Noisy humbug

The scene looking through my window into the next plot. The demolition of the nice 1950s bungalow took 3 months and on the same footprint the construction of 4 x 3-storey town houses will take another 3 months! All this follows on from a similar project which lasted for 4 months over the winter in the plot on the other side of here.

Not exactly a comfortable environment but many have a far greater suffering to contend with.

It is unlikely I will be able to reply to all comments today but I will try. HFF with best wishes to all.

All that dust and noise and in the end you'll have to look onto an ugly box....The walls look pretty flimsy too;-) But the weather looks fine, so you can escape- HFF, Neil!

Polyrus replied to Gudrun:

The weather is wonderful and hot...by our standards, but I have so much to do that this is very little time to go out. If I open the windows everything is soon covered in dust and they all seem to have voices like foghorns. Meanwhile life goes on...for most of us.

HFF, Gudrun

You seem to have a lot of noise, dust and disruption to contend with Neil............not ideal living conditions. You just have to hope that it runs to schedule and finishes on time..............and then hope that you don't get a bunch of noisy neighbours..!!

You could always make a bit of a project of it.........take photos each day and maybe present copies to your new neighbours as a record of how their houses were built.

Anyway, I hope that despite all that, you are well. HFF to you my friend.

At least this gives you a theme for the HFF group... even if it is not a consolation. We have the same where I live, they are destroying all that was natural to replace it by artificial and concrete... a shame...
HFF anyway
