They are doing roadwork right outside my bedroom windows! Actually, they are doing roadwork all over the city. I am aware that it is a necessary evil but the machines, and there are about 6 of them at a time, crank up at about 7 AM every morning and they go until it gets dark. Even on the weekends! These machines have backup beepers and I am guessing they have to go backwards alot plus whatever they are dropping into the ground makes my house shake like we are having an earthquake! It has been going on since before Christmas and there is no end in sight!

2007-02-01 07:33oh.. i know how you feel. i hate it when neighbours in my block is doing renovation. the noise drive me nuts.

2007-02-01 08:40Are they allowed to work Sundays too? It’s a necessary evil but everyone needs a break from the noise and dirt.

2007-02-01 10:04Your explanation made me laugh … Construction noise if a pain. And that backup beeper is especially annoying. It’s like they want me to hear it and look to make sure I don’t get ran over (grin).

2007-02-02 11:50Noise pollution can drive you to distraction…I was going to say “drink”, but thought that might be a bit much. I feel your pain…how much longer?
