I had a large pile of wood stacked, from big rounds to stuff that needed split once. The rounds were getting mold in between. It was windy and cool so I spent 8 hours splitting and stacking. I hurt bad and my hands hurt.
I had an old solar water heater on the roof so today I took it off the brackets and put a rope on it. Darn thing must weigh 200#! It started to slide off the roof and all I could do was shift it as it went to the ground. No damage to anything.
Then the maple and box elder trees spit a trillion seeds this year. My roof was packed and so were the gutters. The front gutters are one piece with triangular holes so guess where the seeds stick and fall through? I had to pull the downspouts and walk the roof back and forth with the leaf blower. Took hours. Then to blow off the decks and driveway. Seeds are 6" thick in spots. I love trees but when I get older the things are coming down.
I am NOT a happy homeowner at this point. I had to go buy a cheap bottle.
Next all the seeds will want to sprout.
