Is Gutter Cleaning in Ireland a Must-Do Chore for Homeowners?

Ireland's lush greenery and frequent rains contribute to the country's breathtaking landscapes but also pose challenges for homeowners. One often-overlooked aspect of home maintenance in this context is gutter cleaning. JC Exterior Cleaning, your reliable cleaning contractor in Dublin, emphasizes the importance of making gutter cleaning a priority for homeowners across Ireland.

Understanding the Importance of Gutter Cleaning in Ireland

1. Preventing Water Damage: Gutter cleaning is not just about aesthetics; it's a crucial step in preventing water damage to your home. In Ireland, where rain is a regular companion, clogged gutters can lead to water overflow, causing damage to the foundation, walls, and even the roof. JC Exterior Cleaning's professional services ensure that your gutters are free from debris, allowing for proper water drainage.

2. Avoiding Structural Issues: Over time, debris such as leaves, twigs, and dirt can accumulate in your gutters, adding unnecessary weight. This can lead to sagging and even detachment from the house, posing a significant risk to your home's structural integrity. Regular gutter cleaning, especially in a climate like Ireland's, is a proactive measure to avoid such issues.

3. Preventing Pest Infestations: Clogged gutters can become a haven for pests like mosquitoes, birds, and rodents. Stagnant water and debris provide an ideal breeding ground for these unwanted visitors. JC Exterior Cleaning's thorough gutter cleaning services ensure that your gutters remain pest-free, contributing to a healthier living environment.

The Role of a Cleaning Contractor in Dublin Beyond just gutter cleaning, JC Exterior Cleaning offers a comprehensive suite of services as your trusted cleaning contractor in Dublin. Their expertise extends to power washing, window cleaning, and other exterior cleaning solutions. By choosing a versatile cleaning contractor, homeowners can address multiple aspects of exterior maintenance in one go.

Conclusion: Prioritizing Home Wellness Through Gutter Cleaning In conclusion, gutter cleaning is a non-negotiable task for homeowners in Ireland, and JC Exterior Cleaning is your go-to partner for ensuring this chore is not overlooked. Neglecting gutter maintenance can lead to a cascade of issues that affect the integrity and aesthetics of your home.

By investing in professional gutter cleaning services, you not only protect your home from potential damages but also contribute to its longevity. A well-maintained gutter system is a testament to your commitment to home wellness, ensuring that your property stands strong against the elements, no matter how Irish weather decides to surprise you.

So, make gutter cleaning a priority on your home maintenance checklist, and let JC Exterior Cleaning take care of the rest. After all, a clean and well-maintained home is a happy and resilient home.

“Clóda,” one stone. 

“Clóda,” another. 

“Fuck sake,” I murmur to myself, then throw a third, bigger one, which smacks off her window so loudly that I’m briefly paralysed with fear that it has broken the glass. Thankfully it hasn’t. She comes out onto the balcony.

“There you are,” she says quietly, peering down at me in her garden as I drop my handful of stones and wipe the dirt on my thighs. 

“Yeah, here I am. This is a bit Shakespearean isn’t it?” 

“Huh?”

“Like, you know, 'but soft, what light through yonder window breaks…. Defy thy father, refuse thy name', et cetera,” I pause before clarifying, “Romeo and Juliet, no?”

“Oh, I did The Merchant of Venice for my Junior Cert.”

“I thought you’d have still gotten the reference.”

She leans over the balcony to point to a precarious looking trellis against the wall, “If you climb up that thing you’ll be able to reach me.”

“Right,” I say, and press my foot against the flimsy timber to test my weight, “You know I’m like, nearly thirteen stone?” 

“You can try.”

“And if I break it?”

“Hmm, try not to,” she suggests. 

“Right,” I brace myself by slotting my fingers into a gap between some brick facade on the side of the house and I haul myself onto the trellis, and it groans but doesn’t give. “I’m good, I think I’m good.”

From there it’s not so bad. I nimbly move up the wall, grab hold of the sun room gutters and grab a hold of the balcony railings, where I find myself thrilled in the way a child is, having climbed somewhere he is not supposed to climb, the king of the castle overlooking his vast land, though I can’t really see much in the dark countryside, save a few car headlights in the distance, the lighthouse flashing over the bay. 

