Many years ago had a neighbor who mowed his lawn at 630 on Saturday morning. Right next to my bedroom window. Asked him to stop so he then went to 6 am. I went and bought some rough cut oak and set up my planer outside right next to his living room where his TV stood. Waited till he started watching a show and started my planer...it was loud. Did that every evening till I ran out of oak probably 10 days worth. He quit mowing his lawn.
