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!"