“Um, here,” Clóda hisses, and I realise I have briefly forgotten my objective, but the rest is easy, I just swing myself over the railing and I’m up. 

“Nice that you’ve a balcony,” I comment, “I don't know many other people who have one of these.”

“We built this house a few years ago, and for some reason I wanted a balcony in my room, I don’t know, I was like, ten, and it was a stupid idea because it’s mostly too cold out here to even make use of.” 

“Useful now though, huh?” 

She tucks her hair behind her ears and bats her eyelashes at me, “yeah I suppose it is.”

She pushes the door open and we creep into her room where the only light is from the glow of the television screen in the corner. It’s clean, very clean with no clutter or clothes lying around, which always freaks me out for reasons that I cannot explain. The idea that a person would have the interest or discipline to keep their bedroom clean is odd. If a person's bedroom is a mirror to the inside of their mind, then the lack of chaos in hers is foreign and unrelatable. 

While she switches on a pink fringed bedside light I throw myself down on the neatly tucked duvet just so that I can mess it up a little bit, to mark my territory like some kind of wild dog let loose in a palace. I peer at her CD collection and mess that up too by pulling one out and showing it to her, “Jesse McCartney, huh? You a fan?”

She goes pink and grabs it out of my hand, “Yeah I used to be, I dunno, not so much anymore, I don’t know why I still have that.”

I grab another, “Who are the Jonas Brothers?” 

“Oh, they’re-”

“That guy in the middle has a pretty wild haircut, would you fancy me with that?”

“No,” she giggles and takes that CD off me too, then slots them carefully back where they were, “I have some silly stuff, I probably shouldn’t have it all out.”

“Nah, well, look, you have some great stuff here, how ‘bout this? Black Holes and Revelations? I love this album, you know I saw Muse live last year.”

The mattress sinks as she sits next to me, “Really? Was it when they came to Ireland?”

“Nah it was in the states.”

Her eyes flash with intrigue, “like, America?”

“Mm, yeah.”

“That’s so cool.”

“Is it?”

“Yeah, that you just, like, go to America and stuff. I don’t know anybody who’s gone to America yet, and I want to go so badly.”

I shrug, “well you should, then.”

“How often do you go?”

“Not often, I was there last year and then before that…” I try to remember, “I think I was maybe twelve. It takes a long time to get to where I’m going, you know, from here you can only get to New York and then you have to get a connecting flight and all of that,” thinking about the ordeal of it exhausts me, but Clóda is leaning forward in fascination, as hearing the words ‘New York’ come out of my mouth has sent a thrill through her. 

“What do you go for?”

“Just to visit family and stuff.”

“You’ve family there?”

“Of course, did you not know that my dad is American?”

She frowns, “Well you sound a little bit American but I thought… I don’t know, really, I thought you were putting it on or something.”

“What, like, for attention?”

“I don’t know,” she shakes her head, impatient, “where do you go?”

“Well… I’ve some family in California and some in New Mexico, which is like, a state in the southwest, kinda wedged between Texas and California, if you can imagine that on a map,” I leave out poor Arizona just to make it easier on her, because nobody here knows what the hell a New Mexico, (‘no, no not Mexico, New Mexico’) is so it’s best to keep it concise. 

Clóda is nodding vigorously, “California, like, LA.”

“Kind of. Like, my dad comes from a place called San Bernardino, which is-” I take her wrist and trace a line on the soft skin of her inner arm, “-to the east of LA, say, an hour or two away, depending on the traffic, yeah? And then his family, like his aunts and uncles and their parents, who we used to visit sometimes, they’re living in a place way up north,” I run a gentle trail all the way up to the sleeve of her t-shirt, “to the very tip top of the Sacramento valley in this rugged, gold rush town…” I lift my eyes to her and she’s staring at my hand, following the motion of my finger as I skim the tip of it over her shoulder and across the taut skin of her collarbone. I prepare myself to say more sexy things about the Sacramento river and the rolling hills and the central valley and whatever else I usually bang on about whenever someone asks, but she looks into my eyes and says: “Is there an Abercrombie where you go?”

“Huh?”

“Abercrombie and Fitch.”

I frown, “Yeah?”

“Oh, wow.” She pushes me onto my back and lays on top of me, gazing down at me with fervid glitter in her eyes, “If you go back to America this year, could you buy me something from there?”

