Our landlords are doing a few renovations to the exterior of the house we live in. Currently, there is a two-storey scaffold surrounding the bay window in our dining room. On it is a bricklayer who is replacing the mortar around the bricks and windowsills, rotten with age.
On his first day here, our kids watched as he drilled holes in the ivy-eaten mortar and removed the sill in the laundry room. Our oldest, Neva, ran inside to look out the window, but returned looking disappointed.
"I still can't see through the wall!"
Happy sweeping!
