It's 12:10am on thursday april 6th
2017. across the street there is construction work happening on the
FORD r&d campus. There is a rumble you can hear in our house that
started at 7am on april 5th 2017 and has continued now for
more than 17 hours.
During the day on the 5th,
the smell and taste of cement dust was in the air. Each time i let
the dogs out, or left the house, i could taste it. It irritated my
lungs. It made the dogs sneeze and their eyes run and have long thick
discharges from their tear ducts. I could see cement trucks driving
around across the street, and blowing clouds of dust as they drove
around. The cranes, now only 3 in number that i can see, ran and
rumbled and were irritating. And that is supposed to end at 330pm
each day. Usually it goes till 5pm. Now it is the next day and it is
still going. Our home is filled with a loud low hum and when we open
any of our doors the noise rushes in. It's obviously an engine of some
kind. And to accompany this night work – there are new very bright
white lights in the parking lot that shine right into our house.
I wrote the FORD land managers today to
ask how long this phase would last as it is causing these coughing
and eye issues. I received a very cheerful email reply that said they
would check into the time length of this phase and get back to me.
Anyhow – it's the middle of the night
now. The parking lot looks like a scene from ET and we have to try to
sleep with this noise going on. Of course i did not call the police –
i'm sure they would be of no help, even though we are supposed to
call in noise complaints.
Had a contractor over today who has
worked in construction and old building rehab in and around detroit
for almost 45 years. He said he could tell there was something weird
in the air. Went on to say "FORD buried a lot of weird stuff in
that ground over the years – who knows what they could be bringing
up."
