Maybe some of you have realized our absence within the last month or so but we’re back. We had an incident which meant we got screwed over by one of the biggest oil providers in the province with a well that had not been reclaimed properly that ended up leaking and contaminated our soil. Because we had both a well and a cistern on the property that meant the well was compromised which meant we had contaminated water flowing through the pipes of our home. They of course were going to come clean up the problem which meant they were going to dig up all the contaminated soil and swap it with clean soil. This left a giant hole right out side one of our doors. They were then going to pay for a new well to be drilled which was all good until the county wouldn’t approve it due to the depth the well would need to be. So that left us with no water and a massive hole. Two weeks had passed and nothing was done so I contacted the company and they offered to buy the property from us if we wanted to leave. So we spent a couple of weeks looking for the “perfect” place to call home and to move the tortoises to.
Once we found a place we had to plan and prepare to move 15 Tortoises (10 Rescue, 5 personal pets) in the dead of winter.
So after all this time we finally have everyone and everything moved and set up the way we want it to be and hopefully that’s the way it will stay from here on out.
