I have to say that Cresco’s, and Victoria zu Berlin (I still think that is hysterically funny) sense of timing is breathtaking. From physically halving the area of my balcony for a couple of years at the height of the pandemic when it would have been really good to have the full use of that space (and they had promised me that my balcony would not be affected, also described here: https://www.hellemoller.eu/category/the-balcony-that-would-not-be-affected/), to always making more noise every summer than every winter, basically ruining all summers for us since about 2018 to now when it is worse than ever.

They are, supposedly, landscaping the garden behind the building, on a piece of land adjoining ours. Not that anything ever happens. Most of the time they just switch on the machines, but the place has been looking more or less the same for months. Why this “work” had to take place in April, May, June, July, ….. is beyond me. After all, those machines can be switched on and left to make an infernal noise any time of the year.

But at the height of summer, to make sure everybody in the area have to keep windows and balcony doors closed. Thanks again, Cresco Capital Group or Real Estate or whatever it is they call themselves, and “Victoria zu Berlin” (sorry but I have to laugh every time I see that silly yet pompous name).
