I live in a small apartment block (4 storys, 15 1BR & 4 2BR) & the one across the hall is getting a full reno soon. It was a very cheap Renovator's Dream - remains of original cheap 1978 carpet & doors off some/most? of the cheap 1978 kitchen cupboards, "old fashioned" bathroom with shower over bath (just like mine!) & will be very liveable & trendy when the noise stops. Maybe my heirs will do well with my "renovator's dream" when I pop off the twig!

The new owner is very conscientious & wrote to all the owners & tenants giving his apologies for the future noise & disruption, & his contact details!
