Well yesterday was interesting. Two guys spent most of the afternoon destroying the walkway in front of our door with jackhammers. It's pretty safe to say I have never spent nearly this much time nearly this close to such an activity. You may not be surprised to hear that after a while it gets pretty m-m-maddening. What's wild is that they haven't yet cleared away any of the rubble, so it looks a little like a bomb exploded in front of our door.
