Since this house has a flat roof, with a LOT of big trees towering over it, proper drainage and maintenance of the roof is essential. If anything that's the one flaw with the house. Someone had put cheap plastic drains on the house, some not even affixed to it. One actually fell off a little while ago, and I've been doing my research as to what to replace it with. The solution was 3" galvanized gutters. I just got one installed on the back of the house (which is a big mess right now, my gardener when MIA and I need to find out what's going on there)
For now I just have a plastic extension on the bottom so that the water is moved far enough away from the foundation. Once I get around to re-doing the back yard, I'll address putting proper french drains on it.
Now that it's cold out, those back windows tend to fog up a bit, which may encourage me to put in the double pane windows sooner, as it's pretty ugly.
Next will be the main front drain. For now I have a rain chain, but it's splattering water all over, so I'll have to put once of these on. I'll likely do that tomorrow.
Also got the Christmas lights up.
