htop......Thanks for instructions on mailing cuttings. I had lots of thick, 2 ft long ones, as well as some smaller. I wanted to send the bigger ones so he'd have a good start of a few standards. At the post ofc, I weighed the cylinder and found it was way too heavy so pulled some out and 're-crammed' the box. Just hope they get there by Saturday. I have a great appreciation of those who sent me cuttings this fall. That's a job!
Sending a pic of the T-connectors that attach the pvc pipe to the faschia. DH used a long bit to screw T to faschia.
To attach the plastic at the top, he put a few staples in the plastic to hold it in place( leaving a couple of inches excess at the top to roll over the front of the board). Then used a 1x2 board to hold the plastic to the faschia, screwing it in tightly to the faschia. 'Stapled the excess plastic over the front of the board. DH says screwing the board tightly to the faschia is key to keeping it from leaking.
Hope that's not confusing. I explain better with my hands!!!!
