Do You Enjoy Workmen in Your House?

DianneN @DianneN (254949) • United States 19 May 16

I always love the finished product, but never people tramping through the house, banging, hammering, knocking, and creating a mess. Today, my peace will be shattered all day long while we have a gas fireplace inserted in our...

Darkwing @Darkwing (21583) 1 Apr 08

Just once or twice before, when trying to get off to sleep, I've heard scratching, and slight thuds, like cardboard boxes being dropped. At first, I thought the curtains in my bedroom were blowing, and pulling across a box which...
