HEY, GUYS!
reading through my last couple posts, i realized that i introduced you to a robin and then never followed up with news of the visitors!
brace yourselves though.. the ending isn't a happy one :(
we were expecting the robin's eggs to hatch a couple days after we left for nova scotia......which they did! three little baby robins (who i don't have pictures of) came into this crazy world...inside our house! sadly though, micheal, who was working on the house while we were away came in one morning and found the three little babies and their nest on our floor.. dead :( HOW SAD! it really is quite unfortunate, but yano. there was nothing we could have done :(
on a happier note though, recently, we discovered the water line to our house! WEOOOO, now, i had no idea what the significance of this discovery was until dad filled me in!
turns out that since we found the water line, we don't have to pay the town to dig up the road and find it! ..and according to the father, it would have been a TREMENDOUS cost.. SO YAY! WATER! ..however, even after we've been connected and stuff, the water isn't working for some reason! thankfully though, it's the town's expense to figure out why it's not working!
it's weird because the pictures below are sort of like Déjà vu! you're probably thinking "wait.. what? you've dug up a big chunk of your yard to find the water line before?" ...and the answer is yes. when we first moved to port hawkesbury, nova scotia back in 2008, we bought a VERY old house. 150 years old or something like that! anyways, our plumbing and water randomly stopped working and since it wasn't a problem within the house itself, dad had to borrow a little tractor and dig up our yard. as it turns out, one of the pipes had collapsed and wasn't allowing water (or other stuff) to pass through! sure, it doesn't sound THAT bad.. but paint this picture in your mind... six people, no toilet, one week. TALK ABOUT GROSS. hahaha, i had planned to upload pictures of the first "big dig" as well.........but those pictures aren't on this computer! ..so i'll get them up later :)
