Laura and I got a ladder out of the garage this afternoon, tried to put it stably against the house, and failed - the ground slopes, the gutter moves, how Jerry did this I have no idea (but why he didn't do it that often, I do). But after giving it a good try, we retreated and I found a company that cleans gutters on Yelp, and if they do what they say they will, they'll come out on Tuesday morning and clean the gutters for $110, plus $25 for the garage, less $10 coupon. Now I just have to cross my fingers that they do come.
It's so depressing to notice the paint peeling in the corner of the house, no doubt from all the water that's probably been pouring off and/or past the gutter. That paint job is only a couple of years old. And it's the same corner where the shingles have fallen off the roof. Yet another thing to add to the growing list of stuff I need to have taken care of.
I do hope the company does a good job of cleaning the gutters tomorrow.
