So Castlerock has decided to build a two-story 'stock' home next door to us. I knew the day would come where we would have to deal with the whole construction process, but so far it has been 100x worse than I anticipated.
So the first day they were working they started building a frame for the foundation at 5:30 PM and didn't stop banging hammers and crap until 7:45 PM. I had a headache by the end of it.
Yesterday at 6 AM I was jarred awake by the sound of a very loud truck. After looking out the window I see that it is a concrete truck. They chose to pour the foundation at 6 in the morning on a weekday. I normally get up around 6:15, but I was still miffed that I spent the entire morning getting ready listening to the sounds of construction.
Today is the icing on the cake. I was in our laundry room when I heard the high pitched squeal our outside faucets make. I thought that was strange, so I looked out the kitchen window and what do I see? One of the construction workers with a hose connected to our faucet using our water. I ran out the door in my pjs to confront him. Here's the conversation:
Me: Excuse me, but were you just using my water faucet?
Construction Guy: No.
Me: Um, but I heard our faucet running and I saw you standing next to it with a hose, so I think you did use my water.
Construction Guy: Oh, well yeah I used a little.
Me: Yeah, you need to not do that. I pay for that water and I really don't want you to use anything attached to my house.
Construction Guy: Well, it was only a little.
Me: I don't care. You shouldn't steal my water. It's very rude and weird for you to just think you can use my stuff for free. Please don't do it again.
Construction Guy: Yeah ok.
REALLY?!? First you lie to my face, then you just don't seem to care that you STOLE from me and were caught?? What's next, are you going to plug into my outside electrical outlet to blare your music and use your power tools to build a house that ISN'T MINE? Hell no. Ted is calling the head construction guy, but I swear I will call the cops if I catch them doing it again. Surely that is considered theft, right? My water main is not a public watering hole.
Idiots.
Oh, and to pour salt in the wound, the house they are building (a new Castlerock floor plan) is bigger than mine and the base cost is $40k less than what I paid for mine.
