5 Years of DIY? blimey I could have built the house in that time.

And banging or drilling at 10pm I'd be banging on your sodden door.

I was going to reply along similar lines, but he said on and off

I've suffered from noisy (new) neighbours recently

they work in a restaurant and are very noisy from just after 1 am when
they get in to about 3 - 4 am (my wife gets up at 4:30)

Having asked them to be a bit quieter and being ignored, I resorted to
hooking up a stereo with the speakers stuck against the wall. I
connected it up to the PC and played

We suffered a noisy neighbour for many weeks when we first got married and
moved to our first house. The flats where along the landing from each
other, so made two of the rooms back up against each other in the layout.

Our bedroom was right next to the room they were using as a living room, and
they had music playing very loud nearly every night. This was loud to the
point of being heard clearly two floors below in the tenement, so you'll
know how loud it was.

Three weeks of asking them to keep it down, at least after 10pm at night,
went unheeded, and I eventually flipped and licked their door down, stormed
in to the room where they were sitting, and threw their record player
through the window into the back garden. I followed this with holding the
guy out the broken window as well, until he told me truthfully that he
wouldn't do it again.

But this isn't a nice feeling to have with your neighbours.