I search in her eyes for some sign that she’s joking and determine that she isn’t. She really wants me to do that. “Yep, sure,” I say.

“Ah, that’d be amazing. You know the way they have those bags too? The ones with the black and white pictures of the guys' bodies on them? Well there was a girl in my class who…”

And I zone out and I stop listening to her as she talks about laminating the bags and carrying school books in them, and I wonder if she will even notice the glazed over look in my eyes as I let my eyes unfocus and stare into the middle distance between her and her pastel pink walls and ask myself some serious questions. 

Do I like her?

She’s pretty though.

Sure, she’s pretty but is she fun? 

She likes Muse.

She’s not even very nice though, is she? She’s said a few weird things in the past.

Yeah but I’ve had sex with her now.

I can’t really stop talking to her or anything, can I? That’d mean I’m a dickhead. 

But would I rather be a dickhead or be miserable?

Maybe both outcomes will make me miserable. Maybe I’m just pre-programmed to be a miserable person. Or am I just cursed?

I zone back in for a moment, “...and then Mr. Brennan confiscated all of them, and there was this whole thing where the parents council…” What is happening? 

“Uh huh,” I say, “Uh huh… uh huh, what? That’s crazy,” God she is really pretty though, the kind of pretty that’s hard to find, and it’s not like there’s anyone else around, is there? It’d be awkward to stop seeing each other now with two whole weeks left of the summer.

How To Identify The Perfect Rainwater Harvesting Systems

Rainwater harvesting systems offer effective solutions that address water supply and stormwater runoff problems. Ireland has a beautiful landscape and plenty of rainfall. To harness this natural resource, rainwater harvesting system installations are gaining momentum in the country. 

Depending on the target and catchment area one may choose from various systems. While these can be simple and affordable, certain design standards are essential for their effectiveness. 

Let’s explore some of the paramount factors that need consideration when planning a system.

Protecting Water Quality Before Storage

There is a common misconception that rainwater is natural and doesn’t require consideration of its quality while storage in a rainwater harvesting system. Several people also assume that chlorine post-storage disinfection can address potential water quality issues. However, both assumptions are incorrect.

To protect the quality of harvested rainwater, it is crucial to ensure the cleanliness of the roof and gutters. Overhanging vegetation should be kept clear, and gutters should be regularly cleaned. Another essential step is the inclusion of pre-tank filters  that prevent leaves and other debris from entering the storage tank. An effective rainwater filter should block material larger than beach sand and prevent water from washing over or filtering through debris to enter the tank. It should also accommodate large rainfall events and include an overflow pipe of sufficient size to prevent water backup into downspouts or other piping near the building’s foundation.

Estimating Potential Use

Evaluating demand and use of rainwater supply is important. If the demand is high, smaller systems may not adequately meet the needs of users. Conversely, there may be a surplus. 

Appropriate Sizing for Collection Area

A well-designed rainwater harvesting system must match the available water supply, which is dependent on the roof size, local rainfall patterns, water demand, and storage tank capacity. Generally, a storage tank should be designed to store all the water runoff generated during a single significant rainstorm, typically ranging from 1 to 2 inches of rain. The amount of rainfall that you can collect is governed by the following formula:

1″ of rain x 1 sq. ft. = 0.623 gallons. At Rainwater Harvesting Systems Ireland, we have unrivalled experience in harvesting systems and solutions that bring clean water to you for your needs. You can rely on us for professional water pump repair, sales, plumbing and maintenance.  Call us today   know the ideal system for your requirements. 

Safe and Easy Water Usage

To ensure safe water usage, harvested rainwater should be treated appropriately. If the rainwater will be used indoors, it should be disinfected with chlorine, ultraviolet light, or a similar method. The rainwater harvesting system should also provide sufficient volume and pressure for the intended use. While gravity flow might be adequate for small-scale gardening, most systems will require appropriately sized pumps. It is important to ensure that the pump will not operate when the storage tank lacks sufficient water, as running a pump without water flow can damage it. It is crucial to design rainwater harvesting systems to be user-friendly, as their effectiveness relies on regular utilization.

