Anyone else just a little intrigued at the physics that took place to spear that branch horizontal like that

Sorry about your shed

WOW! That sucks. That is some crazy wind!! With that kind of wind I wouldn't let my kid play outside, she'd blow away.

I'm more interested in why the downspout comes down in the center of the siding and not at the corner

Just get some caulk fix it right up

The bright side? You now have the opportunity and a pre-fabricated hole to install a smoke exhaust for your new man cave!

So sad.

And there it is... the silver lining.

Sorry about the mishap. Glad to hear all the delicates survived.

Nice french doors!

That blows.

DBall · 02-04-2009, 06:05 PM

I'll come over and help ya rebuild it if we can smoke in there.........

sorry to hear it!

Just putting it out there, your homeowners insurance will cover that under your other structures coverage, might be one way to go...

That's what us hillbillies call ventilation.

On account of it being a 12' shed and the gutters only came in 10' sections and Home depot was out of the connector pieces, but the downspout piece could be used as one, and I didn't want to leave it for any length of time without gutters, so this is how it ended up and I am just a wee bit defensive about it because I think the same damn thing every time I look at it.

But it is just a shed, after all.

So why'd you put the downspout in the middle of the wall and not the corner?

Cuz I had one 10' piece, one downspout, two endcaps, and one pice cut to bring the whole shebang to 12'. I didn't have a piece to connect the two gutter pieces other than the downspout. The endpieces didn't fit on the downspout, so it couldn't go on the very end anyway, at least without cutting another small section of gutter to use to connect them. So I used the downspout as the connector.

Now I definitely have to redo the gutter. And now it bothers me more than the hole in the damn roof.

AAARGH
