Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : About 5 years ago I got a new job that paid a lot better and moved into a neighborhood where the houses are rather far apart, I’d say probly about 100 meters or so. Most people use that space for outbuildings like garages, storage, pool house, etc so it’s not uncommon to have buildings on your property that are close to somebody else’s house. I used this new found space to build a little auto shop to be able to work on cars, mostly just a series of passion projects but I have been trying to get into detailing and repair business. Because of this I usually have approx 4-6 cars on the property, some are total junkers and are used mostly for parts and some are functioning. I only really have time to work on my days off (the weekend) and tend to keep to the standard 9-5 hours when doing work on the cars because I acknowledge it can be pretty loud and noise travels pretty easily where I live. About 6 months ago a new family moved into the house next door, to give some perspective I can see their front door from my garage but it’s still rather far. Since then I’ve had a deputy sheriff at my house 3 times to talk to me about my, “unacceptable level of noise” as well as an official HOA letter about their complaints, I know it’s them because the deputy had come from their house prior to mine. They’ve never talked to me about it in person or voiced any opinions to me, I feel like all this is very passive aggressive. Would I be the asshole if I kept ignoring them and doing what I’ve been doing?