Minimal and Infrequent Maintenance

Complicated and demanding maintenance requirements often result in neglect and subsequent issues with the rainwater harvesting system. Each property owner’s willingness to perform maintenance tasks may vary. Therefore, it is essential to carefully consider the expected maintenance level and compare it with the system’s requirements. If the system demands more maintenance than the owner is willing or able to provide, it can be concluded that the rainwater harvesting system is not well-designed for that specific user. Ease of access to all components requiring maintenance should be a primary consideration.

Site-Specific Design Considerations

For aboveground storage tanks, it is important to consider the likelihood of freezing temperatures and the system’s functionality under such circumstances. In freezing climates, options include draining the system for winter or burying pumps and small diameter piping below the frost line, adequately wrapping them in heat trace tape, or housing them in climate-controlled enclosures. An underground tank should be appropriately designed to support any potential vehicle load on top. Tanks should be installed in a way that prevents surface water from entering and potentially floating the tank. For aboveground tanks, level, compacted ground with a concrete or gravel base is recommended for installation.

Mosquito Prevention

Designing the storage tank to keep mosquitoes out is crucial. All inlets and outlets should be properly sealed or screened. Additionally, checking for any gaps around pipes is important to ensure effective mosquito prevention.

Preventing Improper Cross-Connection

Many rainwater harvesting systems include a backup water supply, often sourced from municipal water. To prevent cross-contamination, improper connections that allow harvested rainwater to backflow into the municipal water system must be avoided. Any connection between a rainwater harvesting system and other water supply systems should incorporate appropriate backflow prevention devices, such as air gaps or reduced pressure zone backflow prevention devices.

Remember to adjust and modify this information as needed, ensuring it fits the desired length and tone of your publication.

The budget

When selecting a rainwater harvesting system for your property in Ireland, budget is a key consideration. Investing in a rainwater harvesting system for an average-sized home involves various equipment costs that should be carefully evaluated.

In addition to the basic water-butt system, which offers a cost-effective option, more elaborate rainwater harvesting systems are also available. These systems may include advanced features for increased efficiency and water storage capacity.

By comparing the budget requirements of different rainwater harvesting systems, including simple and more elaborate options, we can assist you in deciding on the most suitable system for your property in Ireland.

How Independent New Home Surveys Help You Avoid Costly Repairs

When you buy a new home, you want to be sure it’s safe and structurally sound. You can’t see the problems that might develop if they’re not there yet, so this is where a new home survey comes in useful.

A professional surveyor will thoroughly inspect your property and check that everything is constructed well and functioning properly. They’ll ensure that your new home has a high quality paint job and that all your walls have no dents or scratches. They’ll also make sure there are no problems with damp or subsidence and check that the work has been carried out correctly so any future repairs won’t cause further damage or cost you more money than necessary.

New Home Surveys by a Qualified Surveyor

A new home survey is a professional inspection of your new home, conducted by a qualified surveyor. It differs from other types of surveys in that it’s not just looking at the property as it stands today and identifying issues that need to be addressed, but also covering areas such as heating, ventilation and drainage assessments.

Thorough New Home Surveys by Professionals

A surveyor for new home surveys in Ireland is responsible for inspecting and evaluating the condition of newly constructed homes to ensure that they meet the necessary building standards and regulations. The surveyor’s primary role is to provide an independent assessment of the property’s condition, highlighting any defects or potential problems that may need to be addressed by the developer or builder.

The surveyor will typically conduct a thorough inspection of the property, both internally and externally, checking for issues such as structural defects, poor workmanship, inadequate insulation, dampness, and ventilation problems. They will also assess the quality of the fixtures and fittings installed in the home, such as windows, doors, and heating systems, to ensure they are fit for purpose.

Once the survey is complete, the surveyor will provide a detailed snag list report to the client and the contractor, highlighting any issues found during the inspection. This snag list report will then be used by the contractor as a guide for all the necessary fixes and repairs that need to be done on the new home.

New Home Surveys Can Help Avoid Future Costly Repairs

A new home survey by a surveyor can help prevent future costly repairs by identifying any defects or potential problems in the property early on. Here are some ways in which a survey can help:

Early detection of issues: A surveyor can identify any defects or problems with the property that may not be immediately obvious to the buyer. By identifying these issues early, the buyer can take steps to address them before they become more serious and costly to fix.

