Hard At Work

Jeesh, those guys are still at work on the roof at my apartment. They have moved on, for the most part, to the lower roof over the business, which is just out my kitchen window. It's still an awful racket in the morning too.
To add to the inconvenience, workers have started working on the front of the building. Last night a guy was working until around 9pm grinding out the old mortar around the brickwork. The front is where my entertainment room is, so you can understand that I was pretty miffed at all the noise while trying to watch a movie and then going online to do some gaming.

This morning there was a guy (maybe the same guy?) working new mortar into the brickwork.
Fortunately, I'm a ways removed from a lot of the other work that's going on downtown. A few blocks over, they have been tearing down buildings to make way for the new Justice Center. I think here are six blocks that were scheduled for demolition.
They have also finally torn down one house that was gutted by fire over a year ago. I've had to pass by the house on the way to work most every day, and I'm glad to see it go. Today, there was nothing more than a hole in the ground to signify where it once stood.
