I can understand that construction workers have to start early so that they can finish earlier and beat the heat, and so on. I usually get woken from construction around 7am or a little earlier, which is generally when construction starts, I believe…

But recently, they seem to start earlier and earlier. This morning, we were woken up to trucks, banging and the sound of moving heaving equipment around. This was at 5:15 in the morning. The sun wasn’t even up. I am pretty sure that there are laws in HRM that should prevent this from happening, such as
BY-LAW NUMBER N-200, RESPECTING NOISE.

Is there anything that can be done about this? —Please, Can I Have Some More ZZZZ’s

  1. Okaay, so…you already know the exact by-law they’re violating, and you’re asking what should be done about it?

    DO YOU KNOW HOW TO USE A FUCKING PHONE BOOK

  2. have you ever heard one of those flagging trucks rumble by your window at 5 or 6 a.m., let me tell you o.p., they are fucking noisy.

  3. By asking for 4-5 years of experience, they are not demanding that from applicants. They are just wishing.

  4. Email your councilor. Chances are, someone asked for an exemption on the noise bylaw so that construction could be completed in a timely manner. Oh, and call the company, I heard that one company was putting people up in motels because they were disrupting people’s sleep.

  5. First you people scream for road construction to be done at night, then you complain when they actually do it. Make up your fucking minds J.Q. Public!
