Yesterday was a big success (I think) w/ the downpipes. Had 2 hoses going in (one town and one tank) for 30mins and seems good.
No injuries lol.
Birds were using one of the gutters as a bird bath but since re-attaching one of the corners water is moving the right way again so yay (sorry birds).
Next downpour should be okay or at least less bad.
But 2 phobias.. Antlophobia (flood) and Ombrophobia (rain) should subside.
Every few nights usually get weird dreams of falling off shit. but since going up that ladder so many times in the last month or so they've stopped for now. Not the safest way to deal with that but hey it worked. Don't feel fear in real life up there but the dreams are wild. Also the dreams of tripping on shit have stopped. Weird brain.
Time to put the ladder away and wait for something else to break and find a new phobia.
