[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Roughly what fraction of the time for an addition would you say the workers will be doing very noisy work?  Like, is it very loud almost all day every day?  75% of the time?  50% of the time?

There’s no way to quantify this. It’s construction. It will be noisy all the time.[/quote]

What are you having done? 4+ months is not a short stretch, so I’m guessing it’s not just a bathroom or two. We are out of our place for a 6 month renovation and I occasionally stop by the house at 730 am to pick up mail, move the trash cans for my neighbor, etc. Sometimes there are a bunch of trucks outside and I can see a lot of workers coming and going. And sometimes it’s completely quiet and no one has showed up yet. So it’s very variable and even though our GC has a schedule for all the subs, it is not always spot on. Sometimes a sub gets pulled away for a time sensitive issue on another project, and sometimes a sub unexpectedly has an open slot and comes in to do work. I think having an owner around is like having your mom at work. Even if she’s trying to be out of the way, you can’t carry on as normal. [/quote]
