We were due to start an extension in March. A year in the planning what with planning permission, architects plans, party wall agreements etc. But obviously we had to stop as soon as the lockdown was announced on 23 March.
Now construction workers are being told to go back to work and our builders want to start the work. We can socially distance from them fairly easily as there is side access to the garden and an outside loo we don't need to use. We can just put a barrier up inside the house and keep away from it.
But I'm conflicted as to whether this is really ok. It'll mean extra noise for neighbours, who are all obviously mostly at home. (We're in a semi detached suburban street) and the guys themselves, with the best will in the world, won't really be able to socially distance that well when working.
But pulling out will obviously have financial implications for the builders.
What would you do??
