    During the week you can annoy the neighbours by starting the mower up at 7am, I think it's 8am on weekends..What gives me the &^%$# are the wankers with leaf blowers.

    In Brisbane you can start up at 7am on Saturdays and 8am on Sundays.

    My neighbour always does this at 7am on the dot on Saturday morning. It drives me insane. Its either the lawnmower, or blower or some other bloody noisy thing. My house is longer than theirs so my bedroom window is alongside their backyard. He also watches movies at full blast at 11pm on his home theatre. He knows it gets on peoples nerves because he smirks at you when you are out there and he is mowing.

    So last weekend, I found that I needed to cut up a whole heap of old skirting boards with my drop saw at 7am. Along the side of my house. Next to their living area

    Don't stress mate, they have bags on them from an early age.
    Most of the spraying is done on the foliage and the weeds around them.

    I'm sure you wouldn't be sooking if they were fixing a pothole out front of your house with a jetpatcher at that time.

    I have no sympathy for anyone asleep after 7am, hope the sun comes through your window and burns your arse out of bed.

    Get up and live.
