A few weeks ago, my family and I headed out of town for spring break. While we were gone, our landlord informed us that he would be doing some improvements to our home, including painting the outside.
While our house was in desperate needed of a fresh coat of paint, I cautioned him that springtime isn’t the optimal time for home improvements. For one, I knew that there was a mother bird sitting on a nest of eggs right under our eaves. And the side of our house had over-grown bushes that could be housing baby rabbits.
Our landlord assured us that he would take every precaution to not disturb the wildlife around our home. Thankfully, we returned from our trip to find the mother bird was still sitting happily on her nest of eggs. While everything worked out okay in the end, it would have been better had our landlord waited until the fall for any home improvements.
