I might just add a bit more colour to thie background here. My wife and I are in our mid 50's and the neighbour is older than me. I'm not sure what work he does but I would have thought he was able to retire. Working night shifts at that age doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
I'm retired and like to do a lot of work myself, so it means that any noisy activities at my place will involve me in some way. I realise that cutting dozens of cement pavers makes a racket, and that went on for some hours over about a month - probably four days during that time. But that sort of noise was only during the middle of the day too and it's the sort of noise that will occur in any neighbourhood where renovations or construction is taking place.
To be fair, the neighbour does not indulge in any activities that generate noise, except keep stupid dogs, but so do we. Ours howls at sirens, but is otherwise pretty quiet. He also has guests for dinner and his dining often takes place on his rear deck, not far from our bedroom, and the parties can go for some hours late into the night, but we accept that as part of neighbourhood life.,
I made a fair bit of progress on the trailer this week and have nearly completed all the cutting and welding. What little remains can be knocked over in a couple of hours. He will then have to put up with the sanding back and the compressor running while I repaint it.
I'll make peace with him when I see him - I sure don't want a neighbour like my parents had when I was very young. She was Irish and totally bonkers - hated my old man as soon as she foiund out he was English.
