Guy over the road messing with motorbike all day

Anyway, I'm about to go out and start cutting slabs with an angle grinder, so you'd hate me too :D

Haha, this sort of thing doesn't bother me.

It's home improvement stuff, I'm happy people want to make their property better. And it's not likely to be an everyday thing.

Pointless dicking with a crappy bike because sad waster has nothing better to do, on the other hand...
 
I used to have a neighbor across the road in my home town who would listen to his voicemail each week at volume 300 sitting in his Mondeo with the door open. Not sure what that was about.

Seriously, you have no idea. Sure he leaves it idling, but then he'll be roaring up and down the road for ages. Then he'll be revving it. Then he'll have a load of ******* mates out there yelling and whooping helping him. Then they'll start revving their engines. Seriously, this goes on all day. If you think this is acceptable behaviour, you deserve someone like him opposite you too.

In fairness, you haven't exactly annotated the problem well across various posts if the above is the issue/ done most weekdays.

I do have loud motorbikes/cars driving past my house, but I live on a busy road (fortunately my office is at the back of thr house). I'm paying extra for acoustic glazing to the house but honestly I'm kind of used to the noise/doesn't impact work.

If you can't move your office room or get over it I honestly think the only thing you could do is move house? Alternatively start working from the office if this is impacting your job?

Anyone know how I can find out who is the landlord? Information seems hard to come by.

Does your local council have a portal/website or something? You must be able to glean something from that. Maybe just get in touch with them. Or failing that ring round some of the local letting agents? I'm sure they'd know. Or you could just Google the address, look on Right Move etc. for historical house prices, sometimes it links you back to the original posting for rent/sale etc. and that might have the agents banner on.

Of course he is, but it comes back to being a good neighbour or not. Likely the guy isn't breaking any laws but it doesn't mean he has the right to disturb the OP in his own home every day of the week.

the OP has to vent on the internet as the "little work dodger" would own him if he gobbed off.
does the OP own a corner sofa maybe position it on the other side of the living room.

:D:D:D

:cry:

I'll transcribe some of the other comments:
OP is cross at disabled neighbour enjoying a hobby whilst he has to slave away at work.

He's a skinny little scrote, so I can assure you he doesn't intimidate me ;)

ignore the faux alphas. the fact you've already spoken with the chap about it puts you several rungs up the 'man ladder' than most on here. in fact i'll quote myself again here as it also covers most of the 'big fella' posters.

They wouldn’t. But because it’s someone else they get to poke fun and pretend it wouldn’t bother them when in reality they’d be crying into their cornflakes and taking their unspent anger out on their partner or children.

Spoken to him three times now. Every time he's just said "Yer mate, will keep it as quiet as I can". But carries on regardless. Like talking to a brick wall.

So, it's the reasons behind why noise is being made, rather than the noise itself.

You know what to do:

Get a motorbike
Crash bike and break both arms
Go on the sick
Mess about with motorbikes and be noisy, happy in the knowledge you have no WFH to do.

Of course any loud continuous noise is irritating. I'm just saying people doing what they need to do to maintain their home is to be tolerated.

I think you're being difficult deliberately here ;) You know exactly what I mean.

In case this hasn't already been suggested (I didn't read the entire thread), buy a pair of ear defenders of the type you'd use if you worked with power tools all day. Obviously they aren't going to help for all types of home working, but if you just sit at home on a laptop, then they'll be great.
