6. I just cleaned mine last weekend.

Second story was a bitch. Tile roof so I can't walk on it. Had to lean the ladder against them w/o crushing them but pulled if off w/o killing myself.

7. I'd like to have some

but that would depend on getting the porch built first. Since it was determined today that the contractor cut the posts about a foot too short, it looks like the whole structure is coming down and being rebuilt.

8. So, what does everyone think of that new design with leaf guards?

You know, the ones designed to never get clogged up with crud

9. Expensive

That's what I think.

The former owner of this house created his own gutter guards. They seem to work fairly well - it's just some sort of screen.

I would put them on higher-up parts of the roof, but on the lower sections it is pretty easy to get up on a ladder and clean them. We've used a modified gallon milk carton to scoop the stuff out.

12. Well, I'm an Amateur, and When I Put Some on

had to take them down because they needed to down-cline at a 5 degree angle. So Those are all right now. But 5 or more years ago, another stretch in the backyard garage--------I put them in LEVEL, and I haven't gotten around to doing the INCLINE thing--------SO, when it rains, that stretch of gutter STANKS up, possibly breeding mosquitos. Gotta take it down and re-install. What was the question?
