Trig for measuring gutters from the ground
You will be happy to know that our house is 17' tall. We first measured with the laser. I then got the rickety old ladder out and measured by flinging the tape to the gutter and measuring from there. I have video of the laser remeasure to share with you and the math.
After the measuring was complete we watched a TV lecture about robotic cars. I brought in the gutter cleaning robot for Craig to cuddle up to while we watched it. I have such a fortunate and geeky life!
FYI-you should have seen Craig's irritated expression when I told him that 5 and 1/8th inch was the same as 5.18 inches. It really is too easy to tease him.
I just wanted to share. I'm writing like mad to finish up draft 1 of my PNSQC paper. I hope the reviewers like it. I'm really open to input and I just want so much to present and discuss this topic with others. I'm considering doing the poster paper just so I can hear the ideas others have on it.

I'm all for doing household tasks with math, lasers, and sometimes cats.
