So, how much more will my neighbors take before they start complaining? We had a 6:00 am sand delivery for concrete mix several weeks ago (after the driver realized that a 2:30 am delivery in a residential neighborhood was not quite kosher). This has been followed by workers showing up (when they decided to show up) at the butt crack of dawn and letting their diesel truck motor rumble on until everyone shows up. This morning’s dawn, however, was broken with another delivery of wood at 6:20 am. Nothing quite like struggling to put on a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt to direct the deliveries through blurry eyes so early in the day while our contractor is probably still enjoying a warm, comfy bed in his quiet confines.
Within the next 10 days we still have a load of bricks to arrive, roofing materials, drywall, and at least one more delivery of wood. In addition we still have machinery to be delivered that will move gravel and dirt in order to backfill the walls of the basement, grade around the lower-level entrance, and move the remaining dirt to grade the rest of the property. So, I am hoping my neighbors are more patient with these early deliveries than I am.
Maybe I am blowing this all out of proportion The average age of my neighbors is probably 80 years old, so they may be deaf to all of the noise and hubbub going on around them anyway. Maybe I won’t hear a thing from them unless one of the workers plows over a mailbox with their trucks, or takes a leak behind their carport…both not really out of the question at this point. My neighbors are pretty nosy anyway and might even like all the commotion in the neighborhood, so it probably provides good fodder for their occasional conversations.
