My neighbor launched a lawsuit naming me and my association as defendants, the suit is based on noise from my garage. This is a condo/Townhome and we are attached. The short story is she hired the biggest law firm who enlisted a sound specialist to study the noise. This was a huge dog and pony show in there there sound specialist had recorded 3 weeks of sounds, in short my garage is now off limits to anything but parking. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) I suspect she put out between 5 and 7 thousand dollars to whip this together.
P.S. Its not over till the fat lady sings, however I wont spend a cent on lawyers.. The noises that made the cut were all from making parts, cutting, grinding and hammering. I'll just have to make the parts somewhere else, however I wont stop tinkering and didn't spend a cent. This brat is gearing up to do a sound study based on household noise, she says we wake her up every night, so I suspect there will be a round two.. I would guess its going to be a much harder sell for her to get traction with this issue.. I hate condos x infinity but its made me 500K in the last 10 years but will be replaced by a farmhouse home in Washington state some time soon.. |

you live in a townhome and I hate to say it but you are probably out of line grinding and cutting on a regular basis, as much as it sucks. One weekend here or there you could get away with maaaaayyyybe.
Be repectful of your neighbors and behave as if you are cooking meth. No one knows no one cares. If you break out the paint gun or grinder with the garage door open you will have problems and kinda rightly so. Just be sure to warm your car properly whenever you drive it. They can't say shit about that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
