Day 3 of him power washing house and driveway, until today I didnt know what it was, I thought he was drilling something it is really loud. Last two days was about 8 hours today at least 12 and he is still going!! Its 8:30pm here and my nerves are shot with the virus and being stuck inside listening to this.
I am hoping he is working late because he has to turn it in tomorrow.
Its a young guy early 30s alone now because wife and young son left him after he had affair with 18 yr old. Few months ago it looked like wife might be getting back with him and girlfriend gone but last 6 weeks no one. So maybe being alone gave him a bit too much time to think about how he screwed his life up.
Do I sound like a nosy neighbor? Lol...just a covid survivalist with nothing better to do. I mopped the floors yesterday what more do ya want?

(7,715 posts)Unless his driveway is REALLY long (1/4 mile or more), it should have taken him a day to do both the driveway and house, especially with an 8 hour day. That's why it's called a POWER washer.
I have an electric one and am still able to do large amounts of sidewalks, driveway, etc

That should keep him occupied for awhile so you can get some quiet.
Or get some ear plugs or turn up some music.

(23,351 posts)He's probably breaking some local ordinance about noise after a certain hour.
Okay, see on your profile you're in Southern Oregon. Still too late for him to be doing that Sh*t.
