8am is acceptable IMO even if its Saturday. The sanding isn't every weekend, so he's just got his bunched up too tight. As neighbors, they should lighten up and move on with life. No one died today, its just an electric sander:rolleyes:. Many of you know, I am involve in residential construction. I knock on the neighbor's doors and leave a my card and inform with them so we can all to keep peace. I still get crap, notes, dirty looks, you name it. I just kill them with kindness but really like to burn their fooking house down. The classic one was an older guy spat on my window because we parked our cars on his side of the street because it was street cleaning day.

More like ex lax.

Its just nice to hear that you didn't blow up. Instead you smiled and moved on with life. Now you know who the ass holes are.

I'm guessing that sander is pretty fookin loud.

To be honest it is getting loud. It's going to drop a brush soon so it's vibrating more than normal.
But still, it's really not that bad.

I would say
 

If prior to 10am, then just keep the garage closed. Or until someone else is lawn mowing or has their kids out yelling and screaming.

But if you are bigger and badder than that other guy, I wouldn't worry about it! :D

9:AM. Do unto others...

It was tabs, wasn't it? Go on, you can tell us. :D

Is tabs a little girly man?

How loud can an electric sander be? I have a Dewalt palm sander that you probably can't hear from 10' away. If it were an loud whiny air sander along with a air compressor running constantly, then I might understand.

When it is placed on a body panel the decibels go up.

This kind of comment ends up with a thread being shut down. I thought we were all adults here.

I don't know who he was talking about. Shut it, I got my answer. Nothing till 9ish. Nothing after 9:30. Done.

I don't see 8 AM as a problem, but I'm a morning person. OTOH I have vowed not to be the first one within earshot of my house to start making racket on Sunday. I'm pretty safe until about 9, when the chainsaws and lawn mowers start up.

Are you trying to sand all the paint off of your car? there are faster, better, quieter ways to do it. Then a light sanding after, so the primer sticks better. Maybe your just doing it wrong and your neighbor wants to point it out!!

No no no, how do you say it in English - tabs street fighter, he mean focker, he out to get ya if you eat more than your share at the buffet.

No I was sanding bondo from a wide body job. It really wasn't much time with the sander. I'm hand sanding now.

I have the lawn mowing crews..... 7:00AM.... saturdays !!!

8:00 is great!!!

[QUOTE=scottmandue;8216759]I'm OK with 8AM, but then I'm a morning person... I would throw out the caveat that give it a little bit of a break on holidays... some guy broke out his leaf blower to dry off his truck early AM on Thanksgiving... not crack of dawn but I was all kicking back on the porch with a mug of coffee and sun was shining and birds were singing and I was all ahhhhh... then WRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
