our construction crew fwends

since mid-october, we've had a crew of six guys camped out next to our house/store. they've been systematically replacing old gas lines up and down our entire street. the lines had dated back to the 1920's, so it was welcome work. gas lines that old can't be a good thing.

over the last 2+ months, they've been a constant presence right there outside our door. they wave hello every time we walk the dog, pull out of our garage, look out the window, etc. they've teased us about how big our dog is and the inordinate amount of beer bottles in our recycling. they've helped us move junk from the alley and offered to carry firewood for us.

imagine our surprise this morning when there was complete silence.

Outhouse

this was all that was left of the crew - just their potty.
