Any Gunk

So, this weekend we also put some extra umph into the gutters. The painters fixed the problem we were having with water running behind the gutters (by installing flexible adhesive flashing under the shingles and down into the gutters). We added some metal netting, to catch maple helicopters and other debris before they could clog up the downspouts and underground pipes.

This is the garage gutter. Note the helicopters.


Here's Rain Rain No Go Away from June 15 last year. And at the bottom of this post is where we put the old metal netting in.

Well, the painters riveted the gutters into place this time, so it is harder to clean out the debris - the gutter downspouts are totally fixed in place. So, we had to move the netting so it is accessible from the "clean out plug", and we can more easily remove any gunk that collects.



I didn't take pictures of or on my climb to the second story in the front of the house. Didn't want to jinx it, but thank goodness we had a strong aluminum ladder. That was a little scary.

PS
A major slug onslaught last night caused massive moss casualties. This is a challenging art project. Need to reinforce the slug shield. If you zoom in, you can see all the slug slime... taunting me.
