Best time to knock on neighbours door??

[matticus]

And if it is a minor issue wait a year or so......

We've let it go about 3 years. Its the sort of thing that gets out of hand over time!

Considering my selfish neighbour was jet washing his car at 8.15am this morning I would happily knock on his door at 2.00am

About half an hour after lights out should find them in a communicative mood.

Nice to see you back!

If in 3 years you never took the time to approach your neighbours in a friendly manner to discuss the matter, you can wait another few months imo.
Politeness goes a long way, especially if they are not aware of the issue.
If they are aware and you never mentioned it in all these years, they might think you don't bother.

Their house is behind ours. We only see them in winter when they leave the lights on and curtains open!

Incidentally, Court of CycleChat, why aren't THEY to blame for the lack of niceties , eh? Eh?!

Think thats quite common with back to back gardens unless theirs a section of boundary low enough to talk over.

I'm not familiar with those kind of houses, but if the back gardens are back to back you must see each other in summer while cutting the grass, etc .... eh? eh?? @matticus
'cmon, 3 years, no chance for an "ah, the weather is pants this weekend"?
I know most folk on my street, have been living here 18 years.
If someone new moves in I always say hi, if they move in very near me I introduce myself, my cat and even my garden
What is this problem that needs solved immediately now, after 3 years?
I stand with my opinion, never mind knocking at their door, get to know them first
