The landlord and General Contractors could do this work then but choose not to most likely to keep costs down. The other reason is that in a great deal of communities noise ordinances have been enacted that prohibit this type of work at night and on weekends. In Alexandria I have to insure that my employees do make too much noise when arriving at a site and we cannot perform any type of work after 12:00 on Saturdays without a special permit, which are hardly ever issued, and not at all on Sundays. Committees have enacted these noise ordinances without truly thinking through to what the consequences will truly be. So in your case it may be that they had to work during your work hours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994078.post-1146616818541703632006-05-02T20:40:00.000-04:002006-05-02T20:40:00.000-04:00You have my profound sympathy.

They were rehabbing a section of our building last summer; the worst was the 2 or 3 days they spent drilling through raised-floor tiles that musta been solid metal, given how much time they spent drilling them. >shudder<<BR/><BR/>As I said, my deepest sympathy.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06242503212913962081noreply@blogger.com
