We got a 9:00 call from a guy I contacted last night about a Workmate that he had for sale. We met him up on 290 not far from where we live and bought it. It was hardly used and he only wanted $40 for it.
Then we went home and I started to put up the gutters. The work wasn't hard, but it was time consuming. Ellen had to help because of the stupid hanger system that they use. It requires that the hangers be attached to the gutter before the gutter is attached to the house. Apparently there are two alternative methods that don't require this. Unfortunately Home Depot doesn't' sell them.
I only got a little way into the job before I discovered that the instruction sheets failed to show a part that was needed to connect some of the pieces. So It was off to Home Depot to buy them. I also bought a used miter saw that they had on sale. It hadn't seen much use and it was about the same price as I would expect to get one on Craig's list.
When we got back home we finished up the install. It was 6:30 before I had everything put away. I mis-measured the down spout, so I'll need to do a little more extra tomorrow to connect it to the drain pipe.
I'm tired.
