The Beat Goes On...

Our hope that the Jack Hammers were finally done with their massive landscaping project were dashed this week when Jack started in with his favorite landscaping tool again.

We thought at first that the noise was coming from some neighbors across the street who are using a power washer to strip their front wall before refinishing it, but we soon realized that the loudest noise was not coming from their house, but from across the canyon.

It's kind of funny, I guess, because Greg had to use a jackhammer to shape the hillside before he could complete our new retaining wall, and lately he's been using a chop saw to cut boards for the new raised beds going in behind the garage.  I guess Jack just couldn't stand hearing all that noise without contributing to it.  It reminds me of a visit to the zoo years ago; lions in two different enclosures started a roaring competition back and forth across the wall to see who could roar the loudest.

It looks like it's going to be another long, noisy summer.
