Nothing says "Good morning" like a chainsaw

I've found something that is more annoying to wake up to than the dog scratching desperately at my bedroom door (even when the rest of the family is awake and moving around the house).

To start, my bedroom is right next to our next door neighbor's house. Their flood light lights up my whole window when something walks up their driveway at night. Even if it is a cat, which there are tons of in this neighborhood, mostly wild.

This morning, I was woken up by a large truck right next to the window, men shouting and using tree trimmers and chainsaws. When I woke up, some of them were in our backyard as well, meaning I couldn't let the dog out, because I'd get in trouble if the dog went after them. Argh.
