My, Phil, you and I certainly came at it from different directions 
Whatever it takes to make the point Bill.
Bud of mine has a nice shop at his house, end of the farm 5 acres. He went to the Town and got all the unnecessary Permits, just to protect himself. Next farm over grew new Yuppie houses that people seem to get tossed out of cause they can't pay the banker.
Don can pound till 11pm according to the Town. Neighbors in the overpriced hovels love calling 911 about the noise and vibration from the power hammer. He has 3 power hammers, and a few friends who stop by to make sure all 3 are running.
Those puppies can make ripples in a glass of water beyond Don's property line.
Digital timer shuts the hammers down at exactly 10:59 pm.
Sometimes you make your point the hard way. You never let the weenies tell you how to run an anvil though.
