Someone has been grinding since seven this morning.

To all you DIYers. What machine sounds like a muffled jackhammer if you hear it from next door or two houses down? At first I thought they were lifting up tile, but now I'm not sure.

1. Watch the movie Fargo and see if the wood chipper sounds like that?

2. In our neighborhood

Someone was blasting rock/rap music starting at 7 a.m. We should round these people up and sit them in a dark, silent room for a few weeks at a time. Throw some bread and water in there to be humane, but they need to learn a lesson!

3. Down here they grind stumps of trees that have been cut down.

It's a noisy grinding sound.
But does not take several hours...

4. My sympathies.

My neighbor across the street had a stone facing put on his house, and then various other stone construction done.

For two consecutive summers.

Starting at 7 AM.

I was not amused.

(But the stone facing does look nice.)

6. Starting at 7 AM.

In many areas that is the earliest construction work can begin.

5. A couple of air powered tools sound like that

Could be a wrench someone is using in their garage.
