    Looks like just loose grass blown on the path, nothing to be alarmed about, get a broom and sweep it to one side, or just let the wind blow it away.

    Seriously if that grass on your driveway is enough to trigger your anxieties and your medication is also messing with your sleep patterns you need to go back to your doctor/specialist and get your plan/script adjusted. If you have no luck get a referral to somewhere else.

    Not a piss take

    Then go sweep it. You can find the time to walk out and take a photo then post it on the internet while conjuring conspiracy theories about your neighbour's intention but can't clean up?

    Would you like your grown son living in your house and not being able to rely on him to keep the yard tidy?

    One thing that may be an issue is not noise but fumes from resin. We are all inured to it but most people will find it quite offensive and evening cooler temps will only exacerbate it as there is usually very little air movement to dissipate it. It's always a juggle doing this sort of work in a suburban area.

    Yeah i think your right Digs the neighbor may be able to smell the acetone that stinks but the resin is quiet dull on the smell i just walked out the back door and could smell the acetone boat is about 7 meters away i may have tranfered some fumes to the door handle from my hands tho

    But what can u really do about fumes?

    do it mid morning when they are likely to be out or dropping kids off and most of the smell is gone by mid afternoon and well before dinner

    light up a few citronella candles might help mask the smell... the neighbor is probabaly concerned with the smell i reckon. may be looking to see dust flying around as well ,might have to rig up a tarp shed over the boat

    Yeah i have been vacuuming the dust but think i need to rig up that big dust extractor i bought at the old house and connect it to the new air sander thats coming, once im back inside the hull i can leave the tarp on and just lift up part of the opposite side to the neighbors complaining if i have to i can buy a big vent fan and a smell filter and run that to remove any resin and acetone smells but it wont be practical at the moment with a open transom

    Deadset.

    This 148 page thesis is full of blokes offering you useful advice on your rebuild. You ignore most of it. I offer you advice on PPE, you call me a racist. Matt offers you advice on getting a medication review. You call him a four letter word beginning with C. Steve gives you suggestions on how to avoid getting done for illegal dumping. You decide to block him.

    WTF?
