Yesterday I cut the front lawn after work. Then it started to rain on me. At least half the yard was taken care of. It was hard work because I usually take a small nap after work. My college class has finished for a summer break. I guess it was not too bad of a day.
This morning I made up and slept in. The customer closed down due to budget cuts. I worked extra hours last weekend and during the week. So I also got a day off. I had planned to visit my mechanic and do some shopping. At lunch I scored a great deal. Got two chicken sandwiches and two fries for five bucks. Yee haw.
After lunch I came home to drop off some items. That's when I noticed rain flowing over the gutters in the back yard. The rain was falling over the side of the gutter. Had to deal with this quick. The rain was going down to where I store excess firewood. Got up on the ladder and found the downspout clogged.
Pulling out the gunk jamming up the water from the downspout was easy. Then came the hard part. I decided to finally try to secure the gutters to the house. Previoulsy I bought some brackets, screws, and bolts to do the job. Measured where to drill some holes in the gutter. After connecting the gutter to the house with a bracket, the thing was not going to move at all.
All this work made me tired. That's a shame because it was only the first story gutter on the back of the house that I secured. There is the front gutters, and two more gutters that are two stories high. Might have to call in some professional help to gets those locked down. I only had energy left to visit my mechanic. He is still working on my Volkswagon Beetle electrical problems. He found one probem. But there is still something slowly draining the battery.
