Since before Christmas we have had a couple of workmen replacing some of the kerb edges around the area and the mess they've made beggars belief. The work has meant that they have had to use a pneumatic drill and also circular saw to cut the kerb stones so the noise and dust have been prolonged and excessive.
Instead of starting in one place and working in a methodical fashion, they appear to have approached the job willy nilly, first doing a bit here and then doing some there so that when I've cleared up one lot of mess outside the front of my house, they return again to work on another piece of kerb. The dust has not only covered the car but has been trodden inside of the house too and I'm not the only one who has been complaining either.
The other day I was out cleaning my car in the hope that they've finished along here and one of my neighbours was doing the same. He too complained about the mess being trodden inside and said he would clean along the pavement outside of his house with his pressure washer. I told him that I had given my bit a good brush but it's the houses in between that need to get out now and sweep the mess away so that it doesn't get trodden back again, but we might as well wait for hell to freeze over first.
These two workmen have made a real meal out of this job which could have been done in half the time if they had been properly organised and supervised. When they put the home zone down about five years ago they didn't make anywhere near the mess these two have.
