Had some stuff done a few months ago on the roof. Turns out the dudes just cut the downpipe and used a brick to keep it in place without reconnecting it. I only worked that out the other day after that rain.

Was wondering why the rose next to it was having a great time:

Should be an easy fix (was just gonna use PVC glue and that PVC rubber tape stuff) but jeez a bit of a poor effort. Getting people in for such small jobs (or getting them back to fix their fuck ups) is hard today.

Stunning rose, but caused by the bane of all our existences: the slacklustre tradie.

Don't even need to glue, could just cuff it
