Spring Hill, TN: No Work on Sunday

Posted by Eric at 6:42 am. Filed under: General

Interesting law.

The ordinance reads no building operations, including erection, excavation, demolition, alteration or repair of any building in any residential area in the city, can be done on Sundays,” Codes and Inspections Director Ferrell White said.

The ordinance came up for debate last week after Codes Enforcement Officer Beau Herring ordered some contractors to stop working on a Sunday, only to find a family doing similar work on their home nearby.

City Administrator Ken York said he needs direction from the Board of Mayor and Aldermen on whether it is illegal for residents to paint or do other home improvement projects on Sunday.

I’m sure the original intent of the law was to provide residents with a day of peace, free of buzzing saws, pounding jackhammers, and ringing nails, but in the day of do-it-yourself weekend home improvement, it is time for this law to not just evolve, but to become extinct.
