This and That
Not only was our heat pump destroyed this week by a falling gutter.
All, (not only the one that fell into the heat pump) of our gutters were destroyed by ice and snow this week.
The heat pump was replaced. Luckily the insurance has already reimbursed us for that.
We called the gutter people out to take a look and replace the fallen gutter.
The gutter man told us they would all need replaced because the weight of the ice had warped most of them. No joke about that either. I looked around and they are all completely stopped up with ice and whatever it is gutters get stopped up with in the deep backwoods. I’m guessing leaves and tree crud. Which is causing water to spill out absolutely everywhere.
So early in the week they will all be replaced.
Friday morning My Christopher got the car stuck at the end of the driveway. You remember, the piece of crap red car that I completely believe is jinxed. I’m really beginning to be tired of snow.
Saturday morning upon arriving home from work we pulled into the driveway only to find that the truck was not where we left it. It appeared to us that the crazy thing slid on the ice down a hill and was stopped from catapulting down the ravine into the forest and to a fiery death at the bottom of the creek bed by none other than a very small log. We decided it was probably best to leave the thing until after sleeping to give the ice and snow time to melt and hopefully make it easier to back back up into the driveway. So when My Christopher went out to try and move it he noticed the thing wasn’t even in gear. Obviously at some point it had popped out of gear and rolled down the hill. Oh yes, the ground was too wet to move it, so tomorrow while he is sleeping I’m going to have one of the teen boys down the road that has a 4 wheel drive come and help me pull the thing back into place.
Oh yes and to top the week off (finally something good) we are getting a new car on Monday. The jinxed car will be with us no more. . . . .for that I am grateful.
