Disaster Strikes - Now with PHOTOS (update)

UPDATE - Remember what happened about 4 months ago...the wall falling down in my backyard? WELL IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY! I cannot believe this. Thank god no one was hurt, especially because our neighbors have 2 young kids, one of which was just playing out there last night! This was a faulty wall to begin with and has been taken down, put back up, etc 3 times now. The builder of our house is being good about it and finally having a 'specialist' come in and re-do the wall (at his cost) and inpsectors, etc. Shouldnt that have been done the first time, or the 2nd or the 3rd? My gosh I am so angry and DH is LIVID.


I thought I'd share a comical yet annoying story of something that happened this morning!

I am getting ready for work and all of a sudden I hear this loud crackling crash of thunder...only thing is it was right in my backyard. I thought lightening struck the house or something. We look outside only to find our 7 foot retaining wall has completely crumbled and fell down! What the heck?!!?!? I mean our entire patio (along with the neighbors - townhome) is covered in brick and rubbish right now! Sad part of the story is the builder was just at our house last week dismantling and re-doing this wall because it was bulgding and faulty. Guess he has to come back again. Not sure why it happened but I guess the rain caused it to fall. Argh!

Then I leave for work and see 3 buses coming down the road which which equals = RUN. (I take the bus to work and better catch one of those because there may not be one for another 15 minutes.) I run as fast as I can and make the bus but as I grab my bus pass, credit cards and a whole bunch of stuff come flying out of my purse all over the wet sidewalk! Arghh. So I collect everything as I feel everyone people staring at me on the bus! LOL Anyway it was a stressfull morning but at least I can laugh about it now!

Update - here are a few photos DH took:
