Water mitigation, installing underground drains.

It’s possible that a Swayze may be required.

so Friday is digger day, measuring the gutters for covers today, DMV tomorrow.

thinking of getting these this time. the raptors were great, but pricier than these.

To me ... gutter guards just trap stuff under them, with no way to get to it.

"Contractor Grade"
"Military Spec"

Not sure which is worse

It's Florida mang. You just tell those trees if they drop shit in your gutters you will shoot the living shit out of them!

there is no way for anything to get into them. i put them on my last house and checked them every spring and fall. they were always clear.

My mom's are full of the dust and crud that gets past the guards.


Yeah, my current house is clear and don't even have guards.

Guess it depends on the trees.

She has oak and pecan trees. Full of the tassels that fall off then later form the nuts. Tons of that stuff, that is finer than dust.

Alright not just this site or just mobile. Some gateway issue happening between me and my forum sites.

FB and Twitter seem to be working, but not MLP, TDPRI, or Strat-Talk.

It's happening! The web is f*cked up!

A hard rain should clear that. Perhaps the pitch on the gutters is off. Had to have mine adjusted

Agreed.

i may adjust mine for a better pitch.

Not that it would take more than a day for anything up there to evaporate.

Truth.

I had the screen/guards put on when the eavestroughs were redone a few years ago. The neighbor has some big maple trees up close to the property line and they hang over my house.

I've split the cost of pro pruning but its still stupidly expensive. And new bylaws say you can't remove large trees without an arborist report and a permit. PITA.

The gutter guards mean I only have to go on the roof once or twice a year instead of once a month!

my patio cover has a gutter but not a normal one, so the mesh covers won't work. i used foam inserts, which are not the best option, but the only thing i can get for that area.

i should test it with the hose.

pics later but all the trench digging is done and the pvc is laid. still have to connect some downspouts today i will do so in short bursts, it's hot today.

other yard leveling and weed removal in process as well.

i was awake at sunrise, and the back yard solar lights were still on, that's a good sign.

my fence belongs to the dark side.

I got the two north downspouts secured solid. We only have to sus out about nine feet to connect and be done.

we'll be done by 2pm tomorrow,
latest.
