Ever wonder how your neighbors feel................

[spike60]

.........when you're running saws a little late in the evening?

For the record, I usually try to avoid running anything after 9:00. But that self-imposed curfew is occasionally altered by beer comsumption. :msp_sneaky:

Last night the power went out just before 8:00. After being out for 10 days due to Irene, you can bet that I wasn't too thrilled to see the lights go out. An occurance that was met with language that is far from printable here. When they went out, I thought I heard something snap.

Sure enough, it was just across the road, where the wires are set back about 30ft in the woods. This realization came to me at freaking 2:00am, when I was awakened by the sound of chain saws running. Normally one of my favorite sounds in the world, but at this hour it was "you got to be kidding." I didn't want electricity, I wanted sleep. I actually laughed out loud thinking about all the racket I make around here. :biggrin:

Then these poor guys from the power company that got called out at that hour got their truck stuck in the mud. The next half hour was a symphony of the reving truck engine, spinning tires and more chainsawing as they were cutting limbs to throw under the tires.

Finally got back to sleep around 5:00, only to get up at 6:00. Kinda tired, and heading to bed soon. :msp_mellow: Or maybe I'll head out to the workshop and fire up a muff modded 288!!!

Lol,..I don`t have neighbors any more.

 

[WoodChuck'r]

No, I don't care.

 

[audible fart]

Ljute's neighbors wish he would start a chainsaw to cover up all the grunt and slap sounds.

 

[WoodChuck'r]

Hey AF.....

Being locked in Lj's basement I completely agree.

 

[procarbine2k1]

I just use some common sense, havent had any problems. I removed a Sugar Maple for one of my neighbors, also keep the other neighbors driveway clean in the winter. For any of the others, they can complain as much as they want- I dont care for their dogs barking.

 

[Jbevs]

I live in a duplex, next to a bunch of other duplexes in the middle of a city (100,000+) I get some wierd looks tuning a chainsaw in the back yard!

 

[audible fart]

Being locked in Lj's basement I completely agree.

Holy mackerel, you're still locked in there? I thought you escaped a couple winters ago.

 

[WoodChuck'r]

I got out. But he found me.

I hate it down here. He puts on a wig and likes to play Dog The Bounty Hunter.


It's really farking creepy. :help:

 

[Tree Wacker]

[Slamm]

Ha, ha, funny thread, just before dark, I started tuning my modded 084 for the warmer weather......... it was a loud session, LOL.

My neighbors are about a mile away. I don't think they can hear the saw over the other neighbors shooting their firearms off. I think they went through 5000 rounds tonight.

 

[o8f150]

thank goodness we are way out in the county,, heck with it,, i think i will go make a few cuts with the 372 again

 

[zopi]

Considering I plow their drive in the winter and pride assistance with their trees, pretty much for beer, nahh...don't give a damn.

 

[tilenick]

I just had my 306A running at (what time is it?) 11:30 P.M. just to hear it run. I havent heard from the cops yet.

 

[mikefunaro]

I have some neighbors who are fine, and others who seem to think that their #### doesn't stink, and their power equipment doesn't make any noise.

One guy once ran a wood chipper non stop from 7am to 8pm (I guess it was a rental), and then #####ed at me for driving around a quad about a week later while he was "eating dinner" and was trying to talk with a drumstick in his hand. :msp_mad:

 

[madhatte]

I worry very little about neighbors. They shoot more than I do, and don't gripe about saws. I like living where I do.

 

[little possum]

Its not unheard of for there to be some kind of machine running around here all night. Neighbor is a bull hauler so he gets in at all times of the night. Fires up the big Massey and feeds his horses/cows.
Other neigbors are family, and they mise well get use to it. The rest of them within ear shot, well they just gonna have to deal with us! Im sure they love GTGs

 

[JustinM]

Lol,..I don`t have neighbors any more.

same here.

 

[J Beard]

I used to go out to the shed after a few beers and kick start my old Norton.....round midnight....maybe a little later.
Just cuz I missed the sound of it.
Never even occurred to me that I was only bout 60' from my neighbors house at the time.
69' 750 Commando
Money got tight after the kids started poppin out and it had to go.

I miss that old bike.

But not the neighbor!
