Day 90: Gutter Balls!

Ninety days!  Wow, who'd a' thunk it -- that I would have the stick-to-it-iveness to bore you all with every minute detail of my daily $$ expenditures for three whole months?

As usual, I'll list the money I spent today but then I'll also list the household bills that The Husband himself took care of throughout the month.  Sometime within the next few days, I'll post a monthly overview for November.

Handyman Jr. -- $30.00
Labor expense to come out and fix the various issues with our gutters.  One, in the front of the house, appeared to be in fine condition but whenever it rained, or snowed and then melted, water always gushed over the top and down the sides -- everywhere but down the inside of the gutter.  Turns out the whole downspout was full of dirt and gunk and gook -- enough to fill a whole grocery sack.  There was even a golf ball jammed in there!  I'm so glad to have all of the gutters functional again.

The Home Depot -- $33.05
Gutter supplies including a 10' length of galvanized gutter downspout, 4 elbows, a bag of screws, etc.  I'll be able to return two of the elbows for a small refund.

Lowe's -- $4.13
One tube of gutter sealant.  The Home Depot had sealant, too, but only much smaller tubes for nearly the same price or huge caulking tubes of the stuff.

Cash -- $2.00
