A Neighbour has had carpet fitters in. Keeping in mind it is a through
road with regular traffic, said fitters have laid a PVC sheet across
the entire width of the street, on which to drag out the large carpet
roll, with no regards for any traffic which might need to use the road.
The use of the road has continued for the past four hours, often
blocking the road completely as they unroll carpet length out across
the road and is still proceeding.

The whole operation seems very amateur. Sensible would have been for
them to unroll and cut to size, back at base - or am I missing
something?
