Look, if you live somewhere that the sun makes you regret existence (read: everywhere in 10 years), yard work is getting done in the morning, car work is getting done in the evening.

You don’t have any yardwork or car problems to deal with, so whatever the hell you want, I presume.

Except sleep without earplugs, I guess that’s out.

Look, if you can afford a yard, then you can afford a landscaping service.

Meanwhile, my wife keeps asking if it would be rude to mow the lawn at 7AM on a Saturday. With the electric mower.

Modern electric mowers are actually very quiet, they’re not your parents electric mower that’s for sure lol

Mine is so quiet not only do I not need to worry about ear protection, you can’t even hear it from inside my own house so def none of the neighbors will be able to hear it either lol

What lawn mower do you have that is that quiet??? I have a Ryobi electric push mower that I bought last year and while it’s way quieter than a gas mower I would feel incredibly rude using it early in the morning.

And noise is different depending on time of day. Ambient noise is a lot lower in off-hours, so your mower would sound louder than it does during the day.

Our neighbors decided that it would be a very great idea to start split and saw 350 ft³ of wood at 6am on Saturday morning, until 11am.

Get out of town, into a rural area they said. It’s much quieter they said. That and the street that runs in front of our house…

Hahaha welcome to rural living for sure! Ive had a couple early camping mornings because I didn’t know how close the loggers would be. It’s nice to get started on chores earlier as you can, but I do try to be mindful of gas tools before 8.

One of my neighbors must be invested in a couple different ammunition companies and trying to inflate their stock the way they shoot. All day Sunday sometimes.

Trade offs for living in the woods.

Literally on my drive home today. Dude was angry that I was actually going 25 mph outside the school, where busses were loading children and sped around me doing like 50 at the first opportunity.

Then he literally stopped at the next red light, saw I was right behind him, and just ran the red light because his tiny, fragile ego could not handle the fact that he was a grown ass man acting like a petulant child. Which obviously means he needs to break the law more.

I assume he had shit himself because I cannot imagine any other reason for a grown ass man to behave like this.

My neighbor used a leaf blower to dry his car after washing it at 7am on a Saturday. I don’t know that I will ever be able to like that man after this.

Oh my.
A chamois is going to give a MUCH better finish, is silent and costs pocket change.

I do the final rinse with distilled water. No towels ever touch my paint.

There is no mention of lawns in the post. Is this maybe supposed to be a response in one of the comment threads?

Yeah I’m up at 3-4 am every day so I’m waiting for our local ordinance to say it’s okay before I’m being loud. We have quiet hours 10p -7a. There are definitely people who make noise during the quiet hours though. I’m m in the US but I couldn’t care less about my lawn though. Probably some of my neighbors wish I did.
