A few days ago I saw signs of a patio project poised to get underway on our alley. Today the project started in earnest. Unfortunately the work began at 6:45 am. By midafternoon the roar of the machinery and the men shouting to be heard over the engines was a dim memory. At least I hope so.
Nice patio! My neighbors have been renovating their house for well over a year--the workers come and go, and they are very frustrated. What I've enjoyed is watching my indoor cats sit in the window and growl at the workers. They are so tough till one of them comes to the door!
I think the general council rule around here is that no noisy work can be done before 7:30.
