Dear neighboring business,
I hate you. You decided to hire someone with heavy machinery to come and clean snow out of and scrape down your parking lot. At four in the morning. When your business is located across the street from an apartment building. The scraping and motor are loud. The beeping sound that the truck makes when it backs up sounds a lot like a wake-up alarm. They spend a lot of time backing up. So far they've been going at clearing the lot for the last hour.
I have to go to work in the morning, thanks for waking me up four hours early.
This isn't the first time they've woken me up with this either. Would it be so hard to park on the street and have them clean during the day, have them come after business hours, during the day on a weekend, something else? Even four in the morning on a weekend night would be better since I work M-F, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't wake up neighbors who work on weekends.

Where I live construction and the like can start at 7am but if they start before there's a fine, I'd assume that snow clearing would have much the same rules... not on the main roads but for a parking lot they could clear it later.

When I first heard all the noise earlier this winter I thought it was something with the roads, which they'll do whenever they need to... Then I saw it was a parking lot. Oy vey.
Thanks for the suggestions! :D
