My next door neighbours are having a loft conversion done. It’s been a bit of a PITA so far- there was only just enough room for the skip on the pavement in front of their house so the builders dumped all their other stuff (including planks of wood and an enormous sack of sand) right up in front of our hedge. They didn’t ask us first, we just came outside and it was there. Every time we ask how much longer it’s going to be there for we’re told “it’ll be gone in a couple of days”. It’s been 3 weeks so far. They’re also making a complete racket every day, including at weekends (Mr NDN did bring a bottle of wine to apologise for the noise on the first Sunday).
That by itself I could live with but they also keep dropping stuff off the scaffolding into my garden where my 19 month old son plays. So far I’ve found several enormous screws and nails, a few fairly sizeable chunks of wood, and today, I only just got to DS in time to stop him taking a bite out of a chunk of fibreglass insulation.
I don’t want to be that neighbour who’s constantly nagging the builders and I don’t want to start any issues with my NDNs (we’ve only lived here 18 months) but this stuff is really dangerous for my son- I’ve had to start scanning my garden every morning before he can come out to play but I don’t always see things like screws, and the bit of insulation was dropped while I was hanging out my laundry to dry, so I didn’t even realise until I saw DS with it.
How the hell do I get them to be more careful?
