Doors...downsides of working at home.

Today we're having a new front door and a new kitchen door. So, for however many hours it takes, I have two strangers removing the old doors and preparing to instal the new ones.

This is one of the downsides of working at home. Even when they are quiet, I can sense their presence, and when they are drilling or hammering, the noise carries from the back to the front of the house. I fiddle with some writing on line, but it's almost impossible to settle to prolonged writing or even thinking about writing. They are not exceptionally noisy or disruptive, but the disruption is a natural accompaniment to their work. Will anyone notice the difference? I'm sure the new doors will be fine, and visitors will be impressed.
