There's nothing like opening your curtains and suddenly finding yourself face to face with the workmen you had no idea were there. It makes you a lot more diligent about wearing clothes. It's been noisy, dusty, and I've developed a new found appreciation of NorteƱo.
Perhaps it's better this way. Instead of the neighborhood being disrupted by individual building projects over several years, it's one big building spree and then it will be over. At the rate the houses are going up, I expect them all to be done by July 4th, if not sooner. Then I will have a bunch of new neighbors!
In the meantime, I'm concentrating on my backyard, which is looking it's best right now, because the jasmine I planted two years ago is starting to to fill in.
Pretty, isn't it? The cats remain unimpressed. |
Add a background track of circular saws, earth movers, and pounding hammers, and this is what my neighborhood sounds like.
