Gutters

I can't believe snow is in the forecast again.  We have had our fair share this year for sure.  We lost our deck gutter to snow in January. 

 

I went to Home Depot to see what they had in the way of gutters and of course could not find matching colors.  So I went with this vinyl snap together system.  It was really easy and pretty inexpensive.  The most expensive part were the corners at $6, the gutter length was under $5 and the brackets were under $2.

 

They are self sealing so you don't even have to use caulking.

 

In just a few hours we had replaced it.  This system also had gutter helmets for under $5 a section so I think we will try them out to see if it makes a difference, we are surrounded by big leaf maple tress that hopelessly clog them in the fall.

 I am very happy with the results.  I think little by little we will replace all the gutters on the house with this system.

Thanks everyone for all your kind words about my Dad and for welcoming me back.  It feels all warm and snuggy.

I think people have forgotten how important gutters are! Glad to see you found a system you like. Keeping the water away from the house is so important. Great job.

The gutters look really fab, I SO wish we had a similar system (as inexpensive as well!) in the UK.

I am so glad that you're back m'dear, you were dearly missed!

A bucket truck or forestry truck would be great to use to get up to the top gutters.
