Someone, somewhere, decided that the best way to usher in Spring would be to renovate the balconies of my apartment building.

Someone, somewhere, decided that the best way to do this was to jack hammer away parts of the concrete slabs that make up said balconies.

The process is loud.

I've been at home for about three hours, watching a TV that I couldn't hear, because it is the only thing to do that requires neither hearing nor concentration.

Exposure to noise over 80 dB for over an hour can cause permanent hearing damage.
