Walls and Neighbours

A wall suggests privacy but someone who's had a temporary structure installed knows it's an illusion. Ours is suppose to prevent the public from wandering through the construction site - check; reduce dust and odours - if so, I'm glad we're not experiencing the full dose of pollutions; and reduce sound - a firm negative. That said, it's interesting to discover that dead air is an anathema even when machines are running. The construction crew's taste in music is eclectic and leads one to contemplate how it's chosen. Democracy is alive in the workplace I guess. Goodness only knows what they think of the sounds that leach to their side. Some of those story hours [the meeting room has been co opted for storage] must raise eyebrows.
