Workers have started refurbishing a place opposite us, just to our left of our balcony.
For the last two days, a worker has been using a pnuematic drill to break up the concrete roof. The noise, as you can imagine, is terrible.
They are also tearing apart the inside of the place, which is inside a closed street. Only residents have keys.
It has always looked deserted, but I did not expect anyone would attempt to gut a building so close to where we live.
The place next to it with a lichen-covered roof, even closer to where I sit on my balcony looking over the Silom business district, has also shown no sign of life for months. Perhaps that one will be next.
The owners obviously care not for their neighbours. No one has told us that a big job is starting next door, and that we should brace ourselves for noise menace.
If we want to sleep during the day, we have to close the sliding doors on the balcony, and close the windows in my room. It dampens the noise, but not much.
