    "Oh-Oh" - a variation of 0.25 inch on a rung of 61 feet on a roof built in 1984.

    It's so heartwarming to see your kids in the background of every video, engaging in the classic childhood activities that remind me of my own pre-video game days. Almost all children today are not around parents learning from them but are locked away watching or playing something. Your natural parenting style really shines through, even when you're not trying. You're doing a wonderful job!

    On your vent being that large, I would recommend making some type of screening to keep unwanted critters out, such as squirrels. They love PVC for some reason, bats and mice too can be a nuisance. Squirrels are known to climb up the side of walls or gutter down spouts if you ever install then. If you do, only use a metal wire, not PVC, they'll eat it.
