Sigh, going to be a noisy day, the roofers are here.

I got a text last night from my landlord saying that the roofers were coming today. It's supposed to rain, but right now the sun is out, and the roofers are here. It's noisy already and they haven't done much. It's going to get worse when they start laying the shingles down and hammer them in. The dog is trying to sleep through the noise of them pulling the old shingles off right now, not sure where the cat is, I guess he's hiding somewhere. I wish I was working today, but with the risk of rain, I can't work, my boss called this morning to tell me that. There is a crew of 4 working up there right now, so it shouldn't take more than a day to get it done, as long as the rain holds off, otherwise I know they'll be back tomorrow. I've never been home when roofers have been working, but I've been on job sites where roofers have been working while I've been doing my work.

I am a gal that likes quite, so I can sympathize with you! If it were me I'd put some ear plugs in. Then again not everyone has those on hand, LOL. We had some really noisy neighbors at one point so I couldn't live without earplugs. Can you maybe leave the house for a bit today? Go out and run some errands. If it were me I might go somewhere like a book store or coffee shop. I hope you're able to have a good day despite the noise!

It hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be. They're using air nailers for the shingles, the worst part was when they were pulling off the old shingles and bringing up the new ones. They are still going, but hoping that they're done soon, it's been a long day. I don't drive anymore so I couldn't go anywhere as I'm far from the downtown area, and I prefer to stay home and make sure that the pets don't get too scared.

It sounds like a good day to just spend getting things done around the house and on the computer. It is hard to concentrate during all the noise.
