At the beginning of the month, we got city water put in. A guy with a big digger came and dug a ditch from the front of our house to the street, where the water line is. The only picture I got was of everyone watching the digger at work.
Among other exciting happenings that day was the realization that the water did, in fact, work. This came in the form of water shooting violently into our basement. I'm fairly certain that spiders were evicted from that portion of the basement ceiling. After a startled moment and a little scrambling, we were able to get the water turned off at the street, avoiding further damage. It was pretty easy to clean up, just scary for the girls (especially Evie), reminding them of the traumatic flood of last year.
Since then, Aaron's gotten my washer hooked up and my dishwasher working, as well as ALL the sink faucets replaced and the tub and toilet running. Little by little, the house has been becoming useful and beautiful!
