Fantasy and reality.

So this morning, I did manage to take a few pictures of the ongoing construction site that I live in the middle of and wrote about the other day – here we go:

This is the blue tarp of death – it floats around and bangs into my window on a regular basis. When it’s particularly windy, I sometimes think it might bring down the entire side of the building:

This is my limited view – although if you look halfway down in the picture, you’ll see where the wall actually used to come to, and how much they’ve knocked out – I think this may actually work to my benefit, provided they don’t do something really crazy (like use this as a a starting point to add 3 more floors to the building, a recurring nightmare of mine):

On the left here is more scaffolding – at least I don’t live in one of those end apartments – it’s essentially a ladder by which someone could climb into your apartment (it’s in an internal courtyard, so noone can get in unless my doorman is asleep…yeah, I’d be worried). On the right, this is what I see when I look left out the window. Like I said before, I really am close enough to throw things:

Apparently, this is all going to look like this when it’s done (I wonder if they’ll let me in to use the pool).
