[QUOTE=Ghanima] Oh and, WOW. What a piece of shit your neighbor has created. It looks like it will fall apart the first time it gets used. [/QUOTE] Good Lord! When he’s not running his studs sideways, he’s using 2X2’s. That is the boniest looking POS I’ve seen in a long time. ---

[QUOTE=flight] But that can’t be it. They thing has three electrical outlets and a switch box just on the exposed section of wall. I don’t imagine deer like the sound of a gas generator. My guess: he expects to have his house foreclosed on and is making alternate arrangements. [/QUOTE] And it has a flat roof, which will be a disaster when it rains. Hmmm, water + electric… She may not have to worry about her annoying neighbor much longer! ---

Looks to me like he’s building some sort of lunch wagon. Insert “badly” in front of “building”. “whore of Audubon” I don’t care who you are, that’s funny. I am so glad I have mostly decent neighbors. Then there’s the little girl down the street who screams at a pitch that will make dogs howl… ---

Okay, let me clarify. Metallica is too stupid to be taken seriuosly. It’s just a bunch of drum beats and guitar noises. NWA to me represents something. I liked their “Fuck tha Police” ditty because it made sense to me. YMMV. ---

If it is just noise, keep at the metal thing. If they scream to each other, though, record it (your camera or cell phone might do the trick). Then play it back at full volume. It didn’t stop my neighbours from screaming at each other every other night, but at least it saves me the pain of saying good morning to them every day 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/wanna-see-who-can-make-the-most-noise-ill-take-that-bet-motherfucker/406250.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/wanna-see-who-can-make-the-most-noise-ill-take-that-bet-motherfucker/406250.md?page=5)
