There is a lot going on at the house this week. Here\u2019s how they put in the gutters.<\/p>\n

\"Machine

The truck has a machine that makes gutter. The material starts as a roll of metal.<\/p>\n

\"The
The screws are started to make it easy to attach. (This is not the first piece they made.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

First they measured. Then they made a section of seamless gutter the right length. They applied gutter sealant to the end caps, and then pressed the caps onto each end of the gutter. They put in the hangers. After they completed the gutter, they started all of the screws. Then they attached the gutter to the fascia.<\/p>\n

\"Snipping

Next they attached the downspouts. They marked where the downspout will go, and then drilled a hole to start. Using snips, he cut out for the elbow. The installer used silicon where the parts come together.<\/p>\n

\"Cutting
Cutting the downspout<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Cutting downspout is a two man job.<\/p>\n

\"Cutting

The installers measured and cut the downspout.<\/p>\n

\"Flexible

Then one guy attached a piece of flexible downspout to the bottom.<\/p>\n

They attached straps to the wall.<\/p>\n

\"The

Then they pushed the downspout onto the elbow.<\/p>\n

\"Screwing

They screwed the straps to the downspout.<\/p>\n

Earlier the graders had dug trenches and put in downspout drain lines to conduct water away from the foundation at ground level.<\/p>\n

\"Fitting

The gutter installers pushed the flexible accordion part they had screwed on into the downspout drain lines.<\/p>\n

Where the roof has valleys that would direct more rain, they put on gutter splash guards.<\/p>\n

Here is another view. The gutter is attached to the elbow, then to the downspout, which is strapped to the house. That’s it!<\/p>\n
