I was surprised how many thought it was shoddy work when we don't really know anything about it. I am sorry you may lose your view, altho, you will be entertained by the construction work for a while. I just finished a book where the man always watched the people in the apartments across from him - like that movie with Jimmy Stewart (Rear Window).

Cutting corners to save money - someone always pays in one way or another. I remember reading "The Jungle," by Upton Sinclair, about the horrid homes that were sold to the immigrants working in the meat-packing industry. Shameful.
