That's not supposed to happen...
August 6th, 2011 01:33 pmMark it on your calendars! I just did a house maintenance project, and it took less time than I thought it would!
My back patio (er, there are two patios as of May, this is the boring functional one that runs along the whole back of the house) has a shed roof of clear corrugated plastic. The gutter at the edge of the shed roof isn't continuous -- there are two gutters with a nine inch gap in the middle, right where you walk out onto the Pretty Patio. They were nailed into rafter end-grain, and there's no downspout on the middle dead-end bit, so they were falling off.
With 15 bucks in hardware, all the falling-off bits are now stuck tightly on, the inside has been cleared, and the outside washed. There are still bits that never fell off that I haven't gotten to, because there are bushes in the way and I have to clean up and go to a polo match now.
Yes. A polo match. I shit you not.
Ta!
