Oh, for fuck's sake.

The downstairs apartment is being remodeled. The kitchen is being torn apart and power drills are whirring and things are getting hammered and slammed and pulled down and stuff.

At 7:30 in the goddamn morning. On a Sunday.

Seriously, people. What the fuck?

I thought the noise law said no such work before 8 am, but I could be wrong.

Section 9-116 of the Somerville City Ordinances:
(4) Domestic power tools. Operating or permitting the operation of any mechanically powered saw, sander, drill, grinder, lawn or garden tool, or similar device used outdoors in residential areas between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. on weekdays, or between 9:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. on Saturdays, Sundays, and state and federal holidays so as to cause a noise disturbance.

Hmm, that says "outdoors". Maybe there's no law about indoor work?

Operating or permitting the operation of any ... grinder ...

What if it's 10:00pm but you're really hungry? :o\

Then you'll just have to forego the mechanically powered one and manage with a manually operated variety of grinder instead.
