Irritating Neighbour's Water Feature

Unless they think you are offering charity Steve R Right now I would kill to have nothing more than trickling water going on next door. What I actually do have is one group of builders constructing a garage over the road from us - they have the radio up full blast, and I was able to 'sing-a-long' with a full Catholic Mass last week (we're in Ireland), overlayed with high volume cussing and blinding á la builders everywhere. Made a nice accompaniment to my gardening efforts! At the same time, a house is being built in the field next to my bedroom by another neighbour, who keeps his council-owned JCB on the site, and starts it up every morning - this morning at 6.45 - to drive it off to work, then comes back around 6 pm to work on his own house - sometimes until 11.45 at night! Complain? Not blinkin' likely - the same neighbour didn't say a word during the time we had 4 cockerels last year, and has never once complained about our 4 dogs and their occasional barking fits. (I can understand why they haven't complained about poo from our 3 cats, too - cos their 'garden' is full of cows, and any contribution the kitties make is somewhat overwhelmed!) I hope this state of harmony continues when I install a water feature sometime next year! Believe me, at 6.45 this morning, I was considering a mini-Niagra, surrounded by wind-chimes, but I'll probably settle for something small, and quiet! I just keep telling myself 'this too shall pass'! Jo --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
