We have a building site next door, and in the beginning it was a bit irritating to hear the starting of hammering early in the morning on Saturdays and on WorkFromHome days. However, recently it has been quiet and as I was WFH all day I noticed that there was really no work going on. They recently announced the sale of the two penthouses for AUD 13M (79M SEK & 6.4M GBP), so I did not think they had run out of money.
Fortunately, senile me, forgot to press "2" in the lift, so got chatting to the guy who lives on "15". He told me the builder had been fired and the council had told the developer he was not allowed to let the purchaser of the two pent-houses knock them into one.
I have a feeling it will be quiet for a long time (which is good for us) as the developer is struggling to hire a new builder because they do not want to take on a half-finished job (which is bad for the developer). Anyway - I will have several more long sleeps on Saturdays coming up.
