#301/365--Unfolded

...but clean...
...laundry...
that will
probably
be there
...until...
each piece
is worn again
...and...
it is
...back...
in
...the dirty clothes basket...

#300/365--Ladder

There are still
...quite a few tasks...
that need to be done
on my home
...since the fire incident...

Cleaning out my
...five-foot gutter...
is one of those
...tasks...

I can only assume
...that it is clogged...
by fire debris
since
...there are no trees around...
...and it's only been clogged...
since the fire

I
...figured...
that I could do this
...on my own...
so
I set up my ladder
...and realized...
that
it's not
...really...
tall enough
and
neither
am
I.

So
I
...proceeded...
to
Home Depot
to see about
some sort of
...device...
that might help me
get this
...task...
done

but

...to no avail...

either
they don't make a tool
...for that purpose...
or
my Home Depot
does not
carry it.

I will have to call someone
to come clean out
my
...five foot gutter...

a task
that will take
probably
10-15 minutes

...hopefully...
they don't charge
...much...
...for that...

#287/365--Plumber's Hat, Day 2

...there was...
this
strange
sewage
odor
coming out
of
the guest bathroom
downstairs
...and it rarely...
...gets used...
so
I flushed
and
flushed
and cleaned the toilet
twice
and flushed
and flushed
and
emptied the tank
and cleaned it
and
the odor
wouldn't go away
so
I
went to
google
...and found...
a
Do - it - yourself
answer
(notice the highlighted section...
...and keep in mind...
....that my home....
was not lived in
for SEVEN months...)

...so...
I
put on
...the plumber's hat again...
and
set about
trying to
rid myself
of the sewage odor
...we'll see if it works!


#286/365--My Plumber's Hat

...remember that running toilet issue...
...that I had...
...about a month ago...
and
I
...couldn't figure out...
...what was causing it...
and
I
...tried replacing the flapper...
and
I
...ended up...
just
turning
it
off
...until I could be advised...
...which...
I
was
recently
by
my friend

and
I
...attempted...
...one more time...
...to put on...
...my plumber's hat...
...and guess what...
.........
Flip
was
right!
....my toilet needed...
...a new seat/seal...

...and guess what...
.........
I
fixed
it.

#282/365--The Fifth

...imagine a courtroom drama...
picture me
defending myself
against
"Prosecuting Attorney"
who
said I was
...criminally negligent...
who
twisted my words
and
kept restating what I said
in order
to make his point
for his case
in order
to
find me
guilty
of
"Failure to Maintain Building Standards"
...it was awful...
and
it
is
over
and
I
am
NOT GUILTY
