stoffle …. if an idiot buys a house with a room above a neighbours garage then what do they expect ?

No; the workshop is quit recent (it’s a shared basement area). But they were fine about me sorting it out (and all the other free jobs i’ve done for them), and I did warn them there would be a bit of noise. My wife can’t stand the woman, and has freely admitted she (my wife) must have accidentaly let the cat into the hallway (whereupon it then couldn’t get out and subsequently shat in the pram). But these are petty trifles. It’ll blow over.

rents to a Kosovan family. Well they say they are. They are Gypsies.

Another classic comment from STW’s resident Balkan ethnographer.

stoffle. Have you considered sound insulating the workshop? Rockwool have good soundproofing board (so my drum playing mates tell me).

Also no-one will be able to hear the screams if things escalate 😈 😯
