Well, the destruction/construction crew is back in the upstairs apartment banging away again.  Apparently, last week was loud just because they were ripping up the carpet and sub-flooring.  Today, they are putting new sub-flooring down.  Everywhere.  In every room.  They have a whole crew of men working, and all of them are banging.  I can also hear a couple of them doing touch up paint.  (Painters were here yesterday, but they were quiet.)  My brother does this kind of work for a living.  When he found out what they were doing, he said that the last tenants must have completely ruined the place for that much work to be done.  I guess that tomorrow will be filled with carpet laying and linoleum-ing.  I just hope that they finish at a decent hour and don't start too early in the morning.  I'd like to get some sleep eventually, and they sound like a herd of elephants trying to dance ballet.  Fingers crossed for some quiet tonight!!!
