Why dont they ever do repairs at a time when no one needs it?

why do they choose a PEAK time: Weekend !!

its the same in my condo building...

they do Electric Repairs always at 10pm and shut off all the elevators and electric for 4 hours (twice per year!!)

honestly, where are their brains ?? !!

Repairs and Maintenance should be done when it LEAST affects people. (at a time when no one is home, or not needing electric).

Oh dear. Lose electrics for four hours twice a year, how do you manage? And you have also been given notice of the power and water cut offs, so you can make arrangements. You make all us up country residents, who have a power cut at the first crack of thunder, look like pioneers opening up America, or exploring the dark continent two hundred years ago.
