I can only imagine this situation...about the noise from those renovation machines or tools.
Normally, i don't like noise, i can't even think..., not even write in a noisy environement.
But i hope this would be fixed soon and you will have a noiseless environement once again.
For now.., you can just be observing all the activities..and perhaps come up with a publication relating what you have noticed during such renovations.
That's a good idea. I will think about it.
