“Dear PoPville,
I live near the Engine 8 fire station in Hill East and while I admit it’s a little less awful than your recurring series, it’s still not great!
They’ve been replacing the roof at the fire station for the past couple weeks and this has resulted in lots of noise every morning because they start bright and early (including on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend). Today they’ve gone to the next level — they started work at 5:30 in the morning,
including loud hammering and lots of shouting to each other, then using a gas leaf blower (illegal under DC law) to blow the debris off the roof. I understand that it’s a city building and they may not technically need a construction permit, but whose idea was this? Any idea if residents have any recourse?“

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!
Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.
Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
