Some weeks ago, we were notified that there would be roadworks this week. Indeed, our street really needed some work: it was full of holes. The constructor for these roadworks set up his material on Monday. First they scraped off the old layer of tarmac. We didn't hear any noise because we only arrived back home around noon, so no telling when the work started.
Also yesterday morning, no problem. The work only started after 1 pm because the garbage collection takes place every Tuesday morning and the vehicles needed to pass the street.
But this morning... Around 5.30 am (!) we were woken by the loud noise of the heavy machinery as construction work already started. I really didn't appreciate this. We know that construction workers often start around 7 am (which is still a bit too early, as town regulations stipulate there should be no heavy noise between 10 pm and 8 am) but as we get up around 7 that's no problem. But these guys... It's not even daylight at that hour. I've already filed a complaint but suppose it won't help a lot.
Let's just hope they can finish today so we can sleep until 7 am tomorrow morning!
