7 am weekdays.
9 am weekends.

I had a new roof put on my house last summer. They started on a Friday afternoon and worked until 9pm. I woke up Saturday morning at 7am to banging on the roof. The same guys were back by 6:30am. I was like WTF. Felt bad for my neighbors but not much I could do.

Do you mow at 7am on a Sunday? Lol. I normally wait until 9 on weekends if I'm doing something noisy outside like mowing, cutting deck boards, pressure washing, etc. Of course I live in Brookside, so the houses are right next to each other.

The guys doing the work dont wanna work 9 to 6 and get home at 7 on saturday. If you start at 6:30 you can be home at 4 and still have a life.

I mow whenever im ready to mow ha. Were pretty spaced out here but my closest neighbor starts his diesel truck betweem 4 and 430 every day. I think people complain too much in general

[shindig]

I agree, I wasn't complaining. They did an awesome job and cleaned up the best I had ever imagined. My neighbor used a different roofing company a few years ago and they really pissed me off. They basically finished up, got a leaf blower out and blew wood and shingle parts into my front yard, plus nails, that were on her driveway. I called them and bitched to the owner and they finally came back a few days later and cleaned my yard up.

Plus, theyre roofers.....youre lucky if you can get them to show up at all.

i have, particularly when i lived in Lawrence and needed to beat the summer heat

if that makes me an inconsiderate asshole, so be it

You guys are making some good arguments for HOAs.

[Sparko]

My HOA wouldn't let me leave a small sign for the roofing company who did our house up for even a day. Bitched about it an hour into it being in the yard. They did a great job, so I was on-board with having it up a few days. But man. Meanwhile, a Trump flag and sign around the corner are still polluting the world. People are afraid to call them out because they are demonstrably crazy.

I don't buy this argument. If hours worked are the same you just shift your schedule.

If you work at 6 it means you get up at five which means you go to bed at 9...which is 5 hours after getting home. If you start work at 9 you get to sleep until 8, which means you don't go to bed until 12, which is 5 hours after getting home. Same amount of time.

Having done both, i much prefer the earlier shift. When you get done there is still daylight and afternoon left. I dont want to sleep in, and im a morning person so i much prefer bwing up early and working as opposed to gwtting up late. Im up at 5 no matter what so if i can work and get home earlier why wouldn't I want to?

Plus, in the summer it is MUCH more productive to work when its 70 at 6 am as opposed to starting when its already 90+

[defixione]

My framer started at 6:00 a.m. every morning last summer . . . in old West Lawrence. Not one complaint from any of the neighbors.

That is always my goal when working on a project outside in the summer on the weekend, but my lazy, non-morning ass lays in bed reading Kansas Crimson threads. Then I get up grudgingly, make coffee, spend more time on my iPad, take my boxer for a walk, then go out at 11 am and complain about sweating bullets and say fvck it, its too hot for this BS...lol

[ousdahl]

I miss those early summer mornings, getting up at daybreak and knocking off by the time it gets hot.

But I also found a certain novelty to having a cooler full of ice cold Gatorades and smashing them at like 1 bottle per hour yet never having to pee.

Most, not all, have work during the week. And have Saturday and Sunday off. Those days are typically considered rest days and that's why a lot if communities have noise ordinances.

[TDub]

Its also the only time you have to accomplish anything at home if you work a different job all week

[pdub]

I wouldn't call anyone to complain but if my neighbor was running a chainsaw at 6:30 am on a Sunday morning I'm going to ask him not to.

It also depends on the distance you have from your neighbors.
