High winds, blowing leaves, rain. That's been a constant for several weeks. Due to the weather, I noticed that our back gutters were stopped up. Water ran over the tops, and nothing flowed through the downspout.
Yesterday our son came over and climbed up the ladder to discover the "spiny balls" from our sweet gum tree in the front yard had collected and fallen into the downspout to create a huge blockage. Since hubby had riveted the downspout pieces together, there was no way to get inside and clear it.
With perseverance and even a walk on the roof, our son managed to clear everything out. He worked hard and diligently to help us. Once done, he then proceeded to knock down some huge hornet nests that had been built last year.
And, even though he'd worked a long hard shift at work before coming over, he never complained, but instead graced us with his beautiful smile.
