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.

My neighbors must be getting so sick of listening to it. I think it really is pretty impolite.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
Lets say that the neighbors would have to be EXTREMELY anal with their windows open to even hear the noise.
Save my neighbors from impending doom! (Meridian)

My neighbors. I hate them. They are up early, have the garage open, their ---smurfing--- air compressor on - and it’s loud and most of the time that air compressor is accompanied by the blaring rumble of their ---goshdarn--- car stereo that is alos on so the --missioncontrols-- in the garage can hear it. apparently they have never heard of ipods or portable musical equipment! I’m fed up. they have no sense of consideration. They must think that no one can hear them, their stereo or whatever the hell they are working with IN that garage to make all the goddanm noise that they are making.
I think it might be a machine shop in making or some form of manufacturing as these people don’t seem to have a job anymore either.
It’s nice outside.
It WOULD be nice to open the windows, take in the nice air, turn off the AC. Maybe rest on the couch for lunch and enjoy the quiet. IF THERE WAS SOME! I can’t open the windows because all i hear is their noise, their stereo or their drills and cutters! ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---!
They are THE ONLY noisy people on this whole street! I not a spring chicken but I’m not too old to hand down some serious vengeful ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- either. These folks live a few houses down and are still this noisy that I can’t enjoy what I have worked for!
SOMEONE, ANYONE please tell these people to SHUT THE ---fudgesicle--- UP!
Their well being, home and physical possessions depend on me not losing anymore of my ---smurfing--- mind.
I have plenty of experience in dasterdly destructive deeds and that they wont know who or how but they sure as hell will know WHY, and then it will be too late.
Their address is 273 Spicewood drive.in Meridian. Drop them a line, email them if you know them, drive by and tell them their neighbors are plotting their demise! I COULD try to ask them to stop, be considerate, to stop acting like they are the only ones on the ---smurfing--- block but then, if they gave me a ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow--- attitude or refused, they would know it was I who ruined their life later down the line.
Plus, I am sure I am not the only one irritated. I watch out my window, I look around. other people are looking at them in disgust, closing their windows as well. I am NOT the only person ticked off! so, this is your chance to be a do-gooder instead of just ranting and raving. Help them, help me. I am surely about to blow and it could be devestating. VERY.
Break into his house and break his new TV. That's Karma.
We all like to act like we are all angels or could never destroy other peoples stuff if it comes down to it. Some might even go so far as to try to make others think they could never do anything like this while posting on a message board. The fact is you're only kidding yourself trying to act as if you would not get fed-up with a problem that would not seem to end, and if this was the only way to make the situation right, then so be it. I did say send a letter explaining the problem and wait and see if anything changes, and if not...
Yes...we're morons...because you know what happened. Yup...color issue couldn't be adjusted out. I pull the front off and the damned blue tube (projection screen TV) was all blurry...why? Because (A) it had FUNGUS growing inside (water cooled) and (B) some moron (likely the scum bag who sold it) had tried to repair it himself...and when they put everything back together they managed not to include the neck rings that were present on all other colors.Did you happen to take pictures of the fungus and missing neck rings?
Bottom line, the dude refused to refund the dough, refused to take back his damaged TV. I talked to a lawyer friend who said I could sue in small claims court but it would come down to a he said she said and I'd likely lose.

Dude...we think alike....though I was thinking a BB gun would work fine. It's a big ole Plasma sitting right in front of his window. 20 pumps and a pellet and it's toast!

Sounds like a cowardly way to deal with the situation to me. At least have the balls to confront the guy. But whatever. People deal with crap their own way. Some folks have learned personal responsibility from their parents, others haven't. I don't blame you...
You just said you agree with Shmokes in destroying the guys TV but then said you do not agree with me saying I would do something like this? :dizzy:
Good save. Some of the ignorant might actually buy that.Kind of a little ---smurfette---, aren't you?

That's completely understandable and I think everyone does that. I know I've had some thoughts and fantasies about things I'd like to do or see happen to some people I know, but that's as far as it goes.

The difference is that while I will think about it...I'll not go through with it. I'll want to...but I won't.
I'm sure you're a fine guy and a would never stoop to this level. :blah:

Well, I wish Hemi would tone it down a little. The few posts I've seen from him (in different topics) it's plainly apparent he's not going to fit in well here. I certainly hope he smokes a bowl or in some other way chills out a little.
I confronted my neighbor about 'the problem', and it still stayed a problem.

