| The house gets seamless aluminum gutters from the same place that did my pole barn. The installer did a nice job so I had them back. On the first day they made all the section and just tacked them up, then started on the downspouts. |

| On the second day they came back to finish. The tacked-up gutters were permanently installed with SS button-head gutters screws (a special order I made them buy) and SS ferrules I made out of long tubing. It's a sturdy install-- you could hang on those gutters, and the SS will never lose its shine. They then finished the downspouts, touched up some paint that wore off the poorly-packed downspout components, and were done. |

| On the third day I finished the downspout drainage. On the West side of the house, they run to the French drain; everywhere else they run downhill. A townie was replacing his old Spanish tile roof; I bought 50 tiles for $0.75 apiece, to use inverted for spillways and covers. The ground was frozen solid on the North side of the house, had to hammer-drill a channel! Rock is used to slow the water and keep it from digging holes at the channel ends. |
