Living Under Construction

Literally, my street and apartment have both become construction zones. Just as the construction near my office all but finished, the project on my street started amping up big time and getting closer to my home. On top of that some sort of pipe replacement project is going on in my apartment building and will eventually be in my apartment. But, this morning it all came to a boiling point when the noise outside started at 5am! It was not even light out and I could hear bump...bump...bump...bump... followed by beep beep beep beep. Turns out that is the way of removing a barracade to parking, knocking each post over one at a time and then getting in a truck and backing down the entire street so you can pick them up. I live on the 3rd floor and even with our double pane windows closed, I could still hear the truck! Not how I wanted to start my day.
