This morning as I drove past our house I noticed activity.
Of course our abrasive neighbour has already had words to the builder about all her woes. We can't win with this unfortunate lady. If we keep her fully informed she uses the information to cause us problems; if we keep her in the dark she runs to council, annoys any tradies on our property or sends her husband over to complain. I swear the last "discussion" we had was over the way I trimmed back a large rose in my garden - it wasn't to her liking.
I bet she'll be all in a dither with the asbestos removal today.
She's currently spreading stories about what we're 'really going to be doing' at the house. Which apparently includes ripping out all the mature trees on the property. (Not).
Don't imagine this to be some old biddy. She's probably about 45, and so terribly tragically bored. I try not to let her get to me but she is like a cancer in our street. Last month we thought they'd managed to sell their house and there were plans afoot for a street party. Alas, it seems she doesn't want to move.

I think you've mentioned her before ages ago, the person who has objected to every single renovation in the street and you were the last people being nice to her? Until your own renovation plans were blocked... what a pill she sounds.
Gah, always a pain these folks. I've a friend who's neighbour objected to a garage going up because it would "spoil his view" of my friend's garden!!! A sort of compliment I guess but still ... Good luck!
Leave a bottle of vodka at her front door each morning. That should keep her quiet. Although she might sing loudly for a while until she passes out.
heehee love the vodka suggestion - too clever ... add a vibrator to the bottle and maybe she might smile again ... I have experienced a neighbour like this ... you just can't take it on board - her happiness is in her own hands ... blah !!
we are looking for acreage up here - no neigbours are good neighbours - best le
Oh hell no!! I hope she's miserable throughout your reno, but doesn't spread her misery to you. You will be glad to living elsewhere whilst all the work is being done I'm sure.
