Repairing the Downspout Today, a friend's wife said to him, "Honey, get off your butt and fix that gutter downspout! And, I want it done before the end of the day!" Well, as you all know, at my age, my friend, and most our friends, are retired and do have the time to address such "Honey do's".. So, he invited some of us neighborhood buddies over to help withthe project. One is a sheet metal fabricator. One brought his welder. One brought beer and Nachos. One brought a grill and burgers. Took us about 6 hours, and 30-40 beers, but we got it done just as we finished off the last of the beer and burgers. As usual, the wife is still not happy! Can't understand, cause all us guys love it! Personally, I cannot wait for rain. images.investorshub.advfn.com/images/uploads/2015/9/18/jiiqiimage001.jpg
