They always start banging and drilling either 20 mins after gracies naptime starts or just 10 mins before her bedtime at 8pm. They know what her nap times are and only work 2 afternoons a week so why do they have to wait until then to start the noisy work

today they were removing skirting boards and they started at 2:20 cue gracie waking up screaming her little head of shouting no banging stop noise

tonight i put her to bed get into her room and she starts crying inconsolably for 20mins shaking and screaming no noise mummy no noise please!!!

so she now assossiates her bedroom with a load of noise and is scared to go in there to sleep BRILLIANT

this has started off an iraional fear of all noises hoover, washing machiene and dishwasher to name a few. I will be speaking to them again tomorrow for about the 100th time this year already and if that dosnt work im sending marc round.

awww hun, thats so unfair of them, hopefully they will listen and not do it again

here is hoping but the amount of times i have spoken to them about it is unreal, its got to the stage where it seems they are doing it on purpose this time alone has been everyday for 6 weeks so far so guess who has an incrediably grumpy child

argh no So they do know then? Thats awful..I hope they get the message thins time.

My neighbours a twat like that..he must be going through some kind of midlife crisis.
He built himself a shed got himself a quad and then proceeds to get it out the shed most afternoons (during Oliver's nap time), revs the engine and polishes it Its been going on for weeks and the quad has never left the blumin' garden

I always find a turd through the letterbox to be quite effective

OH says there are websites that deliver frozen dead rats for feeding snakes with x

dont tempt me lol

next time i move im going to be in the country with no houses for at least 1/2 a mile either side lol x

Can you not get gracie into playing loud musical instruments at 7am or put cbeebies on at volume 100 on sat/sun am's?

i will do after tomorrow i thik but Marc's on nights at the moment so I dont think he would appreciate it

and they have litrally just started up again, im off round there right now GRRRRRRR

You go girl lol!

Let us know what they say, good luck!

wel im back and they said sorry but i only need to do this bit tonight il be half an hour will that be ok so i said in a jokey way which they laughed at only if you want to come and look after gracie screaming the house down

not actually heard a peep out of them as yet

Why are some neighbours assholes x i have them upstairs theye in all day but only start doing diy jobs at 7pm x

Is theyre anyone u can speak to? like ru rented? xx

no we are mortgaged, so no one at all as they arnt breaking any laws or rules x

poor wee grace i hope they stop soon or else lol xx

What age are they? Do they have kids/grandkids? You'd think most people would at least be considerate after 7pm when tots are going to bed.

To be slightly fair to them i can see how accomodating Grace's naps may be difficult. if they want to renevate their house they are entitled to do so, & planning for silence 2hrs every afternoon may be hard... in saying that I suppose they could do painting/prep work then, theyre hardly drilling and banging 12hrs solid so could work round you. x

9.30 at night is totally unreasonable and Im sure you can get them reported for noise pollution as its so late?

she only sleeps for an hour, I wouldnt mind but its every day its a mum and her daughter mum is 50's (ish) and daughter is 21 the house over the road was like a derilict house and the guy who bought it asked me what time she sleeps, he does all the mega noisy stuff with cement mixers etc before her sleep then knocks on the door to see if she is up before restarting, these ones are just arseholes.

Normally they do noisy work when they know marcs on nights and sleeping during the day

Tracy - the cut off is 11pm!!!!!

No way, 11pm, thats taking the piss!!!! I cant believe that!
Some people just dont care do they (

Yer, It is stupid..but I know they can play music up until 10.30/11pm.

I remember growing up and we had these huge recreation grounds at the back of us and twice a year the fair came, they played their music up until 10.30 and then had only the walzter's and tunes running until 11pm

Isn't there a noise by-law there? May want to contact a bylaw officer or the police to enforce it..they ppl may get fined if they don't comply. Nothing worse than noisy disrespectful neighbors hun. xxx

jen we do but the cut off for noise is 11pm so its still way to early for that x

Shit..umm..another suggestion is just trying to drown out the noise for her..running a fan or a sound therapy unit to make it more tranquil in the house. xxx

i dont think that would help they have a bolster and hammer to the wall in the room under the adjoining rom to her if that makes sense it litrally goes through the whoe house like a jack hammer digging up the roads x
