Also doing some repairs, such as adding new hangers. These gutters were installed in 1979, so a little maintenance is to be expected. Just because you are not too old to climb, you must not forget that you are too old to fall! Keep that belt buckle centered while you work.
The cistern at the end of the concrete was there in 1903 when Susan's g-grandparents bought this place. A log cabin stood where this house is, and we used that cistern until 2000 when the water main came through our front yard. Water seemed like magic then! We moved to the farm in 1980, and pumping down the cistern and cleaning it was one of the first tasks we had to do. We learned the importance of clean gutters from that chore.
