I got the ladder out to scrape some paint on the walls of Chez Borepatch (motto: if it moves, salute her; if it doesn't, paint it). And since the scraping went pretty fast, I got the paint out, and painted the scraped patches.
And since the ladder was out, I cleaned out the gutters, and swept up all the @#$%! pine needle detritus. And then since I was all done, I put the ladder away. Good thing it was a balmy 80° here. Summer in New England sure beats winter in New England, but it removes a danged good excuse to put off scraping, painting, and gutter cleaning.
Now it's time for an ibuprofen cocktail. Can't be too achy for tomorrow's blogshoot ...
Borepatch....Save the aspirin for those headaches you'll get from the cocktails you'll need to drink in order to give you the "courage" to lug that ladder around while cleaning your gutters, the next time.
ReplyDeleteBut, I've got a "brighter idea!" Try instead of a ladder, a Gutter Clutter Buster Kit, that when connected to your wet/dry vac literally vacuums out the rain gutter while you stay firmly on the ground. No more headaches, backaches, bruises, bangs, bleeding fingers, or more when using the Gutter Clutter Buster. You'll be ready for a "real party" after doing this chore in half the time it took you with your ladder.
Stay cool, stay safe, stay well and save money every time you use this method and you'll have energy to "party hearty!"
Be happy- it is 80 degrees here when I get up in the morning
ReplyDeleteIf it makes you feel good I know there will be a lever action there tomorrow. . .

ReplyDeleteLol.. we have the same motto here, except if it moves I bow before her worshipfully.
It was still over 100 here, in the shade on my deck at 7pm. Only 3 more months of summer here....
I got tired just reading this...off to take a well deserved nap....for doing nothing...
ReplyDeleteNow what were the benefits of indentured servitude (marriage) once again?......lol
Actually, it goes:
ReplyDeleteIf it moves, salute it.
If it doesn't move, pick it up.
If you can't pick it up, paint it.