Let's also say that your problem was a violent pair of pit bulls and that guy's problem is some noisy neighbors. The two are on entirely different planes of urgency.
Same end result though. If it takes effort on their part to correct the situation, it will not be corrected. A person willing to disrupt the neighborhood like that isn't gonna go out of their way to correct things.
what cable gauge did you use for the controls to ipaq for your cab?
My this has gotten interesting. Anal and sewer from Chad in the same thread. Mud slinging over an 'OOPS, DID I REALLY DO THAT?'. What else?
My neighbors don't hate me
but i think my wife does.

Perhaps you should send her over to the neighbors? Then Maybe they'd all hate you, but at least you'd have some peace and quiet...
Top three reasons we moved back to NY from FL after 2 years:
1. Too freakin' hot (91 degrees and humid for 6 straight months)
2. Too small lots (too close to neighbors, will eventually hate them)
3. No basements (can't hide from wife and where would arcade cabs go?)

Who the hell wants to lug heavy cabs up and down a basement anyway. Get yourself a decent house with an extra room and set up your game room. Basements are old, dingy and smell like garbage.
Depends where in NY; and there's lots of places with basements. Personally, except for rare situations - like an old buddy of mine whose land is hilly and his basement has a door on a lower part of land than the first floor is on so there's no steps to fall down - I'd prefer an extension or just extra room of some sort. But I don't live in a dense urban sprawl region, either.I meant no basements in south Florida because the water table is too high. There are basements in NY, one think that makes me happy.

I've always never had to "hide" my cabs in an attempt to not "disturb" anyone. My family and people I have known have always welcomed game playing of all kinds and it is accepted to have them in the main house and not having to bury them in a basement.
I guess we all just need a warm safe place to lay our head and feel safe in our own mind.

I think it has to do with foundations needing to be set below the frost line.

That is why houses have basements. That's also why really old houses have basements that clearly were never meant to be used for much. Go into a 150 year old house up here and you'll see why. It's basically a hole walled up with rocks and mud with a mud floor. Not even usable as storage.
Good save. Some of the ignorant might actually buy that.
Dude...it's been 6 months...
If I was going to reek havok on the guys lawn or his TV, don'tcha think I'd have done it already?
Bah...like I said, it would take me being real drunk and a lapse of judgement AND being near the guys property to do anything (not going to happen, he lives about 15 miles from here).
I've thought about killing different people at different times too...did I do it? Hell no.
That's called an earthen cellar, and it's good for all sorts of things.
I have a rear-projection TV I'm going to be selling soon... anyone interested??Nah, I already have my 50" plasma in my "basement" home theatre... but thanks!
That's called an earthen cellar, and it's good for all sorts of things.
I thought earthen cellars were dug into a hillside with the front entrance at ground level but the back below grade? The ones I'm talking about are just like slab foundations but predate concrete. They're made up of rocks placed by hand.
Oh I see. Yeah, I missed a couple things. Although, I don't know if all earthen cellars were accessible only from the outside. I got the idea from my grandma that theirs had stairs to it from the inside, also.
You'll find that there are also no basements in Phoenix, AZ. I think it has to do with foundations needing to be set below the frost line.
Of course there are. That's not what I meant. It's not like you're forbidden from building a basement just because you don't have to have one. But basements are a helluva lot more expensive than a second-story, and they're less marketable (lack of sunlight, for example). But where it freezes, the foundation of the home must be below the frost line. In NYC, for example, that's four feet . . . and the foundation has to go deeper than that. And many places get a lot colder than NYC. So they build basements there as a matter of course, not just because someone wants a basement.The foundation doesn't have to stand on a basement. In the Netherlands we put our houses on concrete pillars that are rammed into the ground until they stand on something solid. The foundation is then put on top of these pillars.
I hate my neighbors, but they don't hate me.

Same here!
I sometimes think that I am too considerate and they just live their life doing what the hell they like. Luckily they are not noisy often, but they seem to have a blow out once a month!

Well, I am a drummer. If I wanna get behind the skins after 8 PM or so, I actually go over to the neighbor's house and make sure that I won't be disturbing them.
That's how I feel, and why I'm concerned about my use of power tools evening after evening. It would start irritating me, and I think you gotta kind of try to create the world that you would like to live in, even if others aren't participating. It's just a healthy way to live, IMO.
