Steel gutters?.....

 

Another issue with the latest project was that someone had installed steel gutters on the house. What the problem with steel gutters you may ask.......well steel rust and gutters hold water not a combo made in heaven. 90% of the gutters on this house had no bottoms. With gutters purpose to help water get away from the structure, the rusted out gutters actual hindered this process.

This caused some damage to some of the exterior siding and windows. Here's a pic of one of the bay windows actual pretty extensively damaged due to the moisture. Not any thing daddy Dave can't fix but another project for another not so rainy day. The gutters have been removed they were also keeping moisture agianst the eves.
