[quote=Anonymous]Looking to commiserate with others who are dealing with the noise, mess and chaos of having the house next to you torn down and new construction.

The one next door to my Montgomery County cape (on a small street of capes and Colonials) is the first teardown on street. I fear it won't be the last, but right now this massive three-story house is towering over everything else. It's been going on for 5 1/2 months and it's not nearly done. I think this one may be worse than some, but it could be that I work from home and have to contend with it  all day every day. They didn't put up fencing, there's no port-a-potty and some of the workers just pee anywhere they want in the yard, there's construction debris and broken glass strewn across the whole mudscape of the former yard and sometimes into my yard and overflowing from the dumpster that's been on the street this whole time. I regularly pick up screws and nails in the street. One neighbor even found a small saw blade in the street.

Someone has regularly filed complaints with the county that you can see online (but none of the neighbors I talked to say they wrote them), but when an inspector comes out he basically says everything is fine. I did file a noise complaint when they were coming as early as 5:15 am. So now they don't start till closer to 7 a.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. on weekends. I just want this to be over!
