Hey all:
A question posed in a different thread led me to ask this more general question here.
For all you woodburners, do any of your neighbors get upset with the racket of chainsaws and splitters? Mostly I guess this question is aimed at city dwellers, as the issue isn't generally too bad out in the country, where people are spread farther apart (except for some tight developments in rural areas).
We're lucky in Ely. The town has a long history of burning wood for heat, going all the way back to its founding and continuing through today. A neighbor on one side burns wood for heat, and so do the four neighbors in a row across the street from me. So April tends to be a festival of chainsaws, and there's really no one around who would complain.
Personally, I don't cut before 9 a.m. or after 8 p.m. to make sure I don't wake or keep anyone up unnecessarily.
I know that other folks have had problems with neighbors who have problems with the noise, so I thought I'd ask and see what experiences y'all have had.
