You're in the wrong here. If you're that concerned about your own sleep, invest in ear plugs or move to the country. I shouldn't have to be re-route my weekend to-do list so my neighbor, who may or may not be sleeping, can continue to sleep past 8am. 8am is plenty fair.

Doubt all u want - You'd be my bitch sissy-boy.
I think that there is a difference between snowblowing and lawn mowing Â
You have to be able to leave your house to go about your life, so the time you remove slow has to be your choice and your neighbors have to either accommodate it or just live with it or cry into their cornflakes. You shouldn't be stuck inside your house merely because your neighbors need REM. Plus, while it's not a rare event, it's an occasional one. It's just how life works. Plus, plus...snow is not static. It can accumulate more, making it that much more difficult to remove, it can change texture or density with time and become either more difficult to remove or become more dangerous.
Mowing your lawn is a chore. It needs to be done, but it's static to some degree, so it's always going to be there with pretty much the same effort to remove. It's also not something where if you don't do it right away, your ability to work or leave your house is not impeded. And, as a chore, it's routine. It's nature allows you to take your neighbor's lives into consideration. All within reason. You can't always accommodate people with offset schedules or sensitivities. You still have to live your life even while trying to get along.

8am on a Saturday? I don't give a fuck about your "only time to get extra sleep." Fuck your sleep. You ain't king of the neighborhood no matter what you tell yourself.
I don't think that 8:00 AM is out of line for a Saturday mowing Â

Don’t know about up there but down here in Florida I mow at 8 am if you don’t like it to f’ing bad. Have to be done by 11 otherwise it’s way to brutal out in the sun. Had a neighbor like you once he even called and complained to the cops they told him if he didn’t like it get ear plugs
Municipalities typically have pretty well stated rules Â
That said, purely from an etiquette standpoint, my take is like several others': if you've gotta get out to get to work, do what you need to do. Your neighbors will deal.
I'm fortunate enough to work for people who, when I texted them this morning, one said "if you're caught up, don't bother coming in" and the other, "I'm taking a personal day, and so is X and Y," so it's your call."
I got the snowblower going around 8:30, cleared the sidewalks for 3 neighbors on our side of the street, did the driveway and the back parking area, went in and had some coffee, got to work at about 10:45. Gonna get two project loose ends tied up by maybe 2-3 and head out.
I don't make a shitload of money, but sometimes flexibility makes up for it, and then some.

I wish you were my neighbor. My town's noise ordinance is 8:01pm - 7:59am Monday - Saturday, 9:59am Sunday. I mow on Saturdays and I do it as soon as I'm legally allowed to do so. Sounds like we'd have weekly meetings in my front yard.

Exactly. If he was my neighbor I'd fire up the riding mower at 7am. And then for good measure I'd dump my grass clippings on his front porch. Establish dominance.
blowers just got this bad boy. I retired my 14 (?) year old Ariens for a Deluxe 28 SHO. It was a little funny because I walked in to the shop and I told the guy I expected to get more than 8 years out of the Ariens I bought since everyone said they were the best in the business.
The guy said he was surprised, usually they last longer or are fixable.
The guy looks up my account and says if that's the same one you bought from us it was in April of 2004. We delivered i to xxx address, is that the same one? I said, yes, and was pretty embarrassed. No clue why I thought it was newer than that. He also said it was a lower end model (implying I didn't spend a ton on it).
I know it replaced a piece of shit Craftsman that I'm positive now only lasted two years b/c we moved into that house in 2002 and I lived in Boston in an apartment before that.
Anyway, not sorry to miller. And I'll snow blow any god damn time I want. LOL just kidding. I'm respectful of other people unless we have a compelling reason we need to get out. The plows make almost as much noise as the the snow blowers with the scraping and beeping when they back up.
I personally don't care what time a neighbor does house chores at and I say that as someone that used to sleep in pre-kids. It's work that needs to be done and everyone has different schedules and commitments. However if it's recreational like my neighbor that opens his windows and plays the drums from 8pm-12am most nights, you can go fuck yourself with a thorned dildo.
and adjust accordingly for lawn cutting is probably a good idea. Snowblowing is different...unless your trying to blow under 4 inches of the stuff and then you can wait. Get your shovel before 8am.
While I'm totally aware of how annoying an early morning lawnmower can be, I was out there at least twice last winter shoveling snow at 6:30 in the morning. In a quiet neighborhood, you know that's an annoying sound. But you have to get to work, so what's the alternative? I guess all you can do is keep it to a minimum... only do it when it's 100% absolutely necessary.

