You can just see the top of the drain pipe sticking out to the left of the shadow.
The contractor that built this addition had a little decorative box there so I never saw this until now. It lasted through two winters with that little box and a bale of straw that was put there for unrelated reasons, but I feel like that was dumb luck.
What would you do? Keeping in mind a tear-out and replace is out of the question before spring now.
Thanks,
Over time the grackles, blue jays, and blackbirds have become accustomed to each other. Now they work together to watch the younger birds eating.
4 years with this flock. I don't push it with physical contact. But today "filthy phil" decided to patronize the idiot pretending to be a tree. To my utter delight.
Swapped to white walls for this round. They kind of feel like chuck taylor shoes.

And since then - We have found ways to make all travel worse for comfort, more expensive, and more necessary.
My CV looks something like:
Chickens might shit everywhere, scream constantly, and flap their wings just to get attention, much like managers. But they can't make you polish that shit into a product to sell. And if one gets out of line you can just eat them.
I bet his friend is never worried about stupid shit.
Everything is always beyond repair to this fuckstick. I think he may just be horrible at everything.
This is literally me. We've been out here three years - One more year of putting up with the tech world during the day, and building our solace nights and weekends and this place will be close enough to self-sufficient that I can check out of the workday forever.
Don't get me wrong - building a place in the forest yourself, from nothing, is a lot of work. But it is the kind of work that leaves your body tired and your brain energized. Not the soul sucking every day of dealing with 'business' types.
And every year life gets a bit easier here, while it gets harder every day in the tech industry.
All of you writing cogent arguments and being philosophical should step back and realize this whole thread is an unpaid advertisement for amazon subscription groceries written by someone who thinks they were saved by a job there.
Why do the most voracious Xtian monsters always look like how you'd expect a demon in a skinsuit to look if demons were real?
I technically drowned when I was 12 and being an idiot 'riding' waterfalls. I got sucked into a big crack in a rock and when my friends finally got me out I was clinically dead, and all of my fingernails were ripped in half from trying to claw my way out. All I can remember is abject fear, and then the burning as my lungs gave up.
I would rather die by almost any other means.
Alberta - I love me some mennonites, but they are really into 'keeping it in the family'.

We do what I call a shotgun standup twice a week. But it is done async 99% of the time.
Every Tuesday and Thursday we have 30 minutes that conveniently coincides with opening of the coffee shop in the office (two of us are onsite, six remote) prior to which the team is intended to write three bullets in the meeting chat:
If nobody posts a blocker, then we get 30 minutes on the calendar where nobody from outside our team can schedule anything. And the onsite folks get the freshest coffee before everyone else gets down there.
If there is a blocker; the person who called it out and the most experienced person in dealing with that type of blocker will join the call, as will anyone interested in the outcome. Once the blocker is resolved, the solution is put into the same meeting chat.
Pretty damn good these days.
I'm workin' on it!
