Noise pollution
Construction in the lot across the street from us continues at this hour. For the first time in three days it;s nice enough for them to work, so there's a swarm of guys putting together the house across the street.
I can't fault them for their efficiency, but one thing that I really dislike is the noise. I threw open the windows this morning to let in the sunshine and fresh air, and since about 7:30 it's been an endless stream of noise -- the hammering of a noisy gas-powered generator they're using to power their electric tools.
It's enough that I had to close the windows -- I couldn't hear Bonnie asking me questions, much less my own thoughts!
It definitely makes me think that I absolutely *don't* want to live or work in this house if and when we ever do any major remodeling or addition work.
