Does standing on an aluminum ladder outside today in a cold drizzle in between thunderstorms hacking a quick fix for my loose downspout with-- wait for it-- duct tape-- qualify me for:
1.) A Special Homeowners' Quick Fix Badge
or
2.) A Darwin Award
?

Well, since you're still with us, we'll have to give you an Honorable Mention Darwin. But, I think any inventive use of duct tape deserves some kind of award.
hmmmm, Duct tape really is awesome...I vote for #1. :) Just be sure to get off the aluminum ladder before you get struck by lightening ok?
Do you suppose the fact that I knew standing on an aluminum ladder in the rain was a dumb thing to do while I was doing it makes me seem smarter, or stupider?
because you've not been struck I'll go with one - if you get struck I'm switching to 2
That is a toughie. At least you were not also holding a tall lightening rod.
Your name comes from a series of Andre Nortons books Call Web of the Witch World. You and a little girl in Washington are the only other people, besides myself I have ever heard of having the name. It is nice to know that I am not the only one. I found your blog by accident, and find them unique guess it comes with the name.
I'd vote you a dedicated homeowner. I call professionals for my dirty work. :)
so aluminum conducts electricity, eh?
If I were not very pregnant, I would have been doing the same thing last week.
Scratch that. Had I a ladder and duct tape, I would have been doing the same thing. I had to settle for dumping buckets of rain water every 5-10 minutes.
Ugh, please make it stop raining.
Yes, yes, Rebecca, aluminum does conduct electricity. A fact of which I was well aware the entire time I was standing on the aluminum ladder.
um.
*whistles awkwardly*
can I just chime in with a rousing "Jaelithe's just fine, now!"
?
