I live on a street of Victorian terraced houses. It’s on street parking and close to the centre of town so pretty busy at the best of times.
One of the houses opposite was a bit of a wreck and purchased by somebody who wanted to renovate it to live in. All fine.. only the building work has been going on for over 4 YEARS now, and I’m starting to get really fed up.
The vans are constantly parking in the middle of the road, we have workmen shouting to each other at any time from 7am even on weekends, they have recently blocked off the pavement as they’re turning the front garden into a driveway and that’s been going on for fucking weeks.
I have a baby who is constantly woken from his naps by the sound of drilling, banging and shouting. To get anything like a proper nap I have to put him in the pram and go for a 1.5 hour walk even in the pissing rain. He’s constantly tired and whiny and I’m sick of being woken up early at weekends.
I messaged the owner of the house who basically said ‘nothing I can do but finish the job’ and said he’s just over halfway!!!!!! These are 2-3 bed houses and not large ones. 7ish years to renovate it?! What the fuck is taking this long?
AIBU to be thoroughly fed up
