.s. Saint didn't really censor that.  I just thought it would be funny to write.   ;D

On weekdays I work until 9:30 PM in the garage - I think that's reasonable and it's not every night... maybe twice a week on average on the weeks I do work on a project.  Anyway, I don't think you are being rude.
shmokes:
I don't have a garage, though.  I'm on my driveway.  And I usually push it to 10, cos I usually can't even get started until 8ish.  I don't know.  If it was one of my neighbors, by now I think I'd be like,"Are you kidding me?  Is this just going to go on every night from now on?  What in god's name is he doing over there?"

But part of the reason I was hitting it so hard is that I was hoping to complete it before school started back up.  School has started back up now, so I'll have to slow down now.  Also, I'm getting pretty close to done with power tools.  So hopefully they'll all forget what a bastard I am.   ;D
