Bang, Bang, Bang On the Wall, Baby!
So, all day we have been subject to our downstairs neighbor's (our landlord) construction noise. These walls are cement. I had no idea how well sound carries through cement walls. It sounds like they are banging on the other side of the wall and not downstairs. Bang, Bang, Bang. Oh wait, you didn't want an audio description of what the soundtrack of my day sounded like? Well, too bad, you can listen here below. It started up at about 10 am, when all respectable working Egyptians begin work. (actually, that's pretty early for them seeing as how most shops, etc, don't open until 11 or 12) I got back from the gym and it was reverberating throughout the house. The epicenter of it all was in my bathroom. So, I started the shower and got in. Then, I felt the banging right under my feet. It felt like he was going to break right through my tub!! With me standing in it!! I could live with that, but then it started affecting the water. Bang, bang, bang, hot, cold, hot, cold **(yes, no, in, out, up, down)** I could not live with that, so I began some banging of my own with the shaving cream can on the bottom of the tub. And yelling incoherent rants to the imbeciles below. Hey, they can't understand me! They stopped for a few minutes, then began again. I have no idea whether my banging had any effect on their "work". I had other errands to run and so was out from noon to 2. When I got back, it was still going. I had taken Jacqui with me and it was time for her nap. Oh, I had hoped that they would be done by now. But no. I put her down for her nap and BLESS HER LITTLE HEART she's still sleeping 2 hours later. ^^big smile^^ I am marching down there to protest if this continues past 5pm. Anyone got a big fat Advil?

Uh...hmm...let's seeee...could it possibly be that song you're currently obsessed with?
Oh, and thanks bunches for the B-52's song that's now embedded in my brain. No, really. Thanks.
Oh the memories! You reminded me why I am happy to be living in Warrenton now. (I needed the reminder so thanks you!)
It will be over soon!
Hey neighbor... there you are :-)
I know what you mean about the concrete. We've gone months now without any renovations going on up or downstairs... I'm getting paranoid... I know that we're overdue for more. Probably will start on both sides of us to catch up. In the meantime, guys with sledgehammers are trying to knock down the building behind us. Been at it 2? weeks now. Highly entertaining - although the kids worry about the workers falling - and we can actually feel the pounding from across the street.
