problem I hope to never have

if your builders are digging and they find a skull
do they keep digging?

do you call the coppers?
won’t that set your closing date back months?

My builder shut down the big machines this afternoon.
He waved me over.

I was afraid to find out why.
I hoped it was not a skull.

Hi Caren no reason to worry that's unless you have buried someone there in the past. Lol
