We're getting our house painted . Holy fuck is that expensive.

Yesterday, they took off all the downspouts on the roof gutters, so they could paint in back of them. Then they left for the day. And then it rained heavily for the next 24 hours.

The rain poured through the holes where the downspouts used to be and dug out 6"-deep holes in the ground before I got out there to try to stop it with all the plastic sheeting I could find.

FML.
