So, it’s mostly over now, but can I tell you how irritated I was to wake up recently to the sound of CONSTRUCTION outside my bedroom window?
Seems that the city decided that the alley behindour house need paving. So for about a week, I was given aflashback to our Coal Harbour apartment. Every day at 8 a.m. the beeping and griding and dust would start.
Our office also is at the back of the house, so it was non-stop, and there was no 20 story separation this time, either. I had cleverly included a clause in our rental agreement that lets us bail if construction noise is interfering with the house. That helped me get through it.
Now our alley is slightly less bumpy to drive through. I don’t think it was worth it, because I could drive down it before and I still can now, so the net change isn’t that significant to warrant so much irritation and disruption, but what do I know?
