Guttering

This picture may not look like much, but it represents perhaps the most significant piece of work completed so far. See that dry corner, despite the fact that it's hammering down with rain? For forty years the back of this house has had rain splashing back onto it because of missing and malfunctioning gutters. I Have just completed the guttering round the kitchen kick-out - annoying because of four 45 degree angles that I had to cut miters in the guttering for. This is the first time since the house was built that the bottom two feet of siding, and consequently the wood structure behind it, has been dry during wet weather.
