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.

ReplyDeleteSound asleep.
*hi-pitched whine*
Then an hour of it. Who knew Phoenix had so many leaves?
