The Clock is Ticking

When I was at work today, I had a sudden realization that I don't have a whole lot of free time left before I have knee surgery.

As soon as I got home, I trudged into waste deep snow, madly digging around looking for the sump pump outlet- just in case this snow ever starts melting.

From there I continued my blind panic- knocking off icicles and raking snow off my roof with my roof rake. When I was done, I noticed a clapboard pulling away on the gable end of my house. At first it didn't look all that high up, but then I realized it's higher than the lower roof line which I hate climbing up to.

I tried to figure out how to set a ladder on an icy driveway, and then climb it with a bad knee, but by this point it was dark and I gave up- but boy, that loose clapboard is going to bug me.
