The works...

laliginWe've had scaffolding up for a couple of weeks now. Joyful. The roof's being re... um... redone. Yeah. Lining/insulation/retiling, whatever. That sort of stuff.
There's been resultant noise at 8am (*whine*) - and I mean serious noise here - and tiles and gravel apparently thrown at the windows (alright, they dropped stuff, but still - KERBANG, everybody jumps, yelling, "What the hell was that?!" Oh, it's just the roof coming down around our ears, it's fine...) and the concrete out the back has looked like a bomb site at various points...
And better yet, they turned up on the first day after the scaffolding went up, worked like mad, did tons, impressed us mightily, and then vanished. They didn't come back until the next week, at which point they were here until about 3 in the afternoon, then vanished again for a week.
I have not been impressed.
But! This week, they've been all regular and dedicated, got a lot done, brushed the chaos on the concrete into piles before they leave, and, right at this moment, one of them is washing the windows!
Okay, so I'm impressed again. :)
But I'd still like a lie in. Without the drilling, sawing, hammering and crash of falling roof, please.
^_^ Eheh.
