Elliott stayed over last night and, for the first time, slept late. In the past, he always woke by 6:30 A.M. But, this morning, he slept until 7:45 A.M. Just another reason why watching a five-year-old is easier than taking care of a baby or toddler.
Unfortunately, however, Jim and I were awaken at 6:30 A.M. by the construction crew next door. Before we went on vacation last week, Benton Builders dug the hole for one of the two houses they're building. While we were gone, they poured the foundation walls and, sometime yesterday, a load of lumber was delivered. Since they're starting with the house furthest from ours, the noise hasn't been too bad. That is until today.
This morning it sounded as if they were about to come through our bedroom wall. Not a good way to be roused from a sound sleep. After taking a look, with several other neighbors, it appears they're now digging the hole for the second house.
I'm all for progress, especially since the house that used to be next door was an eyesore. But I think there must be a city ordinance against excessive noise before at least 7:00 A.M. Hopefully, this morning was a unique incidence. If not, I'll be calling city hall and doubt I'll be the only one.
