My mind was in the gutter today!

I finally got tired of looking at what the winters have done to the roofline so I thought I would help stimulate the ecomomy and put up new gutters.
Before & After Looks better, now if the water runs out I'll be all set!! Greg

Looks good Greg!
Winters sure can take a toll on mobile homes..but then again these tornados and straight line winds this spring have beat to death some of our shingles. Thankfully that's all that has happened to our home.
Ummm, have you got that water garden up and running yet...

Yeah right...Ummm, do I need to call and talk with Sandy? Might get more motivation out of you.
Hope you and the family are having a great holiday weekend!

Looks great Greg! Straight lines really help the overall appearance.

Streight is a relitive term on this job, the batteries in the "laser guided flashlight" are dead, so it was a "just tuck it under the old gutter" measurement. We are thinking about vinyl siding so they will have to come off anyway. Greg

Yanita, Motivation? I am waiting for the "Build prints". Above ground? In ground? size? Shape? I learned a long time ago to let someone else make up their mind. Greg

LOL, Greg, I hear yeah there. Sandy being much like myself you are better off to get those design ideas!
I can give you a few hints though.
First off make sure your back is ready for the digging, and that you have a bottle of Aleve available at the end of the day!
Take a garden hose, kick it around to get the shape of the pond and size. Now the key here is to now go and expand the width of the design by at least half. LOL, BTDT, and within 2 years our first pond was redone 2 times, each making it larger and deeper. You being in the northern regions if you plan on having any goldfish in there make sure the very center is at least 3 feet deep.
If Sandy or you need any ideas give me a call...
I'll try and get some pics of mine now that the wishing well has been completed, the filtration system is inside that for easy access and clean out. Hmm, just looked out the patio doors at the water garden, maybe better go pull some weeds before the pic...
Hope you and the family had a great holiday weekend...
