“This construction is getting really fucking old” my wife yells out loud as she packs her lunch for the day.
“Yeah it is” agreeing with her in a neutral tone. “We knew this would be coming when we bought the house.”
“I know but the traffic and noise is getting ridiculous.” She says with a sigh. “It’s like they’re building 15 houses at a time.”
“At least you have an office to go to, I have to work from home everyday.”
“That is true. I’m sorry you have to deal with this honey.” She says leaning over towards me kissing my forehead.
My wife and I bought our bi level house six months ago. It’s in a newish development that has three stages of construction. A few weeks ago they started the third phase of construction, building new residences directly behind our house and up the hill. The construction traffic has increased significantly, The noise sometimes is deafening and bothersome as I work from home.
I walk my wife to the door, kiss her gently goodbye, and watch her leave.
