It’s Easter. Had multiple people mowing at same time. The dick at the end of the street was running power tools. Loud as shit outside.

Concise and accurate.

FTW.

It may not be Easter to him, just another Sunday. Did you ever stop to consider that?

Don't want noise from neighbors? Buy a place without neighbors or one with a HOA that restricts noise to a time you deem acceptable.

Its a free country. Do as you please within the law.

I did. I think I stated so, fairly clearly, in my original gripe.

OMG, you yelled at The Pope?

Well they were the Church of Scientology, so ol' L. Ronnie has elevated to head alien butt buddy or whatever they ascend to on the official tone scale and whatnot. So there's that.

Epic rant fail. I'll mow on Christmas, new years, Easter ,any damn day I choose. Busy body neighbors

Put me in the “forgiveness” camp.

I’d rather have neighbors who keep their yard and house maintained, even if their scheduling decisions were contrary to mine than have neighbors who live in squalor and make the hood a shithole.

^^^^^
Good point, sir.

Anytime after 9am and I'm ok with it . Doesn't matter what day it is .

Hell, depending on where you live in Hokie nation, I’m surprised there is grass to mow....there was a foot of snow in Blacksburg less than 10 days ago

Up here behind the blue line in NoVA my grass is nowhere near ready to mow

Mowers don't bother me like leaf blowers. Man, you spend 20 minutes blowing what could take you 5 with a rake or a broom.

I was, too, but I'm of the opinion that if someone is going to mow on Sunday, they ought to at least wait 'til after church is out. The two churches within rock-throwing distance of the neighborhood might appreciate it, too.

Hey, I try to be a decent neighbor. I don't open up the garage doors and pump the Viking death metal until after 2!

Well, our church has an 8:00 AM service that gets out about 9:00. Even with all of the "twice a year Catholics" it was probably out by 9:30 Easter morning.

That being said, I really don't see what the time church lets out has to do with anything. Are you saying they should remain quiet so you can sleep in church?

In general, I try to wait until 10:00 to do anything noisy outside and I try to wrap it up by 8:30 at night.

Our city noise limits basically says you can be loud as you want until 10pm. I’ll hire a band and have them go on stage loud as fuck until 9:59pm. I bet the neighbors would really enjoy that

If at all possible, I try to cut late afternoon.
Too much dew otherwise. I like dry grass cutting.

As a kid growing up in South Mississippi (late 70's, it was), you were generally considered a miscreant hairball for mowing your grass on a Sunday. Of course, blue laws also kept the booze from flowing, and most restaurants were closed or closed early.

Nowadays it's anything goes. Sign of the times, I suppose.

Well, I see several problems with this post so far. First, I'm still asleep at 0900. But I live far enough and my house is situated such that neighbors noise doesn't bother me. Then there is the issue of me not mowing at all, I tend to hire it done. Any time Jeremy decides to cut my lawn is OK with me. The shithead who owns the house to my east doesn't worry me much. They never cut their grass and also hire it done. I assume the cutter has a real job and tries to knock it out after work. The guy living to my west (and up above) has a terrible time. He finds fairly young boys to do his work and they can't be found during sleeping hours (like me.) There is no one to my north, except those damn yankees across the river. Too far to be of any concern.

That only leaves my south end exposed..so to speak. She just bought the house and has never cut the lawn since she purchased it. She might even be a lawyer. Someone hinted at it, but I haven't smelled any stench...yet.

Its going to be cold the rest of the week, so my plan is to sleep in and not worry about it too much.
