    The guys doing up a house. unless he is making noise at 2am in the morning I think noise and pollution wouldnt give an interest. Afterall most people are at work during working hours.

    Unless you're planning on moving it's worth making an effort, talk to the guy explain how his actions cause you problems and ask if he can suggest alternatives

    I think burning furniture is inconsiderate.It should be skipped.Is he burning as a private individual or is he burning as a business,there may be a difference.

    Yus, he sounds like a decent sort of chappy. Totally unconcerned for anyone else like most builders and doesn't give two sh'tes for no one, with only two brain cells to rub together. What a wonderful bloke.

    Or maybe he is doing his job to the best of his ability and unfortunately isnt a genius to find a cost effective way of disposing of rubbish in a fire without some smoke.....

    Pathetic post.

    indeed. I was just have a polite word and ask them to come and jet wash everything down afterwards. When we had our walls repointed many a year a go our builder went and cleaned up mess that got into next doors and when they had there's done there builder did the same.

    Why oh why would you take the time and trouble to post this rubbish?

    Please go and get yourself a life and not live on the internet without any human contact.

    I do not think there is anything you can do as the builder bought the land and house. Just a case of having to put up.

    How about this .... a pair of semi's not very far from me. The builder bought the one on the corner of the road and took it down brick by brick...leaving half a semi? then he built 5 flats which are now glued to the half a semi. So thank your lucky stars it is just dust.
    If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
    Spring begins on 21st March.
