Working construction on Sundays?

On Sundays, one should generally try to avoid noise. Here, people complain, for example, if you mow the lawn on Sundays. Skimming the ceiling is not loud; if you sand it with a sanding tool (probably with the window open due to dust formation), then it would be too loud for us.

Scraping off a ceiling is not loud; if you sand it down with a sanding machine (probably with the window open due to dust formation), then it would be too loud for us.

Well, mowing the lawn on Sundays is also prohibited, isn’t it?

We have a multigenerational conflict on the street (all new buildings). Retirees have sold their houses, moved to the city, and are surprised that there is no midday quiet time and are demanding it.

During the holiday season, it was very turbulent on the street (cul-de-sac and lots of children playing).

The worst thing is that a lot is talked about instead of talking to each other.

Well, it is of course a matter of give and take, even if there is no legal basis (which is likely the case, as long as it is not a spa town etc. or Sunday). Playing children have to be tolerated and that's that. Mowing the lawn or grinding on Sundays should be taken into account, however, because it can be avoided.

Sunday is a day of rest. So you are not allowed to make noise that disturbs others. If your windows are fully covered, you can also make some noise as long as it is no longer audible outside.
Not causing noise pollution is the most important thing.
Vacuuming would also be forbidden if your vacuum cleaner is loud and your windows are open.

That you “work” yourself on Sundays, you would have to tell your pastor during confession, but the regulatory office is not interested.

Paid handyman work is of course forbidden on Sundays and would then be illegal work, unless you have an official exemption permit.

There are occasionally neighbors who are already disturbed by the sight and then prick up their ears, so even the smallest noise suddenly becomes annoying. This mainly happens with well-off older generations. A privacy screen helps against this, although you would be legally in the clear.

I would also speak directly with the neighbors, then you can better assess how they tick. You don't want to ruin it right from the start.

We even excavated and compacted on a Sunday and Monday (Reformation Day) once. But it was okay because it was a village, a new development area with 1 inhabited house and a field. With infill development and sensitive neighbors, I wouldn't have done that. So, you can't generalize about it like that.
