Wayhay - It's early Sunday morning, family have plans, and I get the whole day in the garage.

When do people reckon is it okay to start with the angle grinding, if I want to stay on good terms with the usually friendly neighbours?

I know what I do, but what do others think?

Cheers

I do most of my work at my mother's place so I don't have to worry about the neighbours

8am start on saturday, 9am on sunday, if possible inside to minimise disturbance

I reckon after 10am on a sunday just to be sure. But im up know and want to get cracking. ive got to fix the tin top first

10:00 also for me, but if I was at my Mams it would be 9:00 also

i start at 8 but use no power tools untill 10. . .in the week i finish at 8 and sundays finish at 6

I'll be in there at 8 if need be but this time of the year it will probably be with the TV on watching match of the day and a nice warm cuppa.

I wouldnt start grinding till 10. But i live in a built up area. Have been known to be out there at 8 with it.

i wouldnt dream of grinding before 10am weekends, or 9am weekdays, or after 10pm any day. In fact, i wouldnt even have the compressor on. Good neighbours are to be treasured and respected, once you've had bad neighbours you will understand.

I use my Missus as a guideline for late night work (post 9pm).

If she can hear it in the house with the window open, I don't do it...

Good news is she can't hear the compressor so long as the garage door is shut!!

My noisy work schedule is 7 am till 10 pm weekdays and 7 am till midnight at the weekend.

Don't believe in lie-ins unless I'm hung-over or completely wrecked, and I know my neighbours won't have sympathy if I am!

In return I would never complain about noise from them (and one side he does have 2 range rovers, a discovery, a lancia beta and a pretty loud bike!)

Live and let live! If they complain, I'll keep the noise down, but we've had no probs in the 4 years and I get on with the neighbours fine.

(Ps I know that they work days as well, if they worked shifts I would obviously be considerate to that fact!)

7am!!!!!!!

Does that time actually exist???? Ive heard rumours but my clock doesnt show time that early.

.............................note the hung over comment though............................not had many 7 am starts since my house became a "lads house" as everybody calls it now (me, my bro and my mate live there now!)

from 7 in the morning until 7 and a half in the evening with 2,5 hour of rest.

Sow 10 hours..

those spanish ones are maaaddddd

Tks

Can't answer the question - I usually start around 10-ish, with noisy stuff at 11-ish at the earliest.
