Not sure where to begin but I’m near the end of my tether with my neighbours.
When she moved in (about 3 years ago) she gutted the place and renovated. But only from 7pm to 10-11pm Mon to Fri and on also on weekends (although she’d not start at the crack of dawn on a Sat+Sun, she’s start at 2 and carry on to 10-11pm). We had a 3yo at the time with 7:30pm bed time.
Complaints were largely ignored. I think she thought she was doing something about the noise, but in reality she wasn’t.
About 9-12 months later she’d finished. However she also has semi-regular screaming matches with her other half. These rarely take place during the day.
In October we’d had enough and started keeping a noise diary. Since then she’s/they’ve woken us 6 times in the last 7 weeks. This Saturday she was screaming at him from about 1:15am to 2:30-ish and then again around 3:30ish for another 20mins or so.
There was also a major, exceedingly drunken, screaming session in April/May where we were woken to the whole house shaking as she tried to beat down her front door (careful now) in the mistaken belief that her other half had locked her out (we even got an apology and box of chocs for that one).
All this from the head of “Latin and the Classics” at the local posh school…
