There were plenty of opportunities to complain about the 3:30 am wake ups as they started and moved their machinery and/or refueled with spotlights shining into our windows. We didn't like the 9 months of mining operations as they hauled out hundreds of loads of dirt from this land to somewhere else but we endured it. That all changed this weekend. As they work to prepare the sites and roads that they literally are building on top of our property lines, they are using large tamping rollers that compact the earth beneath them. Works great to make a road, but when they are 30 feet behind your house it causes the whole house to shake. The light fixtures, ductwork, windows, etc. just shake and there is one heck of a din that scares pets and adults alike. Its also doing wonders for our pools and decks and windows, many of us have cracks that have developed or seals that have broken. Yes, we knew we would have construction behind but none of us bargained for destruction of our precious homes. Suggestions on who to complain to? We have tried the Villages, Rainey and the City of Wildwood thus far.
