Horrible night last night

please, dont go to the country if you want quiet. just had a neighbour move in last year, piss off every farmer in the area with noise complaints because our workday starts as early as 6am, and is now moving out. :/

LOL I have had that neighbor for 20 years ...

Jackass buys a hunk of land between 2 dairy farms [our properties suck up about 80 acres between Jackass, and about 10 other neighbors, and a whole bunch of unimproved land belonging to a couple of dairy farmers. We are actually surrounded by a lot of trees.] He regularly complains about the trailers hauled around by tractors full of bovine by-product that go pottering up and down the street when it is time to distribute it to the fields needing the euphamisticaly called 'green fertilizer'.

He complained about the sheep we had, and when Rob was out to sea for 6 months, and I didn't mow the tiny [20x60] patch of what could sort of be called lawn in front of the house [mainly because we don't really have a single word for collection of miscellaneous weeds] so he sicced the local shire reeve on me. When Rob got back I had him fence i the front yard and ran my sheep in there to mow my lawn and he about shit a rectangular red building object over that ...

If you don't want to deal with farmers and working farms, go buy a house in a suburb, not in a farm zone.

I lived rural for several years in an apt building that used to be a reservation school. it was stuck between 2 diary farms and the local airport.

the airport really did not create too much noise as the runways were blocked by trees. the farm equipment did not bother me all that much esp after living on the approach/departure flight lines of O'Hare airport (during rainy weather the furniture used to move and vibrate). also better than living right next to a major RR line and slow moving trains.

nice and quite most of the time except when one of the neighbors got a big bonfire party going. most of the time you could hear owls and monring doves, hawks brids, frogs and small mamuals.

as for the spreading of "green fredilizer" that was the ONLY downside esp during the summer. heck even in town every now and the the smell overpowers anything else and I am like 7 miles away.

go a little rural not deep country.
