Theres been two blokes here this week building terrace walls and layering the garden next door

Nothing strange with that you may think, but they seem to be starting about 7 at night and finishing at about 3 - 4 in the morning.

Is there a law against that in Spain, the other neighbour seems to think there is and is threatening to go and chin them both.

Dont be awful.......its too hot to work through the day!

I think its 7am to be able to start for outdoor workers.

Permitted hours are (technically) 8.00 - 22.00.

There are lots of girls who work at night, as well. They often lean against the walls that the fellas are building

Same Difference

I think they bring it forward an hour in the summer so they can finish early because of the heat.

They've been reading the TIME, Gentlemen, please threads and have decided to avoid the sun altogether!!

Are they singing, cos there is a music off at twelve law.

Hillybilly

If you want the letter of the law it's Articulo 22.1, Ordenanza Municipal de Proteccion del Medio Ambiente and says that noise from construction works, public or private, cannot be emitted between the hours of 22.00 and 08.00.

Hows the wall coming along keep us posted Heres a pic I took of the day shift working. Maybe the night shift should use a torch

If I remember right there was a strike last summer in Andalucia because the construction employers would not honour a new agreement on summer working hours. That was just one working period from I think 07.00 until 14.00 with no restart in the afternoon. This was to apply from end May until end of September. This was to avoid the worst heat.

Perhaps these guys are doing a foreigner in the evenings. How do they keep awake?

Mitzyboy

No, theyre not singing and they aint wearing short skirts, theyre just throwing rocks around

Beachcomber

So they have just been throwing their rocks around not getting them off??

If we have pics we might as well have the music.
