A word of advice to my fellow homeowners |
|
clean out your gutters before the next rainstorm. We just had a wicked down pour when i noticed water streaming down my kitchen window, oh what fun to be on an 18ft extension ladder in the middle of a storm. I'm soaked and i'm kicking my husbands ass when he gets home on thursday.

Out on a ladder during a hailstorm. Who know hail could plug your downspouts for so long?

4. I feel for you - that sucks. |
|
I came home last August after being in Portland for one night, and my basement was flooded - a similar situation, as I hadn't cleaned the gutters. :(
