lawyers/neighbor/noise/Townhome associations, Baned from all auto activity Options

[drive-ability]

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..

my neighbors were leaning on me until the main complainer's car died (mysteriously) then the noisy neighbor came to the rescue. I had already saved several other neighbors from expensive auto repairs. the other complainer had fish oil permeate the concrete in front of her door. after 4-5 attempts of odor eradication, she had to move. Gee, how did that happen? I now have more allies then enemies and if noise gets too rough, they come over in person. the law 'round here says under 92 db@ x ft from 7am to 10 pm is OK. make her pay but stay within the letter of the law. there are many things that will make her stay there less pleasant without exposing you to legal liability. engaging my compressor at 7:01 every day for a month ($5 timer) was well within the allowed DB range and adjacent to her window
