EARLYBIRDS and there lawn mowing

Posted in: Shepherd
Okay, I have an ongoing problem EVERY lawn mowing season. It appears some of our neighbors are very disrespectful when it comes to lawn mowing, especially on weekends when people who have worked all week would like to sleep in. But some people start mowing at 7:30 AM and sometimes 6:30am (no joke!) I understand that with our heat that people like to get it done earlier. I myself prefer mowing in the evening, but with 100+ temps even then it is too hot and morning is better. HOWEVER, 7:30 is way too EARLY!!!! Is it wrong for me to think they could have respect and common decency and not start before 8am AT LEAST? I mean come on people.
I figure these people must get up early and go to bet early- well for those of you having same problem as I, here is what we can do: Since they probably go to bed early, I say mow right before dark..Let them know what it feels like to have sleep disturbed..I like doing this on week nights!
Because the law of disturbing peace is between
10 pm and 6am, noone, not even the early mowers are breaking any laws. I say give them a taste of there own medicine...let dogs bark, play radio work on lawn, start motorcycles, loud trucks or car(just to make sure they are running good!! ;-) whatever you want until 10pm. No it probably will not change anything, but it certainly feels better knowing at least they know how bad it sucks to have sleep interrupted( at least for me anyway)!!!
I have about 3-4 close neighbors who do this on regular basis. This has been going on for YEARS and when I fould out that I could do nothing about it ( I tried to call city and complain) I decided if I can't beat them JOIN them!!!
OOPS typo...

oops!!! I meant
Early birds and THEIR (not THERE) lawn mowing
