Idle Rhetorical Question of the Day

If we were writing legislation on such matters, what hour of the day would be the earliest in which we would allow jack-hammer-wielding construction workers to practice their trade? What's reasonable? I found myself asking this very question at 6:30 this morning when I heard the soft first notes of the jack-hammer directly in front of my place.

Whatever it is, it should be two hours later on weekends. While in college my roommate and I were awakened one-day by roofing guys climbing around on the roof of the condo we rented.

As if being awakened by hammering and elephant-steps on the roof weren't enough, for good measure they poked two nail-holes in the hot water pipes...

When I lived in apartments in Phoenix, the 7AM leaf-blowers were always the worst.

Sound asleep.

*hi-pitched whine*

Then an hour of it. Who knew Phoenix had so many leaves?
