Black Cable Tie Tweak redux

Posted by geoffkait on December 24, 2012 at 05:38:49

Black Cable Tie Tweak. Just in time for Christmas!

Here's a fun little project. Count the number of drain spouts on your house or apt building - drain outs are the long, 6" diameter vertical metal pipes that run from the roof gutters to the ground. You might know them better as waterspouts, downspouts, roof drain pipes or some other arcane word or terminology so don't bust my balls. Obtain enough 14" black cable ties from Home Depot so you'll have one black cable tie for each drain spout. IIRC 14" black cable ties come in a pack of 10 which is almost certainly enough unless you live in Buckingham Palace. If you encounter a drain spout that's too wide for the 14" cable tie, use two cable ties per drain spout.

Place all 14" black cable ties in the freezer overnight (about 12 hours). Remove cable ties the next day and allow them to thaw to room temperature. Secure one black cable tie snugly around each drain spout at a point approximately one foot up from the bottom opening of the pipe near the ground. After all cable ties are in place go listen to some favorite recordings.

Cheers