Couldn't agree more... Adults who work 9-5 should be awake by 8 am on a Saturday.
A few weekends ago I wanted to have my leaves done before football started at 1, so I fired up my backpack as the sun came up. I want to say I was outside by 7 am. I was fully expecting to get beaten by my neighbors.
There was no chance I would be up before noon if I had to close (walk out the door at 3 am). But I also would not be awaken by stuff like leafblowers or snow blowers. Construction is a completely different story. In Philly, some of the developing neighborhoods where I have lived, I would have circular saws and laborers yelling to each other and fucking music blasting at 7 am and I lost it a couple of times. I dont think construction at 7 is right at all.

I’m in the industry, and while it sucks, there’s no better time for construction noise to occur than early morning to early afternoon. If effects the least amount of people and doesn’t disrupt schedules for kids which are exclusively during this time. If construction happened 3pm - midnight it would be horrendous for a greater number of people.
The snow plows come by at 4 or 5 AM, School buses at 6:30. Before we retired, our school day started before 8 and we had to be out the door by 7:30.
If I had to be out in the dark to punch out a path to get out, so be it.
Nobody complained. And around here the grass isn't dry enough to mow much before 9:30 or 10.
As a side note, my neighbor across the road is a retired vet with some medical issues, so I loaned him my back-up snowblower. The deal was he could use it as long as he needed as long as he waited until 7 to fire it up.
The guy is always up at 5am, ready to go. So I imagine he sits at the kitchen table, drumming his fingers and watching the seconds tick by until 7.
At least we get some peace..... now if I could kill my other neighbor's rooster, life would be good

Yeah, I'm also in a rural place - in Idaho. No roosters around though. And my neighbor is better than yours. He's the city guy who clears the streets with the plow. First thing he does every time there's snow is his driveway, then he comes over and does mine for me. Then the rest of the city.
I could care less when he does it - it only takes him about 2-3 minutes anyway and saves me the headache, especially since I have a long driveway (maybe 150 feet or so?) and a large parking area as well behind the house he does.
I thought about buying a snowblower when I moved here - glad I didn't.

Thats an extreme swing. Starting at 7 am as opposed to 9 is much more unreasonable. Its so that these idiots can get home before a certain time.

Nice! I just bought the Ariens Classic 24” yesterday, being delivered tomorrow. With the Ariens you had before, what did you typically do at the end of the season, run it out of gas or throw stabilizer in there? Just want to avoid any carburetor issues as I have never owned this brand of snow blower before. Thanks!
I guess my sarcasm went over a few of your heads. Â

No it isn’t. It’s generally done at these hours so it doesn’t interfere as much with traffic as well as the school systems. Most guys I work with get up and leave their house at 5/530 which has no impact on traffic.
9am would mean work is done at 5 as opposed to 3/330. Roads become worse both to and from work for everyone. And then if the project needs OT those hours become more difficult as well.
I get why you don’t like it but there is no alternative solution as far as timing goes. If there was a better time for it it would happen.
many construction sites have limited or no power and aren’t safe for night work even with temp lighting. Daylight is crucial and another reason why work starts at 7am.

I used to do that (run it dry and leave it like that for the summer) and then per the advice of the place I bought it from I no longer do that, instead they advise to run it dry and then add 1 quart of ethanol free gas and store it that way for the summer.
I did that the past few years and it started up much better the first time I used it the next year. In fact, it runs noticeably better on the ethanol free gas and if I lived in an area where I didn't use the snow blower 20 times a year (give or take) then I might consider using the ethanol free gas all the time to run it, but where I live it's too expensive.
Could you not run it in the morning? I think we live next to each other and I drank a shit ton of beer...can we hold off until around 2'ish tomorrow? Tanks Bruh
7am may be too late if you have to get kids to school. People living in snow environment should be reasonable enough to not be outraged if someone starts snow blowing at 6am. I've heard them go off at 5am - if you have to dig out, you have to dig out. It's not like you are doing it every morning
They better be saying their prayers and taking their vitamins too, bruther!

Similarly, I've had a neighbor who mowed (past tense) their lawn @ 8 am on a Sat or Sun... Walked outside & ripped him a new one, as it's my only time to get extra sleep. Its fucking rude.
I wish you were my neighbor. My town's noise ordinance is 8:01pm - 7:59am Monday - Saturday, 9:59am Sunday. I mow on Saturdays and I do it as soon as I'm legally allowed to do so. Sounds like we'd have weekly meetings in my front yard.
Exactly. If he was my neighbor I'd fire up the riding mower at 7am. And then for good measure I'd dump my grass clippings on his front porch. Establish dominance.
I'm crying over here after this devolved into this kind of back n forth. LMAO!
Btw, has any man ever actually called another man a "sissy boy" right to his face?
Good stuff guys.
Only the real hard core badasses:
Well. That escalated quickly. I mean, that really got out of hand!...
I saw that! Bur(n)t killed a guy. Did you throw a trident?
The guy said he was surprised, usually they last longer or are fixable.
The guy looks up my account and says if that's the same one you bought from us it was in April of 2004. We delivered i to xxx address, is that the same one? I said, yes, and was pretty embarrassed. No clue why I thought it was newer than that. He also said it was a lower end model (implying I didn't spend a ton on it).
I know it replaced a piece of shit Craftsman that I'm positive now only lasted two years b/c we moved into that house in 2002 and I lived in Boston in an apartment before that.
Anyway, not sorry to miller. And I'll snow blow any god damn time I want. LOL just kidding. I'm respectful of other people unless we have a compelling reason we need to get out. The plows make almost as much noise as the the snow blowers with the scraping and beeping when they back up.