Detailed snag list report: A surveyor’s report will provide the buyer with a detailed overview of the property’s condition, highlighting any areas that require attention or repair. This report can serve as a roadmap for the buyer, outlining the work that needs to be done by the contractor prior to moving in to ensure the property remains in good condition.

Future planning: A surveyor can provide the buyer with advice on how to maintain the property in the future, which can help prevent future costly repairs. For example, they may recommend regular maintenance tasks such as cleaning gutters, checking the roof for leaks, and ensuring the heating system is serviced regularly.

A new home survey is a great way to avoid costly repairs in the future. With the help of a qualified surveyor, you can identify problems with your property before they become too big to fix.

Gutter Cleaning in Dublin, Ireland

Searching for an Excellent, Reliable Gutter Cleaning Dublin? Problems with clogged, leaking gutters? We offer a secure, dependable gutter cleaning service. We clean out your gutter of any moss, leaves, and debris while also making sure all downpipes are clear. As you are aware, Dublin, Ireland experiences a variety of weather conditions throughout the year. Because of this unpredictable weather, your gutters may become clogged with debris like leaves, mud, and, of course, moss.

Allowing these materials to accumulate damages your gutters in two ways. First, by allowing the filth to accumulate in your gutter, you risk harming the aesthetic appeal of your home.

The second is damage, which can result from failing to examine or clear up gutters. This can cause gutters to overflow or break under the weight of debris like leaves and moss.

“In Dublin and the surrounding area, we unclog gutter clogs for all types of gutter systems around-the-clock.”

You could think that a vertical drop down to the earth will not have any trapped dirt, but this can happen in downpipes with small branches and leaves being lodged. Downpipes are one of the regions that always go unreported.

We constantly make sure to cover and clear every inch of the ground and leave no stone unturned.

We ensure that the fascia and soffit receive the same amount of care as the gutters themselves when performing our sort of gutter cleaning service. Cleaning your home's fascia, gutters, and other outside elements will significantly improve your home's exterior appearance.

Know When You Need Gutter Cleaning Service

What is the best way to clear a gutter?

Properly clearing gutters is essential for home maintenance. The best way to clear gutters is to start by removing any debris such as leaves or twigs using gloves and a small trowel. Next, use a garden hose with a spray nozzle attachment to flush out any remaining dirt or grime. Start from one end of the gutter and work your way towards the downspout, ensuring water flows freely. It's important to check for any clogs in the downspout and remove them if necessary. Finally, examine the gutter for any damage or leaks that may need repair. Regularly cleaning your gutters will prevent clogging and ensure proper rainwater drainage.

What happens if you never clean your gutters?

Neglecting regular gutter cleaning can lead to various issues for homeowners. When gutters are not cleaned, leaves, debris, and dirt accumulate inside them, causing clogs. These blockages hinder proper water flow during rainfall, which can result in overflowing gutters. This overflow can damage the roof, siding, and foundation of the house due to water seepage. Additionally, stagnant water in clogged gutters can become a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other pests. Gutters that are not properly maintained may also develop rust or corrosion over time, shortening their lifespan. To avoid potential costly repairs or structural damage to your home, it is essential to regularly clean your gutters.

What is the best time to clean gutters?

The best time to clean gutters depends on several factors such as climate and foliage in your area. Generally speaking, it is recommended to clean gutters at least twice a year - once in spring after tree pollination and again in late fall after most leaves have fallen. Spring cleaning removes the debris accumulated during winter while fall cleaning prevents blockages before heavy rain or snowfall occurs. However, if you live in an area with a lot of trees or heavy rainfall, more frequent cleaning might be necessary. Additionally, conducting a visual inspection during these cleanings allows you to identify any damage that may require repair. Regular maintenance and timely cleaning ensure the continuous functioning of your gutters throughout the year.

