you won't believe what we found behind this wall 👀

Day 2 and the walls are already revealing their secrets!

DAY TWO in our new-to-us, 120 year old Victorian mansion in Nova Scotia. We found ourselves a free couch that fits very well in our Victorian era duplex. We (start) to install our secondhand water heater, we meet with a Home Energy Assessment, buy a secondhand fridge, and deal with the fact that we're still missing power in half the house.

An absolutely insane number of things happened to us one day one - there was water in basement, there was water pouring from the ceiling, we didn't have power in half of the house, or hot water in any of the house... it was a rough start! So we had to get our hands on a (used) water heater, start emptying out the basement, and start tackling the laundry list of things to do on the thoughtful renovation (restoration?! rehabilitation?) of this house....!
