Thoughts for Tuesday - My 2¢ worth...

Every now and then, I run into one of those challenged properties that makes me wonder, "Where is that run-away bulldozer when you need it?" Not that some rehabbers need an improvement on their handy work or anything like that..

The installation of the guttering system really had me scratching my head though. Like WTH were they thinking? Most likely they weren't. Kinda looks like they went out to lunch and never came back doesn't it?

Have a Great Day, Y'all... ;-)

Hi Michael:

And how are they going to secure the down litter on that gutter?

 Amazing!

I'm sorta thinking that they may have had one too many barley pops and forgot which way was back to the home.

Michael, looks like they didn't measure twice on this one. The downspout must be on back order.

The bright spot is that it looks like the gutters don't drain to the foundation!!!

Michael it is so obvious!  They are going to attach another house for the in-laws and they started with the guttering system (up here called eaves troughs) LOL. Now YOU have a grrrr-eat day!  ;)

What is the point of a gutter with no downspout?!? Someone must have been drinking on the job. LOL

Maybe they use it to hang their kid's bouncy jumper thing?... or as a clothes line?

Michael,

Looks like an installer who thinks that longer is always better.

They must've heard adding an extension is a good idea, too bad they got it on the end.

Hi Michael

Very interesting gutter system, thank goodness for homeowners improvements.

Good luck and success.
