“Pardon Our Dust” — I love the tongue-in-cheek formality of that.
I was instantly reminded of a sign I saw in the front window of a shop in London that said, “Our apologies for any inconvenience during shoplifting” — it took us a few beats to realize they meant renovations. In those moments, we acted out this scene with some tall, Python-esque manager in a polite English accent: “Um, excuse me, hate to bother, but I noticed you took that teacup without paying. Awfully sorry, but I’ve had to call the police. Would you care for a biscuit while we’re waiting?”
Love the “shoplifting” at your site so far!

Thanks, Graham! I definitely would have been taken aback by a sign about inconveniencing shoplifters; what a strange way to describe renovations. But certainly cause for a Monty Python sketch. :D
