Our living room is quite large. The unit itself is oblong. You enter the front door and there is a narrow hallway with two bedrooms on either side of that. Keep walking and you enter the kitchen. The dining room and living area are beyond that, with the master suite to the left between the dining table and couch.
The master suite is the farthest from the front door. There is a sliding glass door that leads out to the porch area with lounge chairs. It overlooks the golf course. So far I've seen three groups play past our door. Last night I went to bed a little after one. Susan went early. Darcy and Savanna were in their room on their electronic devices. Madison was out in the living room working on her summer paper that is due in a few days.
At about two o'clock Maddy heard this banging noise. She looked up and thought, "What was that?" She waited and it came again. Bam! Bam! Bam! She wondered what in the world could be making that noise. Was it someone at the front door? She got up and went to the second bedroom to see if anyone was up in there. Savanna was.
Savanna: "Jeez, this place is noisy!"
Madison: "What is that noise?"
Savanna: "Just listen."
They did and Madison heard people talking on the other side of Savanna's wall and then they both heard people running upstairs right across the bedroom ceiling. Savanna told Madison that had been going on most of the night. Then they both heard Bam! Bam! Bam!
Madison: "What is that? That's the noise I'm talking about."
Savanna: "Did you look out the peep hole to the front door?"
So they both went to the front door and peeked out the peep hole. A man in a Wyndham shirt, carrying a walkie talkie, a tool box, and towels was standing outside the door. They both looked at each other and jumped when the man banged on the door again. Madison didn't want to answer the door nor did she want to wake me. She decided the hell with it.
Madison (relating the story the next morning): "I wasn't about to open the door to some guy in a Wyndham shirt at 2:00 in the morning."
Savanna was still watching him out the peep hole and she heard the guy talk into the walkie talkie. He asked the voice at the other end if he was in the right place. The voice responded with a yes to that number, but a different building. The guy outside our door said, "Oh." and quickly walked away. He should have been in the building next to us.
Madison: "I mean, really. What could he possible be repairing at that hour of the morning?"
So much for the adults in the unit. Susan and I slept right through it.
