Tonight. I live in a cottage flat sometimes known as a four in a block. At 7.30pm my neighbours through the wall decided to start using an electric drill and a hammer on the party wall. They are around the same ages as Mr Owl and myself and have two children around 11 and 13. I would love to know when they’ve had all day why now?

We call that a 4-plex over here!

Very frustrating for you. Maybe they're putting up a picture they bought today?!

Maybe the parents were locking the kids in their rooms they'd just had enough of them after all they're teenagers or near enough....

They were drilling and hammering for an hour. It’s not the children we hear it’s the dog. These flats have two bedrooms, a sitting room, kitchen and bathroom. In our neighbours flat are two adults, two teenagers or near enough, two cats and a black Labrador. Maybe they were building themselves somewhere to hide from the chaos.

Thoughtful of them to give you something to moan about - so not all bad :-D

Can't Mr Owl fly round and have a word or does he not give a hoot?

Maybe they spent the first part of the day argueing (aka planning!) over where they were going to site the huge tv that needed the brackets etc drilled and hammered into the wall?

It could have been day long “discussions” over where to put a tv. Last night was quiet at least.
