They're doing construction in my new house and I can't...
 

hear a thing! let alone think :P

Guys banging downstairs, knocking a hole in a wall. People talking loud, going up and down the stairs. Darn, this is driving me nuts! Hoping they'll be done with all the hammering today :(

yeah its hard, had a roof put on after the last hurricane and it was days of just pounding on the roof, hard to work or keep your mind focused

That has got to be a pain in the ass, do you have Wifi or 3g?

I'd go to the park and chill with my laptop.

Rent another house or get a hotel. Hammering drilling and loud noises are far from over if they are just beginning to make holes lol

I do all my work on a desktop, dont really like designing on laptops. So parking myself down the street is out of the question :(
If the banging continues much longer I may end up calling it a day and going to the beach or something.

Definitely very distracting. :2 cents: Taking a break sounds smart.

the price you pay

sucks, hope they finish driving you crazy soon! I know how bad home construction can be first hand!

ear plugs? headphones and music?

Sexual innuendo anyone?

:1orglaugh

How long are they expected to be working on your house?

the main hole they were making is done, so the banging is more subdued now. There's still a bunch of people running around removing old tiles and preping the surface to put new ones in.
THings should be completely done on Friday (let's see how true that is)... after that we'll have about 2 months of peace and then we'll get the AC changed as well as some cosmetic stuff to the outside of the house.

It's a new home (just bought it on the 14th) so there's plenty to do... lucky me *sigh*

Yeah I think that would drive me crazy also. Id have to sleep down the beach

Creative. :thumbsup:thumbsup

And then the construction workers can go thru your underwear drawer and play with all your sex toys while you are gone.

I know what you mean. We moved into this house in January and throughout the year have had tradesmen here doing various jobs. Whenever they're here I get little done. I sympathise with you.

Try living in one of the 3rd world countries experiencing heavy growth. In the past 4 years I've probably had 2-3 weeks of daytime silence. Constant building of condos, apartments, houses. Streets ripped up over and over, etc

I feel your pain! They've been repaving the road at the end of my driveway for a week now and keep blocking me in basically. I left once but they've got those guys holding the signs "Slow" and "Stop" so I'm afraid I'm going to run into someone coming the opposite way lol

They started about 7am today and didn't stop until about 45 minutes ago too. Big ass trucks tearing up the road and repaving it...ugh

EDIT: Yay, now my neighbor is mowing her lawn...and likes to cut half of mine so she can peep in my windows.
