I would think that with the current increase of everything people would be a little more prudent with their money and all that. But it seems some people have loads of money to spend. Oh how I envy them. There's a couple of houses in the row I'm living in that are renovating their houses at the moment. And it's some pretty major renovations that are going on.
Now, while I don't really care what people do with the loads of money they have (I'd care if they gave some to me) but what really irks me is that here I am trying to spend a nice quiet Saturday afternoon at home and I hear construction work sounds causing a huge din that makes the neighbourhood sound like a war zone! I've no issues with them working and I know there's bound to be loud construction sounds when people work but on a Saturday afternoon? Come on already, give a guy a break.
I know some people consider Saturdays half working days but at least stop work at 1.00pm like everyone else and let some peace fall upon the neighborhood. I don't want to spend my whole Saturday hearing drills, hammers pounding, cement being mixed and all that throughout the day and I know these people are going to work till late evening. I've had loads of experience when my Neanderthal neighbour was renovating his house.
I had to put up with noise for close to 3 whole months even on Saturdays and Sundays! Just imagine trying to take a nice afternoon nap and you hear thunderous thumping of hammer drills being activated. I'm sure it's actually illegal to be working and disturbing the peace of a residential neighborhood on weekends but I'm not sure who or where to go to get a stop notices order so I can get them to at least not do work on weekends.
I wonder if I'm the only grouch in the neighborhood who's irritated by the sounds of construction work going on on a weekend? I suppose I got to put up with it for at least a few months but at least I can take some solace that the work is not going on right next to my house. I sympathize with their immediate neighbors, I can imagine the racket they're going to have to put up with.

TELL ME ABOUT IT!
you know, sometimes, on a lovely sunny Saturday afternoon, weather perfect for an afternoon nap, by the time our head hit the pillow....air con's temperature set at a comfortable degree...suddenly we were surrounded by those deafening drilling sounds by our neighbors upstairs or downstairs!
KM - Yeah, these people can be so inconsiderate at times. I have no issues with them working till whatever time they like on weekdays, but at least spare a thought during the weekends la ...
