As much as I love construction and watching the contractor behind my house manage the construction site, my wife is making us relocate way the hell out there in District 6, where she was born long ago. She made this decision based purely on economic issues (much, much cheaper out there), but she likes to keep the bedroom window open, and that is impossible nowadays with the construction running full tilt 24 hours a day.
I must admit that I finally concluded that two years of high decibel noise at night time was not going to be good for me.
There is always one hole being drilled and one hole being set up with reinforcing bars and concrete poured, always at night.
This photo was taken on Sunday morning so the usual morning shift of ironworkers was not in to make rebar cages, but made it for the afternoon shift.
In this night shot on Sunday evening, the ironworkers are hard at work,
while the drillers are drilling and the rebar cages are being set.
Light pollution is also an issue on these 24-hour-a-day construction sites. By midnight, the rebar cage at the extreme left will be set down the hole and the concrete trucks will arrive.
