AUTO GLASS CLEANING

a milking demonstrations for an audience of Orange County city slickers. I love the look on his face. He looks startled or something...

i grew up on a dairy farm (we didn't own it, i just worked there as a "hired hand") in Kirkville New York and I can honest say that i have seen my fair share of milk cows. I started working there at age 13 and the farm i worked on had about 150 head of cows (actually the whole cows, not just their heads. heads is a figure of speech) that were milked twice daily.

My primary chores was to do the following; feed calves in the morning (4am start), bed down the cows & calves, clean the $#!+ gutters and then run the "honey wagon" out to the fields... all of this happened before heading to school. Many mornings I barely had enough time to shower and catch the school bus.

Then i would come home from school and work at the barn again and this time i would; clean and bed down the cows, feed the cows silage, feed the calves again, clean the milk room. On (many) Sundays i got to do the milking also because the owners would go off to the lake for their only day off. We also bailed hay and straw in the summer and put hay bails up into the loft. That is serious hard work!

it was a good life and now i'm an OC city slicker... but i know what hard work is and i (now) appreciate having that working life early on.

We clean, and reslope the gutters, we also fix as best as we can any leaky miters. The gutters are pitched a little more than usual when contemplating rain barrel installations.
