Our homeowner has been planning a major rebuild on their old row house for 1.5 years and is finally ready to start construction. ️➡️ They inform their neighbors, only to discover that one of them is pregnant and due any day now.

The homeowner offers to provide a build schedule and asks the contractor about possible quiet hours, but isn’t sure if that’s realistic. ⏰ Let’s see what the internet has to say about this emotionally charged situation…
