Our lovely hall...the water heater is on the other side of the toilet, and note the pile of dirt as well

Just in case the hall wasn't messy enough, the men decided to add a ladder, a cupboard, machinery, and of course--their clothes!

THE LADDER
Now the men have rigged up a ladder around my windows so they can put all the necessary new pipes up outside the building.  So even when we think they're gone, they're not.  They're just right outside the window! =)

It is routed through the toilet room window...
...around the wall into the shower room...
And out the shower room window.

One end comes out of the shower room window and goes back into the toilet room window so that it can be tied securely.
The other end hangs down the side of the building.  On the right side of the ladder you can see part of the new pipe they are putting up--it needs to make it all the way to the 4th floor!  (There are now one or two other new pipes on the left side of the ladder, also working on making their way up.)
One man is on the ladder, while one or two more are on the ground shouting instructions.  Sometimes, if I'm really lucky, some of them will also come up to my flat and yell instructions from the bathroom windows!
