... gutter

Everyone who reads the blog knows about the new roof (and I'm too lazy to link to that post right now - so you'll just have to scroll down to see it). The problem, of course, is that the gutters had to come down for that roof. Actually, the gutters were coming down - which was part of the problem.

While we pretty much knew we'd have to put gutters on the house relatively soon, we were hoping that a general distribution of watershed from the roof would be better than the concentrated downpours we got in spots with the old situation. However, we also knew that the two valleys in the roof that emptied onto the flat roof on the front and back porches wasn't going to be a great thing.

Heavy rainfall can teach you things.

Such as this one: Heck with the budget, you need to put gutters on the house.
Corollary: Failure to put gutters on the house can lead to many more budget busters.

Brothers Construction took care of the installation - looks like we might be testing them out later today? Radar gives a definitive maybe.
