Oh baby – it’s cold outside! Hope you didn’t forget to clean out your gutters


For those of you who aren’t buried under seven feet of snow, you still have a chance to clean out your gutters before the freeze sets in. If you don’t, you may be having to replace your roof in a couple of years.  Dirty gutters wick moisture onto the roof’s sheathing.  This can cause problems, because once that moisture starts freezing – it expands and compromises the structure.

I cleaned the gutters and installed the guards as I went. The flat section goes up under the shingles.  The channeled section clips into the lip of the gutter.
