Still Under Construction. The Penultimate Update.

The structure next door is still coming along.
Lately they have been working around the clock. We hear them pounding and hauling
all night long. Our landlord says that everyone wants their construction done
by Tet, so it's not unusual for the workers (they live on-site during the
construction, remember) to work pretty much 24 hours a day as the holiday approaches.
The good news is that there's an end in sight.

The bad news is that they are building right over our bathroom windows.
The bathroom on the lower floor, one of the few sources of light
down there is already bricked over, leaving our kitchen area
darker than before. Now the second story master bath window
is about to go. No building codes or appeal process here.
