Construction follows me ....
 
Yes after just three weeks the footpath outside has been dug up, all the red block paving removed and a three foot hole is in place. Can't get into the carpark and my car is on the waste ground opposite. Why do they finish something then dig it all up again :(

Tis nothing compared to the pain of living on salam street in Abu Dhabi these days...every day my car is covered in a thick coat of dust and debris...yes, debris. That's assuming I can even park near my building since they removed nearly all the parking at the front for the works then wonder why the back is overcrowded and people are double parking.

Norm I sympathise with you big time, I was in AD last week and was mortified at the parking situation! double and triple parked all over the place.