You're in the wrong here. If you're that concerned about your own sleep, invest in ear plugs or move to the country. I shouldn't have to be re-route my weekend to-do list so my neighbor, who may or may not be sleeping, can continue to sleep past 8am. 8am is plenty fair.
Couldn't agree more... Adults who work 9-5 should be awake by 8 am on a Saturday.
A few weekends ago I wanted to have my leaves done before football started at 1, so I fired up my backpack as the sun came up. I want to say I was outside by 7 am. I was fully expecting to get beaten by my neighbors.
I’m in the industry, and while it sucks, there’s no better time for construction noise to occur than early morning to early afternoon. If effects the least amount of people and doesn’t disrupt schedules for kids which are exclusively during this time. If construction happened 3pm - midnight it would be horrendous for a greater number of people.
If I had to be out in the dark to punch out a path to get out, so be it.
Nobody complained. And around here the grass isn't dry enough to mow much before 9:30 or 10.
As a side note, my neighbor across the road is a retired vet with some medical issues, so I loaned him my back-up snowblower. The deal was he could use it as long as he needed as long as he waited until 7 to fire it up.
The guy is always up at 5am, ready to go. So I imagine he sits at the kitchen table, drumming his fingers and watching the seconds tick by until 7.
At least we get some peace..... now if I could kill my other neighbor's rooster, life would be good

Yeah, I'm also in a rural place - in Idaho. No roosters around though. And my neighbor is better than yours. He's the city guy who clears the streets with the plow. First thing he does every time there's snow is his driveway, then he comes over and does mine for me. Then the rest of the city.
I could care less when he does it - it only takes him about 2-3 minutes anyway and saves me the headache, especially since I have a long driveway (maybe 150 feet or so?) and a large parking area as well behind the house he does.
I thought about buying a snowblower when I moved here - glad I didn't.

There was no chance I would be up before noon if I had to close (walk out the door at 3 am). But I also would not be awaken by stuff like leafblowers or snow blowers. Construction is a completely different story. In Philly, some of the developing neighborhoods where I have lived, I would have circular saws and laborers yelling to each other and fucking music blasting at 7 am and I lost it a couple of times. I dont think construction at 7 is right at all.

Thats an extreme swing. Starting at 7 am as opposed to 9 is much more unreasonable. Its so that these idiots can get home before a certain time.

I'd egg your fucking house right after I took a shit in a paper bag, lit it on fire and left it on your front doorstep.
And you would be a fucking dead man.
Doubt it. You'd be too busy hosing off my shit on the bottom of your boots. I hope we're not neighbors. I'm taking a shit on your front porch. Then firing up the snowblower at 6am
Doubt all u want - You'd be my bitch sissy-boy.
Lots of testosterone; no action.

Nice! I just bought the Ariens Classic 24” yesterday, being delivered tomorrow. With the Ariens you had before, what did you typically do at the end of the season, run it out of gas or throw stabilizer in there? Just want to avoid any carburetor issues as I have never owned this brand of snow blower before. Thanks!

No it isn’t. It’s generally done at these hours so it doesn’t interfere as much with traffic as well as the school systems. Most guys I work with get up and leave their house at 5/530 which has no impact on traffic.
9am would mean work is done at 5 as opposed to 3/330. Roads become worse both to and from work for everyone. And then if the project needs OT those hours become more difficult as well.
I get why you don’t like it but there is no alternative solution as far as timing goes. If there was a better time for it it would happen.

blowers just got this bad boy. I retired my 14 (?) year old Ariens for a Deluxe 28 SHO. It was a little funny because I walked in to the shop and I told the guy I expected to get more than 8 years out of the Ariens I bought since everyone said they were the best in the business.
The guy said he was surprised, usually they last longer or are fixable.

I used to do that (run it dry and leave it like that for the summer) and then per the advice of the place I bought it from I no longer do that, instead they advise to run it dry and then add 1 quart of ethanol free gas and store it that way for the summer.
I did that the past few years and it started up much better the first time I used it the next year. In fact, it runs noticeably better on the ethanol free gas and if I lived in an area where I didn't use the snow blower 20 times a year (give or take) then I might consider using the ethanol free gas all the time to run it, but where I live it's too expensive.
If you expect it to be peace and quiet until 9am you’re in for a world of pain