[wistfulrat]

a 4-part rec list of my fave drarry fics - the thrillers, dramas, soft bois, and wankbanks getting me through 2020′s shitstorm

[the soft boi list is here and truly i’m not surprised this rec is going to be the longest bc if there’s one thing a bitch is going to do, it’s yearn.

as always! if you love a fic, follow the authors, leave kudos & comments, send them nice msgs bc free art is still labor xoxo]

part 3: soft bois

mood: for when I need respite, a balm to the all-consuming shittiness of life

includes: fluff, comfort, low-stakes, slow-burn fics. a wistful look, a rainy morning, an unexpected grace, a stupidly disarming joke. i could live inside these fics. the smallness of human lives removed from the site of that which hurts & irreparably changes. the story-equivalent of a deep breath after a long day. pregnant silences & pensive mundanity & shy smiles. banter with bite but without the cruelty. the color lavender. weirdly whimsical. soft fics are not necessarily conflict-averse (no drarry fic rly can be, considering the context) but, they offer the reader a generous distance from the initial harm. they’re the quiet cleaning up after a storm. sometimes healing is an exacting surgical knife and other times it’s a slow scabbing. you read these fics to be reassured that the way forward is not always ruthless. and honestly?? they deserve a semblance of peace godDAMmit.

The Way Down by @letteredlettered - 65k - T “and I thought that if someone talked to you as though you were a human being you might—maybe you could act like one” --the way i think about this line daily. the characterization of draco in this fic is one my favorites bc he’s earnest and neurotic and tired of harry’s shit. which is to say, he cares so so much. and harry doesn’t know what to do with that bc he’s got a monster in his chest and lives as a recluse. but they both humanize each other in ways no one else can. “you’re just a person” has to be some kind of drarry ethics of belonging and it makes me CRY. -

Little Deaths and How to Avoid Them by @greaseonmymouth and dustmouth - 96k - T “Maybe it’s not about deserving it? Maybe you just get to have it anyway. . .I’m allowing myself to want something and to let myself have it and to fight for it.” --harry runs a daycare and also works at a library. draco spends a lot of time in said library. they bond over sci-fi books and therapy anecdotes and quiet philosophical conversations held over cafeteria soup. and harry’s struggling to understand his asexuality. draco’s learning how to live with anxiety and depression. they both want to be deserving of love. incredible fic with beautiful art by dustmouth. - 

Open for Repairs by @drarrytrash - 35k - T “A few leaves rustle in the gutter and the muggle world pays no mind to them, to two lost boys holding on for dear life.” --all of their fics feel exactly like this. like you’ve been allowed to look at something private, tender, unexpected. draco, known abba fan, is a repairman in the muggle world & harry can’t stop breaking thrifted things in order to see him? say less, i'm thERE. also “I think I have a crush on you” goddddd  - other faves by them: Counting Down By Ten - 2k - T: draco’s stepped outside of the party for a smoke. harry follows him bc of course he does. i could read this 100 times and not get tired of it. - Clouds That Veil the Midnight Moon - 36k - E: FUCKING HILARIOUS I CACKLED THROUGH THE WHOLE THING. draco’s wolfy problem and harry helping him and harry being flustered by how much he likes draco and draco’s hot heroic moment. shutup it’s perfect. “He almost asks if Draco ever gets tired of being a miserable complaining shit all the time, but he knows that he, personally, never ever gets tired of being a miserable complaining shit.” and “It’s the traumas,” Harry says gravely” --lines that live rent free in my head -

Harry Potter and the Future He Doesn't Really Want, Thanks by seefin - 70k - E “That was the only logical thing to do here, wasn’t it? It was the next step, it was the end of hurting each other and the beginning of the exact opposite.” --harry lives with luna and neville and also he dreams about the future sometimes? and he keeps running into draco. draco thinks this is sus as hell, until he doesn’t. feat. taxi rides, museums, cinemas, rooftop conversations beneath a lunar eclipse, mid-sex innocuous banter, draco and harry discussing nicki minaj. this fic charmed my ass off. seefin writes the most effortlessly hilarious dialogues. i smiled at my phone like an idiot at least 7 times. -  other faves by them: Wild - 93k - E: “he liked feeling needed, for the things that he was needed for back at the house in Ireland. For cooking and gardening and driving. Easy things.” --this shit makes me cry it’s so good. harry lives in Ireland with these three brilliant, hilarious, wandless witches and draco’s a potions student who's come to study under one of the housemates and the boys have so much shit to work through but their love becomes so tender and honest. draco yells at harry a lot and harry lets him and they both keep each other grounded in something real and fuCK.  - Divination for Dickheads - 7k - G: “I’m terrible at having crushes. I’ve never played anything cool a day in my life.” -- oh harry, we knOW. a bus ride, a fortune teller, an aquarium birthday party. god i love this fic. -

