In most winters, finishing the process of weekend leaf-raking usually has to compete with weekend rain. You never get a chance for all the leaves to fall and clean them all up before the rain starts falling.
Until this year. Nice how the rain has waited and all!
Joe The Plumber helped finish up the process this weekend. He had installed a barrier about seven years ago in a cornice of the roof that keeps squirrels out of the attic.
In October, I noticed squirrels in the attic again, which meant the miserable little mammals had penetrated the barrier. So, I needed a new chicken-wire barrier and Joe installed it (plus sweeping leaves from the roof). And he is actually living under a roof again rather than living in his van, so his life is steadily-improving after a rough two months.
So, leaf-raking is about 95% complete, before the rain really starts falling. Bizarre!
