There's nothing quite like the headache you get from being woken up by demolition in the apartment downstairs from you and then said noise continuing without pause for hours. It seems that they are one-by-one gutting the emtpy apartments (and there were something like 80 empty as of a month ago since they're not renewing leases and not writing new ones in the new owner's attempt to go condo). I first discovered this yesterday when I went to get the mail. One of the first-floor apartments from the building we used to be in was being totally gutted. There was a trailer with sinks, cabinets and related piled outside the building, a new window that had been installed in the building and work going on within. I didn't think much of it until they apparently stated in on the empty apartment directly below me.
just one pile of stuff removed this morning as seen from my balcony
All day my walls are shaking, floors vibrating, pipes rattling, and the incessant POUND THUD POUND POUND THUD THUD THUD is enough to drive me fucking crazy. I can't take this noise, let alone ontop of having gotten no sleep and that it doesn't cease!
Get me out of this light-forsaken apartment! Bah.
