Dear Habitat, you suck.

Why am I awake? It's not because my son can't handle the time change.

No. It's because the frickin' construction zone that was once our lovely ravine is being clear cut and levelled some more and the heavy equipment is making a racket. I HATE those beeping back-up noises. I can sleep through the widescale destruction, but not the beeping.

It actually woke Ronan up when the tree felling started, but I managed to get him back to sleep. And it wasn't his normal happy wake-up, it was the screaming cry of a baby who is startled awake.

I already looked up city noise ordinances. I think they're exempt from the daytime noise limitations.

One more reason Habitat will never, ever get money or time from me again. This does not make for a good neighborhood. They could wait until 8am to bring out the nasty machines. I hope they all get poison ivy on their balls.

Pileated woodpeckers aren't quieter, though ;)

Yes, but when they used to do their monkey-bird screams back there, it didn't pierce into my bedroom. Odd, eh? Just a different frequency, I guess.
