Oh, they've long since finished. I think they had it done by sunset. It was just- they had someone using a leafblower or some similar device. I'm not sure if it was to sweep the detritus from their work towards the bulk disposal bin (it was the size of a small railroad car) or if it was for use on the roof itself or what, but it sounded like every leaf blower that every lawn care service around here uses. And there are a LOT of people around here who use those services, because many of these local houses are two- or three-family houses owned by landlords who live elsewhere in town. So that's an autumn full of leafblower noise. Followed by a winter of snowblower noise, because most of these places hire people to clean the walks after a snowfall, with the possible exception of the house next door, where I think someone shovels (they don't do it well, whatever it is they do).
I can handle the jet planes' noises. I grew up with worse, living under LaGuardia Airport's final approach. The windows damp a lot of that noise. But when multiple homes within an eighth of a mile all have gas-powered RRRAAASRRRRRA!AHHHH noisemakers blowing their lawns clean...
The roofers were just an advance warning and a reminder of last year. I should have done this long ago, to block out the summertime lawn mowing services. Better late than never.
