longing for some peace and quiet

When was it that I mentioned that my new neighbors were renovating their house? Let me see, wasn't that way back at the beginning of last month when I blogged about it? Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was.

Well, guess what, the remodeling crews are still at it. This evening, they were still knocking away at 7pm. I could still hear them while I was having dinner. I can't see them because there's a tree blocking my view so I can't see how extensive their renovations are.

No, honestly how long does it take to renovate a small little house like that? It's been over a month and there's still no sign of the noise letting up any time soon. There's been no peace in the neighborhood since the knocking and drilling and hammering started.

The funny thing is I've almost never heard or seen the new neighbors come in to check on the progress of their house. Don't they even care?

Frankly I can't wait for the day when I hear the truck from the Moving Company bringing the neighbor's stuff in. It would be so nice to be able to sleep in on the weekends again. Or even to take a rare afternoon nap or two.
