It is so awesome that you are using an electric saw and a drill and hammering shit outside my bedroom window at 7am on a Saturday. Keep up the great work! You are my favourite person ever! —zzz

Those Fraggle Rock Doozers are busy bunch……..
OB, what were you doing still in bed at 7 on a glorious Saturday morning? I’d been up for two hours by then, ran five miles, had breakfast, got the groceries, mowed the entire lawn with a whipper snipper and blew the grass onto my neighbours lawn with my extra loud motorized leaf blower.
Just kidding! I hate those pious, early riser, busy beaver, yard-noise-making bastards just as much as you do, OB.
I mow my grass every Saturday morning bright and early. I could do it anytime but Saturday morning is my lawns time.
And why would anyone do drugs when they could mow a lawn?
bylaw says 8am
http://www.halifax.ca/legislation/bylaws/h…
8. The operation in the outdoors of any power tool for
domestic purposes other than snow removal;
“On a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday until seven o’clock in the forenoon (7:00
a.m.) and after nine thirty o’clock in the afternoon (9:30 p.m.). On a Saturday until eight o’clock in
the forenoon (8:00 a.m.) and after seven o’clock in the afternoon (7:00 p.m.). On a Sunday,
Statutory Holiday or Remembrance Day until nine o’clock in the forenoon (9:00 a.m.) and after
seven o’clock in the afternoon (7:00 p.m.).”
Any person who violates any section of this By-law is guilty of an offence and shall, on
summary conviction be liable to a fine not less than one hundred and twenty-five dollars ($125.00) and
of not more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) or imprisonment for a period of not more than one
year or both, including the imposition of a minimum fine.
Make em PAY
Holy shit, the possibility of 1 year in prison and a $10,000.00 fine for waking me up early on a weekend? This is truly a great province. I mean, I would never make that big a deal out of it by getting city officials involved … nor do I think any judge would ever impose such a stiff penalty. But still, just to know that it’s even possible, in writing. That’s just fantastic.
