Concrete , not cement .....
I'm a little confused? (And I have a fat head) What is it you want your neighbor to do? If he needs a jackhammer to complete construction/destruction it's kind of hard to be quiet
I would think if he is operating during acceptable hours you are kind of "stuck" until he finishes
I'm having a hard time visualizing someone with a jackhammer just making noise for no reason
Jackhammers are around US500 a week so I expect it can't go on forever.
That's more than his property is worth.
This guy lives in the 3rd floor of an old abdoned building and he has turned this into a never ending re construction..
He has a cement mixer , concrete saws, Compresors for air tools like the Pneumatic power chisel and needle gun.
He even has an electric crane on the 3rd floor with a beam to hoist buckets of cement like a kid would do from his fort in a barn.
This is next to Blue Byou and the Water Front and these places get demolished and then the rats run somewhere else.
The guy smokes about 100 cigarettes per day and when you add that to breathing all the cement dust we will see how long this lasts....he does wear ear protectors however.
If you saw this ( property ) you would say it should be demolished.
He is one person making too much noise where many live and it won't be tolerated much longer.
This is a nice part of town which was quiet and the locals and developers will also end this noise
Ear Protection? You sure he's not an American?
A third floor crane? That's how they build sky scrapers. You should find out what he's building.
Do you ever talk to him?
He's a German and ther is no talking to him and the third story crane is a small I beam with an electric winch.
I have lived next door for 8 years and he has been working on this property on and off for all of this time and the place still looks terrible.
The noise has only been going on for a few months

I'm not condoning this guy bothering you, just find it hard to understand "Unnecessary" jackhammer work, as Chip said it is very expensive
(( Maybe sabotage his equipment during the night. Hmmmmmmm :laugh: ))
