So, they're building another 4 story low-rise apartment right next to mine. I live in a small residential community not in the main section of the city-a suburb. Problem is, the construction guys are loud as H E double hockey sticks with their chatting at 6:30AM every morning. Then, precisely at 6:50AM comes the even louder sounds of construction. This is literally 10 feet from my window. Aren't there any laws regulating start/stop times for construction? At 6:50AM Sunday morning and they are rolling huge piles of scaffolding framing bars onto the street!! Help me.... Oh no, here comes the circular saw!

The sound of construction = the sound of money. That money then goes "Ka-ching" at your hogwan. Thats how you get paid. You can avoid the sound by moving to the Yukon. In the meantime, appreciate the shiney new building you're getting.

They're building a HomePlus down the street from me. The construction noises begin around 6:30. Yet by the time I ride my bike to work around 1:30, they're all taking naps in their truck cabs, with their feet sticking out the window. They should just start later in the morning, thus eliminating the need for afternoon naps.

Hmm, either it's coincidence that your construction and mine are starting at the sametime or 6:50 AM is the legit start time 7 days a week. Absolutely incredible that no consideration is given to the people living in the neighborhood, particularly on weekends. It's actually not too bad Monday thru Friday because I am up at 7AM getting ready for work but heck, on weekends, I'd enjoy sleeping in a bit.

For the rest of my life, no matter where I am: The sound of a jackhammer and the smell of burning plastic will always remind me of Korea.
