construction woes

There's a new apartment building going up next door. That means we don't open our windows for all the dust and we hear lots of construction noise, but at least that's regulated by the mayor's office. Apparently construction can occur between something like 7am and 5pm on weekdays, 7:30am to noon on Saturdays, and never on Sundays and holidays (unless they're pouring concrete at which time construction can go around the clock).

Well yesterday, I noticed that we can look out our den and living room windows and see a toilet in a little bathroom that is possibly part of the maid's quarters in the apartments. They must be showing this one apartment as the very rough model because it's the only toilet I see on any floor.

I pointed it out to Mac yesterday when he got home from school. We wondered what sort of window treatments they're going to install because it's a pretty big window looking in on that toilet from where we perch in the penthouse.

Mac's comment? "This just keeps getting better and better."
