The house next door was recently purchased. The place is a little rough so
we were concerned about who might be buying it. A few weeks ago I met the
new owner who told me that before he moved in he was going to have some
interior work done, including having new floors installed. Once he moved
in, he was going to get busy on the yard and exterior. Cool!

I came home from work the other day to see a couple of trucks in his driveway,
a miter saw set up the yard, etc. All right, work has begun.

At roughly 6:30 SWMBO and I had just sat down for dinner when the doorbell
rang.

"Hi, my name is Dave and I'm working on the house next door."

"Yes, Chris had told me that he was going to have some work done. What's up?"

"Well, I got started a couple of days late and Chris wants to move in this
weekend, so would it be OK with you if I worked a little late tonight? I'm
really trying to get back on schedule but if the noise is going to keep you
up or bother your family, I'll stop."

"No, of course, go right ahead! We completely understand. We're glad that
the place is being updated. Work as long as you want."

Wow! Now that was a breath of fresh air.


Chris is who you have to worry about. :-)
