Judging from the many, many house renovation projects going on in my area (Leyton — vicariously experience the charms by buying the typeface), people around here are making an investment in their homes. While that’s a good sign overall for the prospects of a pleasant neighborhood where I have a great deal on a room in a super flat with a super flatmate, it leads to some…irritation. Like this GIANT SKIP RIGHT OUTSIDE THAT WILL NEVER EVER GO AWAY as near as I can tell. Sure, it makes it easy to direct people to where I live, but it’s kinda ugly, right?
The builders next door are gutting the former home of a sweet old lady who passed away a while ago, but apparently they do about an hour of work a day, and this damn skip will be eligible for protection as a historical feature soon.
