Hi Bob,
The weather around here hasn't been that bad lately. The last few days it's been between 45 and 65. I've never been a real fan of hot weather. 70 to 80 degrees is ideal as far as I'm concerned. Someday, when I'm in an extremely good mood, I'll give you my thoughts about golf. Believe me, you don't want to hear what I've got to say when my mood is otherwise. As far as mowing grass, my wife likes to do that. She claims she likes the exercise but I think it's more a matter of making sure I don't attempt to do it. Having lost just about all my vision now, mowing lawns is one of those things at which I don't excel. Ah well, thanks again for the information.

Sorry you are still having the cold weather too. Did you take a look at the Masters golf tournament over the weekend? You'd probably hate me if you saw how beautiful it is down here already... But you won't have to cut grass for a while either... ----- Original Message ----- From: Edward Przybylek To: [email protected] <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 15, 2009 1:38 PM Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] Sealing A Gutter Hi Bob, I know it's been a long time since you posted this message but I wanted to be sure how well the gutter sealer worked before making any comments. The sealer went up in fairly cold weather in a gutter that was wet. The gutter hasn't leaked since the sealer was applied. I went up on a ladder yesterday to see how the patch looked after several weeks. It looks just as good as the day it was applied. The cold weather and wet surface at the time of application doesn't seem to have been a problem at all. As far as I'm concerned, it's a great product and I know I'll use it again. Thanks for the suggestion.

Here, though, is what might be considered a dumb question. In your message you say it can go on wet or dry. By this, do you mean it comes in a dry state and it can be mixed with some kind of liquid if one would prefer to use it wet? Or, do you mean it can be used on a wet or dry surface? The only roofing I've ever done is seal some loose shingles with a tar compound so please forgive my ignorance.

I think it will go on down to 40 degrees. Just like its name says it can go on wet or dry. Just use a putty knife to spread it out. It's been a long time since I had to check on cold weather sealers so you may do well to ask the folks at Lowes or Home Depot what will work in the cold. If all else fails you can carry a heat gun up the latter and heat the gutter so you can apply gutter caulk. Just heat from underneath the gutter and it will warm up enough for it to work. I've done that before. I know it's a pain to carry a heat gun up the latter and keep track of the cord. Take a bucket and put a coat hanger around the handle. Then you can put everything in the bucket and carry that up the latter. You can twist the hanger around a rung on the latter making a kind of tool box. ----- Original Message ----- From: Edward Przybylek To: [email protected] <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> Sent: Sunday, December 14, 2008 2:36 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Sealing A Gutter Hi all, A drip has developed at a place where two gutters on my roof come together at a right angle. The water drips onto a sidewalk and freezes when the weather gets cold enough. This presents a real hazard to people walking down the sidewalk. My problem is that the weather has been between 30 and 40 degrees lately and will get much colder before too long. This prevents me from using the standard sealants that I normally use. Does anyone know of a sealant that would work in this cold weather to solve this problem. Thanks for any help.
