And then things got annoying...
Sep. 22nd, 2005 04:14 pmWe, as yuu might see from other posts here on LJ, Here in Minnesota we got socked by a major storm last night, starting about 7:30 PM Central time, roughly. We lost power around 8:30, and it was as black as pitch outside other than the lightning. We (Me,
ataramos,
mirrdae and
khirsadrgn ) apparently JUST got power back at about 2:30 PM today. Bleah.
During the storm, the gutters clogged (again) tho I couldn't go on the roof to clear them- fortunately the little 4' ladder I just got for painting and lightwork lets me reach the problematic ones, those in front, which are the ones that can lead to leakage in the basement...
As I was leaving for work around 10:30 PM I noticed that the downspouts for the back, flat roof were also plugged, with water pouring over the edge. I cleared those, and recleared the others this morning.
One other note- our power supply in my room, that the network and my desktop were plugged into, is no more. It beeped feebly for a few minutes, than apparently died. So THAT has to be replaced.
I get to continue digging the egress window hole tonight, when I get the ambition.
