And now the gardeners are here too...

This is kinda funny, ngl, there's 4 blokes from the camera company, they're in and on the roof, stomping around up there sounding like bart in his terrible twos, shaking the windows and lights.

Then there's the door frame bloke. He's ripping off the door frames with a crowbar, then hammering and drilling on new ones

Then there's the gate blokes, they're not doing much, but they are blocking up the driveway

Then the gardeners are whipper snipping the ladders the camera guys chucked up in the backyard to get onto the roof

Then the "case management practitioner supervisor" had to go to the office, so she brought in some oddball dude who's mostly just chilling on the couch making loud phone calls

At least all the grief is over in one day - not hanging around for a week or more.

Yeah, although the door bloke said he'll finish them tomorrow, and they have to come back later on to paint

Glad to hear things are being done. I'm impressed by you referencing Bart in his terrible twos, it goes to show the Simpsons truly are timeless
