Twisted Sister: You Can't Stop Rock 'N' Roll
I started to tear up typing it! Glad it touched you.
Awhile back I mentioned that I had a part of a seamless gutter fall off the north side of my house. After looking a my options on having it replaced, I realized that I should see if I could just repair the section and put it back up. So that is what I have been working on over the last week. I had to get a bit cleaver to restore the front profile, I took a block of wood and cut the shape with a jig saw, then clamped the two halves around the the gutter with a c-clamp. It did a pretty good job at getting the dents out. I also reinforced the spots that got bent with aluminum angle, and rivets. The support brackets were flimsy pieces of junk, (it is no wonder that it fell) so I made new ones out of the angle. Anyway after a bit more caulking it will be ready to go back up. It is not perfect, but considering I paid about a $100.00 in hardware, it will work for now. I wish I would have had it finished this weekend, because it was in the fifties.

I mean, how often does anyone look at gutters anyway?Awhile back I mentioned that I had a part of a seamless gutter fall off the north side of my house.

Exactly, maybe if I ever sell the house, there is still a slight bend in the center, but it originally had 6 support brackets it 19 ft, I made 12 and each one will have 2 screws. I am hoping that when I tighten them up it will push it down straight, if not I will put another piece of angle underneath to pull it down.

As long as they work. I sure wouldn’t want to spend the bucks on a replacement gutter. You know they’re gonna soak you for it.Exactly, maybe if I ever sell the house, there is still a slight bend in the center, but it originally had 6 support brackets it 19 ft, I made 12 and each one will have 2 screws.

You know, though, like I told Jackie, "No matter where we were, that Radius would've got you home."
June 2016. She just told me the only time she didn't use it was when it was plugged in charging. She vapes a lot.
Apparently never down here as most houses don't have them. When I had the roof replaced, I asked for gutters to be put up. They wanted like 2k to put them on. I decided not to since they did a lousy job with the roof.
I look at gutters but not randomly. If I am purchasing a home, I look at them very closely etc.

Man, what a day we had here in NC...Feb 5 and it was in the high 70's! I put a pair of shorts on, grabbed some water and hit the trail. rode 25-26 miles and saw lots of turtles that had woken up from the unusually warm day, sunning themselves on the rocks and logs in the river. Saw a couple red tailed hawks circling and climbing on the rising warm air currents, screeching away. There was a couple places where there were so many frogs croaking, that the din of their voices was almost overwhelming...I got back to the car and felt great. Next warm day I'm going to repeat the food regimen from today, and shoot for a 34 mile ride. Feeling stronger and experiencing greater endurance as time goes on...maybe someday, maybe this year, I can do a one day round trip ride of the trail...that would be a 64 mile ride, I'll need to start early, bring food, and take some rest stops whilst pacing myself to not burn out along the ride.
Thanks. Mine are 6 months older, but I switch around alot between mods, so I haven't used them anywhere near as much as she has.
I witness this behavior on a daily basis, no rhyme or reason as to what time of day it occurs
gotta love them whack job kitties litterbox time often followed by crayzy running around time though.
Enjoy it while it lasts. Friday and Saturday are going to be cold.
