What you eye-twinklingly tell one or more workmen who are hammering/prying away siding and/or timbers on a home or business in preparation to making repairs/renovations.
Anytime I come upon contractors doing outside carpentry work at a home or place of business along da main street downtown, I love jokingly saying to them, "You know, guys --- there IS da FRONT DOOR, if you wanna get in so badly! You could just open da door and walk through; you don't hafta BREAK DA WALL DOWN to get inside!" I usually get an equally-smart-alecky reply from them, as well, such as, "Oh, we know that, but we wanna be more subtle about our entry!", or "Yeah, we could, but this way is more fun!"
