I feel I'm far enough away that I am justified in monaing. (We rejected a house that was RIGHT BY the 401.

I understand that work has to be done at night but some of the workers are hollering. Metrolinx should make some attempt to at least inform the home owners of what the work is and how long it's needed and ask the workers to try and keep the banter at a reasonable volume.<br /><br />Yes I bought near the tracks but I didn't bargain on weeks and weeks of construction. It's just about being a good neighbour.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-47782880489083799702015-03-25T19:03:43.875-04:002015-03-25T19:03:43.875-04:00I used to do what these guys are doing for a livin...I used to do what these guys are doing for a living.<br />The complaining jerk should have a P-811 or a tamping crew shoved up his wazoo.<br />deepfishnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-45394198554302975492015-03-25T11:13:54.077-04:002015-03-25T11:13:54.077-04:00Hopefully.

Trains run all day and all night. <br />When we decided to buy a house south of Highway 2, we knew we'd be dealing with the rumble and sounds of trains, especially at night. <br />I find it annoying to listen to the whistle stops but we KNEW this. No way would I then start complaining on social media about it.<br />We made that choice.C.J. Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03325979176373626807noreply@blogger.com
