We currently live in a recently constructed new subdivision, and as such there is still a fair bit of construction of new houses nearby, however mostly it has been far enough away that the worst you get of it is going on is seeing the concrete trucks rumbling past along the road.
In the last few weeks however both the vacant block immediately behind us, and the one across the road have begun having new houses built on them.
Jack loves it of course, as there’s always something to see out the window during the day, and new things to explore each evening, but for us it’s a bit wierd, as they’re kind of boxing us in, and the builders do sometimes seem to start their banging, hammering, sawing and the like at some disconcertingly early hours.
