Thanks A Lot

Since they've been tearing down and building up next door we've had a few 'incidents'. First off, they broke the phone lines that, actually, just got fixed yesterday which was 3 weeks later. On the same day they also broke the water lines. PTL Our water didn't get cut off but now it comes out like this:

What is strange is that I really don't mind. I mean, I stopped brushing my teeth with the tap water and I haven't done a load of white laundry in three weeks, but other than that it's fine. I'm still cleaner when I get out of the shower than when I got in, so it works out fine.

Then today we were driving down the street and we saw the phone line guys. They stopped and asked if the line was working today and we were like 'well, you fixed it yesterday so probably it works.' They just laughed and moved on. Then we got up to the construction site and noticed an abnormally large crowd gathered. As we looked a little harder we noticed this:

Things might not look so bad until you look a little closer. That's my house...and that's the wall surrounding our compound that has fallen into the hole. When they first started digging and the wall started falling little by little we told them about it and they came over, looked at it, laughed at us and patched up the holes with cement. Then the wall kept moving and the tile on the ground started cracking and falling in a little. We told them again and they just laughed. Then today it was 'God's will' that the wall should fall in and there was just absolutely nothing they could have done about it. I guess it's good that none of them got crushed underneath it!

It's not like a thief is going to go down into the pit and then climb up to break in so no big deal there. But there's also a 3 yr old who lives here too and she finds the gap in the wall fascinating...as does her dog that she likes to chase close to the edge. And that's where we park one of the cars so I guess it's a good thing the car didn't fall in with the wall but now where do we park the car?

So thanks guys next door who break everything and knock down our house. I'm not joking when I say that there's never a dull moment around here!!!
