Fair, bright, cool, clear day. Arose 8 A.M. Breakfast etc. Father & I cleaned out and mended gutters on houses & barn. Have miserable cold. Took nap. Supper. Home in evening. To bed 9 P.M.

Apparently, solder was used to repair gutters on houses back in 1922, according to one article found in an April 1922 edition of Printers Ink, a journal of advertising. I can picture Stanford and his father doing such a repair. Such repairs may still be done today. Here is a photo of a gutter being installed with seams being soldered.
