Help with Fireworks

[bladestorm]

Hello, does anyone have any good ideas on how to stop my new neighbor from shooting of Fireworks till 4:00 a.m. every day?

Thanks

you could always go to the authorities.

What did he say when you talked to him about it. He may not know it really bothers you.

[bladestorm]

I havent said anything to him yet. It doesent really bother me, but it upsets my dogs. For some reason they hate loud noises, and start to shake pretty badly when they hear it. You should see them when it starts to thunder!

I suggest that you develop bigger fireworks, and more of them. The neighbor will respond by doing the same, and then you'll have to develop bigger fireworks to match him. You'll end up with sort of a competition going, a "fireworks race" you might say. Eventually you'll both have such large stockpiles and such powerful fireworks that neither of you will be willing to use them, and you'll have peace and quiet. An unstable peace and quiet, but peace and quiet nonetheless. Eventually, you'll want to start having meetings in a neutral place like another neighbor's yard to discuss limiting or even reducing your strategic fireworks stockpiles, but you won't need to worry about that for a while.

I am afraid if it upsets your dogs, it is enough to bother you. Your dogs should not have to be tortured to 4:00 AM with a nieghbor who probably does not even know why we choose to celebrate America'a birthday on the fourth of July, but just loves those loud noises. I like to think I am as patriotic as the next American, but if my fireworks bother my neighbor (I do not use them), I need to rethink how I celebrate this holiday. Hope he understands your predicament.

while your neighbor is away, you could go setup a bomb near his house.. and at 4am when he starts shooting off fireworks you activate the bomb with a remote control.. boooom, his house goes up in flames.. when the cops come, everyone will say "well he was shooting off fireworks, i think he was drunk. this looks like a case of arson to me"..

man in jail for arson, house burned down.. but most importantly, calm dogs.

@sterno,
I liked your idea the best,sort of like detente or MAD.Of course bladestorm could train his dogs to attack at the scent of gunpowder.

Ok here is what you need. An old fasion metal trash can, a butt load of fireworks and a match... approach his doorstep at 5am and... I'll leave the rest to you.

I had a friend of mine make a bomb out of fireworks. I won't go into the details of it here, but it blew a hole in the side of an ex-girlfriend's house. $40,000 worth of damage. He now out on bail, but he's facing 2-25 yrs. Not totally on topic, but not too far off either.

HA! He finally got fined by the city last night for what I assume was noise ordnance. Apparently some of his fireworks had launced themselfs next to another neighbors window then blew up while they were sleeping.

Justice has been served (for once).

Shoot, I was going to suggest that you make a pre-emtive strike on the assumption that he had weapons of mass destruction (doesn't it take a nuclear reaction to destroy mass?).

Then the city would have bagged two people for disobeying the noise ordnance.

But you never know, he may have had a secret AFD (Anti Fireworks Defense) system running. And then he would have the UN's permission to blast you to oblivion..
