Ehehe. It has been a long time since that came to mind as a title for this particular post.
In March I had quotes to have a new window installed into the front bedroom and a second quote to have the the gutters replaced all around my house. Good home maintenance includes cleaning gutters - but if you are like me (and as I got older I became more concerned about the distances between me and the ground) the concept of climbing a rickety ladder to clean out gutters is an easy thing to think about but a difficult thing to actually DO...
In my efforts to ensure my house is maintained properly, I look for ways to make maintenance efforts light and impact heavy. Clean-free gutters scores a HUGE gold star for this. Essentially they are gutters with built in screening to make cleaning a thing of the past - yes, even out here on the green coast!
Old gutters pulled off - yuk - the crud that had built up in them was actually GROWING stuff!
 |
| Ugh - look at the crud in there! |
 |
| Ugly old brown gutters! |
New gutters installed - this was the super cool part - the truck has this machine in it that actually molds out the new gutter AND the built in screen all in one go! The basically just walk it out as long as it needs to be - meaning that the gutters along the length of the house are all one continuous piece (think no seams and therefore no leaks!) and they cut in drain spouts where needed!
The new gutters are black (and look REALLY sharp) and have a low profile to the house - so they blend right in!
 |
| Excellent clean profile to the house... but I can see I will next have to have all of the soffits replaced! |
 |
| Clean line along the side of the house |
 |
| Oh - and this one actually has a cleaning trap in it! |
With love across the waters...
