Life in Sheffield57 is most unpleasant right now. We are living esssentially in a gutted concrete shell with hundreds of construction workers making an ear-splitting racket and raising enormous levels of dust and dirt from early on every day. At least 38 of the 43 residential floors are still stripped and gutted. The atmoshpere is cold, damp, and dank because most of this huge space is effectively now unheated except for the few occupied units. There are water shut-offs and hot-water turn-offs daily. When the water comes back on it explodes from the pipes in a filthy brown when you first turn the faucet and then smells of chemical compounds for days. Keeping your apartment clean is next to impossible. We have it bad, but I feel for the buyers. I can see interminable delays and a multitude of law suits coming.
