Water torture

Well thats what it feels like, our guttering that stretches between the two bungalows, well its not long enough to meet each end successfully. We have had some really bad bouts of rain which have helped identify the faults in the guttering. So far the builders have been 3 times to fix it, first it was repaired by pulling from one end to meet in the middle, the second time it was Masticked and we were assured no water would get through. Yep its a bit like a parent saying 'my little angel wont eat that' to the aunt serving up vegetables only to find he/she does, or 'no my dog never takes treats' to see them devour the unidentifiable gift from a passing stranger. Yep you've guessed by now, the guttering leaks, three visits x two men x 1hours work and still not figured out that if something is too short well its too short, no amount of tugging from side to side or trying to bung up just will not work....if its not long enough its not long enough!

Unfortunately it doesn't show up as visually accurate on the photos as I had hoped so haven't posted yet, however if in daylight I can get a good one I will! I am hoping the next time the PG tip monkeys come round they bring a full teapot with the teabags instead of just the water to fill the kettle!
