Look! There is a man outside my window!

This morning as I was leaving for an appointment with Frank at Edward Jones, I saw the two guys who are referred to as "the Cambodians", by the paint crew, working on a plastic chair with a rod up the middle. My nosiness forced me to go over and see what they were trying to rig, attaching a motor under the chair. No! Don't tell me! Yup, this is what the guys use to hang over the edge of the roof to attach the rain gutters which were replaced as part of this project. Oh, my!

After I got home from my appointment with the two Franks, one who manages investments and who protects my car investment by doing oil changes, I managed to lean close enough to the window to catch a shot of the one guy as he sort of bounced around on the side of the building, installing these gutters. His buddy was down below, handing the next length of gutter to the guy suspended from the roof in the chair. The man below called his buddy in the chair, speaking in their language, and the guy turned to wave at me from his seat on the side of the building. I talked to Connie, our maintenance lady, about this daunting task, asking her if they drew straws to see who got stuck with the job of riding in the chair. She said she doubted it, that "the Cambodians" do all the work on the scaffolding and chair, by default. Everything is so specialized these days. Not for all the tea in Cambodia would I be the one suspended in the chair!!!!
