I wonder if Ashton was always so self-absorbed ? He should be aware of how much these videos reduce his cute factor. It kind of wrecks the "image". If you're going to do this video crap really make it something worthwhile. Your crankiness and self-absorption aren't high on my list.

No one likes having construction done next door to them for this reason, but you have to see it from the workers POV. They start early to beat the heat because by mid-afternoon it's usually too hot to work on roofs. I'd like to see your reation if you were having the work done and your neighbor complained.

Perhaps you could give the contractor your number, so he can call you each day to make sure that you're ok with the schedule. But, since you're not the one paying for the work I suppose you don't get to control the schedule. Don't worry A.K., it will all be over soon. Grow up and cut your neighbor some slack. He has every right to build on or improve his property. I'm sure you have the occasional late night party that bugs him too.

Unbeknownst to Ashton, a giant mirror was put in place a month earlier. It was his house that was actually having the work done!

Punk'd!

Hey, less not be to hard on him, after all he's just a kid. Kids are not mature when it comes to reality and how everyday things work. I'm sure the mother he calls a wife will sit him down and explain what the real world and adults are all about.

What a freakin egotistical weirdo. I mean who cares? Just what time does he think the world gets built? In the 2nd video, he looks like he looks three sheets to the wind. Maybe 7am happens before he can get a few valiums down or something? I'll send him a quarter so he can call somebody that gives a ...

Just why are we caring one way or the other? Until it is your problem, it is not a problem.

He didn't know that the neighbor was having construction done.? Do these people ever look around them? Could he not have gone to another room on the far side of his huge (and i'm sure it's huge0 house?
Ashton and Demi are annoying anyway.
I hope they are kept up for weeks to come. How stupid.

I'm a residential home builder. We start at 7:00 am..... That is my job, trade, career, etc..... We have neighbors complain regularly. My company makes a concerted effort to respect neighbors, but then who the hell are you?? Why is your life so much more important than mine?

You're woken at 7:00 am.....I've been awake for 2 hours and drove 30 miles to get there. I'd rather be in bed sleeping but I had to get up at 5:00am with no sleep 'cause my inconsiderate neighbor working 2nd shift was playing his music loud at 2:30 am!!!!

Construction projects are inconvenient for everyone...that is the truth.!!!... Being a PITA neighbor will only cause you more pain, BELIEVE me!!!

The best solution I have to offer is to introduce yourself and get to know the guys on the crew! Show a little interest in the project and you'll get a lot of repect, often times we'll do favors for people to help compensate for the inconvenience. (if we're there for an extended period of time.)

The most ironic part to me, an listen up hypocrites.....Its always a completely different story when the work is being done on YOUR home!

You sound like one of the few sane ones here. Don't know why so many people get their shorts in a wad or panties in a pinch about comparing bank accounts, privilege or ageism (young men, older women and all that). The real issue here is noise pollution and consideration for other people from BOTH sides of the fence.

There's a "doing business" world where the hours are Nine to Five, as the movie pointed out (and Dolly Parton, Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda can't all be wrong!). I question the custom of beginning construction work at 7:00 a.m. or earlier. I've heard it said that the reason is to take advantage of the daylight hours, but it's still dark in my neck of the woods when that kind of noise begins, and then the workers are out of there by 3 or 4 o'clock. If there is a REAL reason why loud work should begin so early when it disturbs other people, I'd sure like to know it.

in the 9 to 5 world we're getting paid whether we do anything or not- movie stars are paid millions when even if the product stinks - in the construction world the contractor has bid the job at a set price, is paying a crew by the hour - he wants his guys on site before the traffic jams hold them up - he's got materials, heavy equipment, and a customer who wants the job done - his guys are doing physical labor, maybe they want a few hours after work to get the kinks out - kutcher should have bought the next door lot if he wanted protection of views and quiet -

Obviously NONE of you has ever been woken up by a gang of construction workers at 6:45 or so in the morning after coming in from working the late shift.

I could care less about the legalities of it all, but I worked a late shift for a short while and I've been woken up by these guys who think nothing of being as noisy as the can by my neighbor less than 50 feet away. Try it sometime and listen to automatic nail guns going off, buzz saws going off, and hammers constantly hitting while you're praying for a rain storm so you can get some sleep.

Buzz, of course we have all been woken by construction workers. We don't all live in secluded mansions, you know. But we manage to deal with it without throwing a temper tantrum. What's absurd is that a rich spoiled baby like Kutcher who works, what, 6 weeks a year, if he's lucky? Quit your whining you brat and realize the world doesn't revolve around you and your equally annoying wife. The best part of this epic meltdown is that it came just days after he and the Mrs. produced a dopey, ultra sacharine video 'pledging' to be more neighborly and tolerant in the wake of Obamasiah's presidency. Hypocrisy, sweet sweet hypocrisy.

Just wondering why you refer to construction workers as gang members and why you show blaten disrespect for the law as well?
Studies show that people who actually work are not usually gang affiliated, nor do they have trouble sleeping after a hard day's work.
I do agree with you that construction work usually emits noise, but it is just as irratating to the worker as it is to those watching them work.
There is a benifit to your neihbor improving or maintaining his property, it eliminates the possibility of you having to live next to an eye sore and keeps your property from depreciating in value.
How nice it would be if construction work could be accomplished by little fairies riding magic carpets using powder coated cotton tools or perhaps with a magigical wand.

He did not call the construction crew gang members *rolls eyes* he used the word gang, as in a group of people.

I dont think you get it. The above poster, (and even Kutcher, when you take apart his tantrum) has a point. They are not complaining because the construction crew isn't acting like "fairies riding magic carpets". They are complaining because these guys will come in at 7AM to start construction, wake everyone up, and be gone for the day by noon. Good construction companies come later in the day when everyone is at work.

Its a sign of a BAD construction company who gives a sh*t about the community they are working in, and is considerate to no one besides their pay check.

Let Kutcher rail on these guys, they deserve it!

Tell you what. get yourself some power tools and start work at 9 AM instead of 6:30 then when you cut your leg off at 4:30 because the light's bad sue the power tool company. Or maybe you could invent the silent circular saw and hammer and retire a millionaire.

Here's some more news....the vast majority of people work during the day. Your sense of entitlement is as bad as Kutcher's.

Your probably need more noise. I'm not kidding. You have your answer in your last sentence. Don't pray for a rain storm just turn one one. Get yourself a sound spa radio. Or even a small fan - you create white noise by turning it on. White noise mask other sounds. I won't say that it will work for you 100%, but for me it works wonders. Garbage pick up, dogs barking, kids playing, neighbors yelling at each - I sleep right through it. I own the sound spa classic. I place it near my head. My favorite setting is "rain." but "ocean" surf is nice too.

And if daylight bothers you go to the drug store and get a sleep mask.

For a total cost of less than $50 you can be in lala land. I like that I got the clock radio cause sometimes sleeping isn't the problem - it's waking up.

One little thing I forgot to mention, this tends to work for me when I have the window closed. This is usually not a problem because I live in the Northwest. When the temperature does rise significantly, I have a portable air conditioner which is pretty much a total solution.

Did poor Ashton have to get up before noon today?

Boo, hoo.

Thanks for sharing your trials and tribulations.

I'm sure Nikon is wondering what they got themselves into with you. You've demonstrated your maturity and decision making capabilities full well.
