Directing Handyman At The Gutter
She barked instructions about the broken gutter while pointing to a section above the porch. The handyman carried a ladder around the side and tested each rung before climbing halfway.
She stacked the coolers tighter, slammed the hatch, and waved him toward the downspout. I stayed inside the car and took a timestamped photo of the driveway.
A neighbor jogged past and glanced over his shoulder at the raised ladder.
