Gutters! How exciting!

We've been in our house 15 years now....and we're just now getting around to installing gutters. (I don't know why I always say "we" about these things - because you know it's mostly Duane doing the work!)

Here's the "before" shot. There is not a huge amount that needs gutters - and up until now, the rain just sluiced off onto the ground.


Duane cut to length and assembled the gutters in the hangar.


Then attached the hanging brackets to the house.


And voila! all done. Now we just need a big rain to test them out!!

mom - cute that you noticed the ladder "guards" - he was scuffing the siding, so i threw the dishrags up over the ends of the ladder....what's a girl to do????


marianne - yeah, i couldn't figure a better word for water tumbling off in sheets... i was thinking of a gold mine.....and how the water would "sluice" down the channel....

love, k
