Being that I work in construction, what is your preferred method for getting the job done? Would you prefer night work from 10PM to 4AM in a Residential area? Would you prefer weekend work starting at 6AM and costing what I'm assuming is a city project nearly double the cost because you want the crews to work on weekends? Even if a crew is NOT at 40 hours for the week all weekend work is double time and that's why you rarely see construction companies with crews going on weekends. The crew will do it, provided the owner is going to pay for it.

I see some RCP in that picture, looks like they'll be installing that soon enough, or would you prefer they don't install that, which is probably the entire reason for the work in the first place? Would you prefer if they just let the storm drain fail and flood out the entire area every time it rains? Or even if the job was to replace the asphalt and they decided that they better update their storm lines now while the road is milled down, would you prefer they let the road turn to complete shit and not ever fix and/or repair it?

I'll tell you what, go to the foreman tomorrow and give him your schedule and when it would be most convenient for you that they work. Let's see how well that goes. Better yet, write your councilman and tell him to increase the budget on the project so they can work nights and weekends.

Or....

Suck it up and leave 10 minutes early.
