They have been working extensively on the house next door to me for that last month....fortunately it's been reasonably quiet, but last night they are hammering and demolishing a wooden fence/barrier in the back yard!!!

Hope the quiet returns soon Z.

It's the neighbor dogs barking that drive me up the wall!!!!! All last night!!!!

Okay, here's my rant for today. Went to the Sony ebook store to download my FREE book that came with my reader and it won't let me do it even though I have a code without entering a credit card number!!!!

Idiots!

Would perhaps a trip to the store to get some good ear plugs be a better idea?

i suppose that would depend on your definition of "better" but i actually do have earplugs, which are probably close to actually becoming part of my ears from prolonged use. they don't actually block out all the noise though, just dampen it slightly (ever so slightly, when the noise is a farking power saw or whatever the hell they're playing with over there), so i've currently got my headphones on and am listening to augie march on volume 11 (and i can STILL hear those power tools !!!). one way or another i'm probably going to go deaf by the end of this.

Hmm, we never had those kinds of noises going on in this house. It sounds like they're working on metal...

But that wind is really loud! It comes straight at the house, after having travelled across about 5km of flat, open spaces..

Would it be too much trouble to deprive them of electricity?

I have an anti vent. Last night as I was walking Max the Mutant Yorkie, I noticed a bounch of cars outside the house next door. And a U-Haul. There were loads of people there taking boxes and furniture out. Now this is odd, I thought. The Neighborman is in Canada this week, fishing. How could it be tahat they are also moving? as it turns out, just the Neighborwoman and her reprobate son are moving, leaving Neighborman to fend for himself. I've never really ranted about these people, because they have become just a part of the background annoyance. But maybe, just maybe,if the universe is shifting my way, he will move out once he returns to an empty house from his trip...

No more middle of the night fireworks displays. In November. No more driving up at 11:30 PM, yelling loudly at one another, then letting the dogs out and yelling loudly at them. No more petty vandalism of my gardens by The Son and his loser friends. No more mowing the lawn at 6:00AM on a Sunday. Wouldn't that be great?

I'll worry about the new neighbors when they arrive.

oh, i know, wind can be infernally loud too, even if it *doesn't* have 5km of flat, open spaces to build up momentum. here when it's very windy it seems to howl around in the courtyard like some kind of resonance chamber. it's not for nothing people will say that wind will drive you mad, you know.

sweetpea, i like the way you think.

well, that is good news pshrynk. i hope neighborman also moves away, and your new neighbors are a nice, peaceful old couple (but not too old, so you can keep the same ones for a long time). alternately, perhaps you'd be interested in some of my neighbors ? they can't possibly be worse than your current / ex ones, and i'd certainly like to see the back of most of them...

(ironically, the appartment they are currently making such hellish noise in used to be the appartement of the one single neighbor who NEVER caused any trouble or made any noise (other than me, obviously). she moved away. worst of all, i suspect the owner actually threw her out at the end of her lease, which he'll probably do to me too, next year).