Modern Love by @tackytigerfic​ - 61k - E “But we’ve worked so hard at this, haven’t we? Yeah, I know it’s a horror to have to talk about it, but fuck it. We’re friends now, but it took so long to get here. Have you ever had to work so hard at something before?" --the steady blossoming of their friendship in this fic is so goddamn beautiful i want to yell. it’s draco and harry learning to trust each other and the whole thing unfolds so slowly, in this whimsical mix of london streets, wizarding politics, church halls feat. a Hot vicar, and a magical antique shop owner who’s married to literal poseidon?? goD the environment of this fic. immaculate. [also there’s a tender shower scene that makes me cry every single fucking time so if you read this fic pls dm me so we can be embarrassing about it together tbh] -

Nice Things by aideomai - 22k - M “He kept waiting for the weird shock of touch to not knock him clean out of his head, leave him quiet and warm and happy.” --8th year. harry forms an unlikely friendship with draco that begins with smoking weed on a windowsill. harry is touch-starved and draco touches him like he touches all his close friends - like it’s easy. the quiet affection in this fic, the way harry burrows himself into touch bc he’s been without it for his entire life. reading this is like being held. -

Running On Air by @tinyhistory​ - 74k - T “do you remember when we were eleven?” --alexa play coldplay’s the scientist it’s sad girl hours and we’re about to fucking yearn. you’ve seen this fic rec on every drarry list under the sun and i'm here to be redundant. the hype is so goddamn real. this story is a lyrical masterpiece held together by lines that act as refrains that will rattle around your brain until you die, probably. draco’s been missing for 3yrs. harry goes to find him. it’s their odyssey of homecoming. -

Title of Their Sex Tape by @cibeewastaken - 12k - T “But Draco, Draco was everything but boring. Draco made sitting in the rain watching an empty house fun.” --auror partners pining and draco being eccentric and harry being very earnestly gay about draco’s eccentricities!! god this fic is so genuinely fun skskd feat. undercover missions, murderous faeries, a book heist, a stunning navy dress, harry’s eyelashes. -

How We Throw Our Shadows Down by @thistle-verse - 14k - T “Draco is about to say something else— to thank Potter for what he’d done, however poorly— but Harry is smiling at him again, and it’s so soft and perfect that Draco holds in any inadequate words, lest he spoil it.” --draco collects tea cozies and of course harry has the one he wants. the sad and tender gays are at it again feat. conversations in the rain at a train station, melancholy Blaise, muggle photos, wizarding e-bay, the Dursleys.  -

Helix by Saras_Girl - 92k - E “Draco sighs in his sleep and Harry clings on to consciousness, needing to hold on, to give this tiny, insignificant moment the attention it deserves” --I think maybe you can describe every soft Saras_Girl story as giving tiny, insignificant moments the attention they deserve. like, this is an 8th year fic about snails and it’s full of whimsy, grief, compassion, and easy humor. an absolute must-read author in this genre if you want languorous, episodic fics full of distinct OCs and affectionate creatures. - other faves by them: Light up the Night Sky - 98k - M “Draco, sometimes you make my head feel like soup” --the one where harry is a fireworks artist and has a pet chameleon named ken. draco is on the wizarding arts council. they both pine like hell. - Headlights in the Snow - 71k - M “they stare at each other in silence, Harry’s heart beating so loud in his chest that he thinks the biddies must be able to hear it over the sound of their card game.” --the one where draco drives the knight bus and carts around the biddy club, a group of rambunctious old ladies who knit and drink tea and gossip. harry can’t help but fall in love with the everything about this. -

Follow the Water by @xanthippe74 - 38k - T “Harry’s heavy thoughts lift at the sight, like dark clouds blown away from the sun by the wind. The tent doesn’t feel so cramped and stifling now. It feels cozy. And safe. It’s the same feeling that Harry gets when he’s at the Burrow for Sunday roasts, when a group of people who care for each other deeply are crammed into too-small a space.” --harry wanders to the lovegood house on a sunday afternoon. he’s baffled to see that luna’s taken pansy, greg, and draco under her wing. what follows is a summer of forest walks, scavenger hunts, gardening, water fights, odd cakes, faerie rings, and picnics. so many picnics. i love the pace of this fic, the innocent return to childhood things, the way luna brings out the best in all her friends. reluctantly soft slytherins are just *chefs kiss*!! -

