People here mow at 6am. Very rude IMO. 7am would be a lot nicer!

I probably wouldn't mow before 8 on a weekday or 9 on a weekend, even though I'm always up before then.

Yep, 8am weekday or 9am weekend is okay. Maybe if it's going to be seriously hot I'd forgive between 8am and 9am on a weekend.

depends on your local council laws. I know my council is not before 9am saturdays and 10am sundays. Check your council website they will have times allowed This post has been edited by YellowKittyGlenn: 28/12/2012, 07:19 PM
