But what about the people living next door to the client when you rock up with your unimog and chainsaws to take a tree out yards from their front room with their family round for dinner? What choice do they have? To sit there and spend time with their relatives while you rattle their windows all day?

 

Its selfishness, fook everyone else, as long as my needs are met.

Really?

 

How often will it happen? once every 5 year, maybe longer.  I'm not sure I'd be the selfish one in this situation.

 

I think some people need to get a life.

On a slightly different tack, I ran a rebuilt 560xp today, I thought it was getting a bit smoky so opened the door to let it out, the old dear was going to phone the fire brigade as thought the shed was on fire,oops.

My workshop has neighbours close by if i do some milling i try and keep it to weekdays or i will get complaints big time.

When I worked in my tiny workshop in my garden I would always leave it till 10am on a week day before I started up my saws and never on a sunday but I have older unwell next door but back when I was 18 ish we lived just down the road from 2 churches effing every sunday morning woken up by the bloody bells so is that an issue ,I am not into church nor are a lot of people so where do you draw a line noise is noise we have people down the lane from us and most sundays they cut fire wood for themself dont bother me  I think if you want or need to work on a sunday fine if the job is near houses a quick door knock on say the weekend before to let people know and get their heads round it is good PR .

Or take your family out for a walk, followed by a big dinner, turn the phone off and watch a film in the afternoon with a bit too much wine.

 

If you have to work Sunday (apart from emergencies and highway) you’re crap at business.

The perfect Sunday!

Pretty much today, but did service the chipper and take the twins swimming first.

Rugby instead of film, and big dinner and a bit too much wine still to come!

Lie Inn for me this morning then family out for lunch nice afternoon nap then I went to yard and got ready for tomorrow [emoji4]

Lie in til 10 this morning. Then out to the Estate to do a shift at Milling and a raid up.

The missus does not work so I’ll take my day of rest when it suits me.

I try not to ‘work’ work on Sundays, but I kind of like a bit of yard work, servicing, log/chip deliveries or such like in the morning, stuff I can usually involve the kids with.

 

Big dog walk with the family, then after a shower feel justified in having the boozy dream that Mick described.

 

Some pretty good arguments either side, just do what’s best for you and try and be considerate of others.

Worked this afternoon. Right messy fir tree, 3 foot + at the stump, felled by somebody else and needs removing. Bit of a project, made a start....a local auld fella drove by, as he does, and stopped to chat. I said " Is to ok to make noise on a Sunday? Some people don't like it..." He just laughed.
