The roofers seem to be done; they're working on the next building over now (there are four buildings in my complex). However...the notice came on Thursday that we had to remove all items from our balconies because they are starting on the balconies on Monday. There are flower pots and planters stashed all over my apartment now.
Last summer they did the balconies across the parking lot. Actually, the didn't finish the entire building until almost spring. It seems there were unexpected issues. They basically seem to take down the railings, tear apart the balconies, rebuild them, redo the pillars (they're white now on the other building instead of brick), and put the railings back up. It took all summer and into fall to do the front of the other building and most of fall and winter to do the rest of the building.
I don't mind them redoing the balconies and I figure the have a reason. I can even live without the balcony for the summer. It's just the part where there will be workmen on the balcony so I'll have to keep things closed up or have strange men looking in. The roofers weren't a problem; I could see them going up and down sometimes, but they didn't bother me. Also, I am not looking forward to the noise.
It's going to be a different summer. I may sometimes have to flee to work at the library on the very noisy days.
