There was a visitation of workmen. There was banging all day; and men coming in and out. I took the poor dog out on leash to pee and she was almost too scared to do so; luckily they took an hour's lunch and she had a chance to lie on the grass in the sunshine. There is now a humongous a/c thing near the top of the driveway, displacing some of my potted plants. I picked up some remaining debris and then watered. Monty and Prudence, to my surprise, had not fled to the next county but appeared and looked hopefully at me. Monty even came into the back porch room to make sure I had noted his presence, despite its currently containing all sorts of equipment and a huge roll of metallic insulation. When I put food behind the garage, they ate it all.
