Thursday evening open thread


 

The demo of the collapsed building (from a year ago!) continues. They had to pour 2 feet of concrete in the pit to stabilise everything, and now they have to take it out to rebuild the house. What this means is non-stop concrete sawing, with all the attendant noise, dust and smell. Then they whack at it with picks. I guess a jackhammer would destabilise the two houses on either side. Apparently this will go on for about 7 months.

At the same time, the street that mine connects to, at the south end, is closed and being torn up, as well as the street parallel to mine, so people are looking to detour both north and southbound. My street is one way only, so I'm anticipating A) a collision and/or B) some road rage.
