their music is loud

The workmen are here again today rebuilding our porch. Their country western music is loud and proud Cranked up to ear-drum-breaking levels. I hear it in every room of my house and they are outside. This might be their last day, or maybe tomorrow. I do not say a word about their house-shaking music. Workmen are temperamental, and I want them to come back. I have played this game before and know it is best to keep silent. Carpenters are difficult to find, and if they walk I am sunk. Luckily I have an art studio, so I go out there – a bit farther away. Can I hear it out there? Yes, but it is more tolerable at that distance.
