My husband finally fixed two of the three leaking gutters he put up a while back. Although gerry rigged would be a more apt description.
The repairs involved rolled metal sheeting and so much cursing I disappeared into the house for most of it. But when I went to check the progress on the barn a few hours later….

I marveled at the non OSHA approved stabilizing device he had employed.

Extension ladder in fear of falling over?
Tie it to a post.

When that repair was complete, he moved onto the section of leaking gutter on the garage and gathered his tools.

When I followed him over and saw a section of tree limb was involved? I did what any self respecting spouse would do… and went back in the house.

Holy MacGyver Batgirl!

“Tie a yellow ladder round the old barn post…it’s been way too long since you nearly killed yourself…” sorry. Ahem. Y’all need that leaf filter thing for your gutters.

Actually we don’t. Leaves are never an issue.

This was mild compared to some of his escapades.

Just make sure you watch long enough to fill in the EMTs.

Ladders already make me nervous. Tying one to a post wouldn’t do a damn thing to ease my apprehension. In fact, it would probably make it worse…

I’m surprised my husband even did it. He usually lives dangerously.

Some things just shouldn’t be watched. When my brothers and I climbed the maple tree in our front yard as kids, my mother closed the drapes inside the house. “If you fell, I didn’t want to watch,” was her explanation.
