Don't You Just Love Roof Repairs?

I know they are necessary, but I sure hate the process. Roofers like to start work early. I like to wake up late. The two don't mix. Guess who wins?
I thrive on quiet. I need it to stay sane. Roofers are far from quiet. There's nothing like waking up to the thought that someone is tearing your bedroom wall apart. No! Make the the roof right over your bedroom. Makes Barb grumpy and desperate for somewhere to escape. Not escaping leads to insanity.
This was day 2 of roof repair. I escaped this morning to go sign some legal papers in Templeton. Since there wasn't much but noise to go home to, I took a photo walk while I was there. I may share some of that in another post if there is time.
Tomorrow is day 3. Not sure where I will flee tomorrow. I do know I won't get my full night's sleep tonight.
How well do you handle the banging and thumping when your roof is being repaired or they are doing a construction project on your house? Do you try to escape? If so, where do you go? I ate lunch at the park yesterday and went to a doctor appointment in the afternoon. By the time I finished everything the roofers were gone.

I don't remember what I did when I had the roof redone in my last place, and thankfully, the roof here was redone within the last 10 years, so I won't have to go through that again for some time.

Now that is a painful and deflating subject I'd rather not think about. Fortunately they threw most of the trash down where the cars don't drive. Nails would be easy to see on the driveway. At our other house that only has a dirt driveway it would be a much worse problem.

Yes, it is very bothersome but these things need to done. Here, we have big shopping centers that one can escape to or they can visit family that lives somewhere else but most people feel they need to supervise to make sure that things are done to their liking.
