{ GUTTERS and DOWNPIPES } I feel totally strange talking about gutters and downpipes, as this is definitely not my forte, but I’ve had a number of people asking where ours are ♀️ so I thought I’d better start asking the hubby a few questions to explain to you guys where they are... First of all - yes, we have them! Secondly - we have hidden them!
Yup, we have hidden them in the cavity of the house, so they are still working away, draining water off the house like all good gutters and downpipes should ☺️ you just can’t see them. (Wait... I tell a lie! There is actually one gutter and downpipe that we had to put in to ensure we got the water off the flat roofed area that links the living area with the bedrooms. Efforts were put in to not have it I’m assured but, alas, it was necessary.) The gutter is sitting between the inner leaf and the outer leaf and is visible from the roof, just not from the ground. The water then makes its way to the downpipes to a ‘soakway’. An aluminium cover plate then goes over the outer leaf blocks to give it a nice clean finish.
I hope all this makes sense I may not know a lot about them but I do think hiding them was the right decision for our house, and I’m truly grateful that hubby knows what he’s talking about!! So, any questions, fire them over and I’ll get him to answer
Between yesterday and today we started what began as a small job in Ayr, to investigate a water damaged summer house. While there we discovered a fair bit of bounce in the decking which we found to be an incredible amount of damage to the joists of the decking. We replaced this rotten joist and post but will require further work come the spring.
We also repaired the damage to the summer house, using treated timber, and installed gutters and downpipes to the summer house to try and redirect the rainwater from falling onto the decking as this was a big contributing factor to the rot in the deck.

KPI's for everyone, all the time, even around the house! I can hardly read these spines, even with my glasses on, this will result in poor outcomes, I'm sure. #kpi #books #bookstacks #paintedbooks #gouachepainting #gouache #artisticexcellence #keyperformanceindicators #feelingsick #helpme #annahoyle #guttersanddownpipes