Going Postal (A 125pg comic) by dustmouth - T what. a. beautiful. ass. comic. the wizarding fashion, the textures, the character design!! harry travels a lot for his job as a resourcer. draco works in the regulations dept. they pine like a bunch of lovesick idiots via field report notes. god i love dustmouth’s art. -

All the Earnest Young Men by @tepre​ - 29k - E “Draco is twenty-seven layers of personality wrapped up in drama and humour, and a wit so sharp it still stings when he doesn’t see it coming. But there is something below that, too. Something that makes Harry ache just looking at him.” --the way i would lay down my little life for tepre’s characterization of draco, whom invented the word earnest. he’s a magical art theory expert and portraits are disappearing all over London and harry’s the auror assigned to this case. and well. they’re both so very avoidant about how gay they are for each other and it’s like!! shutup and kiss!! which they do in fact, shutup and kiss.  -

Trenches by sara_holmes - 3k - M “Somewhere in the distant part of his mind that hasn't frozen solid, he thinks that maybe he and Draco are about to become more than auror partners, smoking buddies, wine-mates and co-inhabitants of a snow filled trench somewhere in western Scotland.” --the plot line here is literally “it’s cold and i need a fucking cigarette” but let me tell you how I never tire of the shared loaded-silences of two emotionally repressed gays. -

The Years Before Love by lomonaaeren - 13k - M “That’s one of the meanings of peace, he thinks, as Hermione hugs him...That he can do things slowly, softly, without worrying that they won’t be there tomorrow.” --andromeda taking harry under her wing and harry finding solace in teddy. narcissa and draco showing up and the tentative relationships that slowly develop in the quiet calm of andromeda’s house. found families and kisses in the snow and special xmas gifts ugh what’s not to love -

The Moon Looks Lovely Tonight by Omi_Ohmy - 35k - M “I want this to be a house where people are welcome, where they don’t have to be any one way or another” --in which harry collects lost things--owls, best friends, inept bakers, potions experimenters--and turns the mausoleum that is grimmauld place into a home. feat. your fave drarry tropes like shared-beds and reluctant waltzing partners. -

Sheila is in North Dakota for a pickleball tournament. When I have the house to myself I tend to make my own honey-do list. Though I managed to squeeze in a short nap (because Ella wanted it) I did a lot of other stuff. And it’s only Saturday.

The usual cleaning happened. A while ago I posted about my Bissell Steam Shot. I like that little steam cleaner. The Instant Pots (don’t ask how many are in this house) and the coffee maker have accumulated grime in hard to reach spaces. Steam blasted away all the crud.

I removed the stoppers from the bathroom sinks. So much long red hair. Ireland uses my bathroom. After clearing the hair I used the Bissell to get rid of crud I saw in the sink traps. Water drains nicely now. No one but me will see how shiny the drain is, but I know, and it makes me feel good.

Sheila’s scooter is now winterized. In the process I cleaned and reorganized the garage. It seems huge now, with everything put away properly. I am planning to ride a bit longer, so my motorcycle isn’t winterized yet. The snowblower started up easily. I’m ready for snow.

I was going to put Christmas lights on the front of the house. This summer we had gutter covers installed, so the clips I used in the past to hold the wires don’t work anymore. The Internet confirmed I’m not the only one in this situation. My order of wire hooks that work with gutter covers will be here next week.

The dogs and I went to the airport dog park in the morning. My favorite bakery has been robbed twice in a month. Now cash isn’t accepted. The bakery used to only allow cards if the amount was over $5. They’ll take plastic for smaller purchases now, but I think next time I’ll be sure to buy some bread and other things beside the donuts the dogs get.

This evening the dogs and I walked around a Minneapolis lake. At the end we passed an very elderly couple sitting on a bench. He was wearing his WW2 veteran hat. They were giving treats to dogs. Oliver was very happy with this. Ella usually won’t take treats from strangers. This time she trusted the couple.

Now I’m winding down the day with a beer Sheila brought back from her trip to the Outer Banks. Thought Police IPA. I like it. The dogs are too tired to beg for a taste.

#Seriously so much long red hair
