Take Care of Your Roof...

Now that the rains are upon us, it's a good time to remember to clean out your downspouts like I did yesterday... I also wanted to show our neighbor how much water he had on his. Here you go, Steve.

Christmas chores...

The smartest thing I did today (not wife/gift related... or phone/mom related) was to climb onto the roof to clear one of our downspouts... What seemed like a small puddle was about 80 gallons of standing water above the bedroom. Yikes.

It's interesting to note that this was the only downspout without a wire strainer to prevent backups. So, lesson learned: check your roof and install downspout strainers on all of your downspouts...

The best part about it is that I did this in shorts and a jacket... I love Northern California.
