Straight From the Gutter

The gutters on our house are original, and it shows. I'd patched a couple of leaky spots back in 2006, but now with the wicked freeze/thaw cycles of this winter, it looks like the caulk has failed and they're dripping again from the same spots. So add that to the list for 2008 - new gutters. Oh joy.

Be glad yours are low enough to reach with a stepladder! Should be no big deal.

I knew it was coming, I was hoping it could be put off a little longer tho. I have been wanting to redo the boxed gutters around the back porch, which fill with debris in no time...and as long as I'm up on the ladder, might as well take care of that too.

Plus, they're cheap (relatively speaking!)

Okay, got a plan....use the income tax refund for insulation, and apply the new $300 tax 'rebate' toward the gutters.
