Houses...


 


 

 

I had to climb on my tall extension ladder today to clean out the opening at the top of a drainpipe of the eavestrough. The tube at the top of the white drainage pipe on the left of the picture had not been draining for most of summer. I won't do that again for a long time even though I did get along okay. It was not fun.  I think a stray plastic sheet from the shingling people from the past must have been in the trough and it worked its way over to seal up the hole. 

Have a good night and see you in the morning.

We woke to tornado sirens this morning, early, and it sounds like we may get awakened again tonight.

Yikes! Hopefully you can have someone else do that kind of work for you in the future.
Stay cool, next week is supposed to be a blister of a week.

Tall ladders must not be climbed on at a certain age. I reached that age quite a few years ago. I am glad you were successful in clearing the roof drainpipe. Your home and deck are pretty.

Put it on a list for the next time one of your sons visit!
