The eyes of buyers would not look with favor on this sight. One problem is the old concrete counters leaned up out here. Then there's the other stuff that amounts to nothing but clutter. But worst of all is the peeling paint so obviously associated with the much larger problem of a lack of rain guttering here. It is wreaking havoc with the house. This is the back door:
So, I got to put up some kind of gutter and solve the drainage problem. Next, I will have to get some marine epoxy and fix the door, then repaint all the affected surfaces.
This area has to be fixed:
As for the concrete slabs, I can use one piece as a pavement for the garbage cans on the side of the house. That is if I can move it some how. The other two pieces... We'll see. Those may be incorporated on an improved grill area. I need some kind of dry cupboard to keep the hibachi and grill equipment in. That would keep me from putting it on the porch.
As for this gutter project, I think I have everything I need to at least to make a real attempt at the fix. Getting this done will clear another mess in the basement of materials not applied and going to waste. I bought some guttering stuff a couple of years ago, but then I hurt my back. I am ready now and this problem is an emergency.
