house remodeling

I wake up with pounding noises.

The buyer of the house next door (the one that used to belong to my mother) is remodeling it completely. Gone are the beautiful wooden windows that I could see from my second floor. Now they have big windows to the cold part. The problem is that the workers are drilling from morning to 6PM. I have told you several times about the way houses are made in Chile so that they can do well in earthquakes. My mother´s house was built by my husband and it had lots of concrete. I wonder what is being torn away, but it seems that all the concrete is falling apart with electric drills

The good part is that I wake up earlier to mylot. Good morning, friends. Here is a sunny, noisy morning

Renovations are worse than building from the beginning.

I got woken up by the telephone this morning. It was not that early, the call came in after 8AM, but I don't like to be woken up by the phone!

When that happens, I always think that there´s some awful news.

I would probably feel more annoyed to see something that was once a part of me get torn down more than the noise but that's just me. Yes let's just enjoy Mylotting.

It must be a bit sad to see your mother's house being changed so much.

I have moved on in many ways. But today I saw a big truck that took away all the torn down beautiful wood that made my mother´s windows.

@JudyEv It is a true shame as the timber was of a very good quality.

@marguicha It's a shame the timber wasn't recycled.

I already moved from the hurt of that. I went through it and even thought about selling my house and going to another house. But it wasn´t so simple and I decided to stay.

True. But it hurts a lot to see the way they destroy all that used to be a good house.

I'm sorry you were woken by loud noises. I'm sure that's not a fun way to wake up. I hope you have a great day anyway though. =)

I have had those noises for weeks. They started before I went to my vacations.

@LovingMyBabies And there´s more to go. It takes months and sometimes years to build a house here.
