Do your neighbors hate you?

That whole "be nice to your neighbor" thing is really over rated.  ;D

Consider the mortgate payment you make every month before doing something drastic like changing your schedule to please them. Besides, one project in 5 1/2 years is hardly enough racket to piss them off.   :P :dunno

Paul Olson:

Every time I open the garage, all I hear is "Is the arcade open?". Nope, neighbors don't hate me at all.  :)

ChadTower:


Yes, but not because of tool noise.  Mostly because in MA the word "neighbor" actually means "the piece of crap that lives next door".



Hemi:

Just think of all the noise you will be making when you start to play games on that baby. Add a few sub-woofers and turn it up, they will be begging you to turn on your power tools again.  ;D

I recently got a new house and we're currently finishing it. We stop using powertools after 10pm and usually we don't even work at all after 8pm. Still one time a neighbour comes over looking pretty agitated growling at us that we should stop working since it was 11pm already. We were putting tiles in and I gues that the hammering of driving the tiles in the glue was going through the floor/walls. No one complained about the powertools we used prior to that (to cut the tiles to shape) :P

It's a whole new neighbourhood anyway where there are people at work virtually non-stop every day.
