Right?

We'll see.  I did get a bit going, which is super.  A shower, and some such, earlier.  I set up dishes, some for washing some just need a final rinse.  I went outside to see what was what.  I watered the bushes of various sorts, but will wait for evening to hit the asparagus again.  I'll water those twice a day, every other day.  Just a five minute light spray.  The bushes will get hit once or twice a week, depending on how they are looking.  Yeah, I needed sunglasses.

I couldn't find the small garden rake and spade, so I just used a pocket knife.  I got the ladder out and up.  I only have one small area on the front roof with a gutter.  It had dirt at about three to more like four inches deep.  I was a bit worried regarding the downpipe.  Oddly, it was quite open.  Weird, but okay.  Next I want to go up on the roof and clean a bit up and around up there.  The first level of roofing is fairly reasonable to be up on... not too steep or slick.  Still, I...

I have been up there a number of times.  And, while it usually felt okay, going from ladder to roof, I never felt... there was something in the back of my mind.  Danger?  Just something not quite right.  I have, in my life, had to do stupid things because time, or authority, did not allow otherwise.  While I survived much foolishness, I see no point, at this point, of taking further unnecessary risks.  With the internet so easily available... along with half a load of common sense as a minimum, I decided to see if there was a safer way.  It seems there is.  This makes sense to me.  I'll give it a go.  If I like it, if it feels right, I'll go with it... until it fails or I find something better.

If this goes well, and nothing gets broken, I'll head back to the other gutters.  I think I can.  It's not too much work.  Oh, before I go, I'll put a load of laundry in.  It's a small one, it'll be fine.  If I do more work, after outdoors, dishes, and laundry, fantastic.  If I can get just those things done, I'll be happy.  It would be nice to open up in the main bedroom though.  If I can get that together in the next two to three weeks, I can hit the en suit.  I'd truly love to have both of those rooms up and running before winter.  Oh yes I would.  And I might be able to get it done... now that I have truly decided which way to go.  I can even begin buying parts and components through the summer, so that, maybe, all I will have to buy is any minor item(s) missed for the final plumbing or floor laying or painting, etc.  Will always miss some, maybe much.

Back to it.  Later.
