Drilling

I have that trouble as well!!!

 

Making noise up until 11 p.m. is allowed by law but there certainly is a common sense value put to it.

Drilling a party wall at 8 p.m. I think is totally unacceptable unless the neighbour gives permission as the noise can be horrendous. It's totally different from playing music or even having a party as the sound vibrates directly through the wall.

There's a need to co-exist amicably and doing that sort of thing without asking is anti-social. This can lead to bad feelings and deliberate hostility and reciprocity. A simple request, also saying how long it will go on, can save so much hassle.

 

Oh, things have moved way beyond that stage in the intervening years... to the point that the police were out (again) at his door today. I dream of the day we can move away from here as they have ruined a home that we were really happy in.
