How early is too early to mow the lawn???

[OCNORB]

I have been up since 5:00 A.M. and I need to get the lawn mowed today. Is 7:00 too early to fire up the old Briggs and Stratton???? Is there any noise ordinance in the county that covers this?? Anybody know?

From the Salt Lake County noise ordinance, prohibited:

8.8 Domestic Power Equipment. Operating or permitting the operation of any power equipment rated 5 horsepower or less in residential or commercial zones, including, but not limited to, power saw, sander, lawn mower, garden equipment, or snow removal equipment for home or building repair or ground maintenance:

outdoors between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.; or
any such power equipment that emits a sound pressure level in excess of
8.9 Commercial Power Equipment. Operating or permitting the operation of any power equipment rated more than 5 horsepower, including but not limited to, chain saws, pavement breaker, log chippers, powered hand tools, except equipment used for construction activities:

in residential or commercial land use districts between the hours of 10 pm. and 7 a.m.; or

So you have to wait till 7

I think if I heard a lawnmower at 7am I'd be looking for the rock salt.

I usually feel the same, but there has been construction crews working in my neighborhood non-stop since I moved here.(Next to the last vacant lot left in this area)

Anyway I gotter' done.. and nobody shot at me!

ahhh yes, construction. Since this neighborhood has been finished, the mornings have been serene.

Mow on, in that case LOL

unless your lawn mower is louder than most chain saws I would say "mow on". I can sleep through most mowers, most cases I sleep better cuz it drowns out the darn barking dogs in the neighborhood. Wish there was a barking dog violation or something.... I just get the itch to hear a shotgun boom when they start barking at 0500 .

Unfortunatly the death penalty is not allowed, but there are actions you can take.
