So made a start but it isn't easy working with the vine in the way, but it ain't coming down
So far I have release the brown gutter, and those clips were hard to release, also fitted one angle piece to its end and added a short section to the other side of the angle.
Next is to measure that short section and cut that " link section" for the other angle piece so it meets up with the black gutter.
I haven't forgotten to measure 3/4 times and cut once
Then it is just a question of removing all the clips that held the brown gutter and re fixing to get the brown gutter to slope the other way
So far discovered they even "bodged" the length of the brown gutter, "how can you not measure a length of gutter correctly". So they put in a through joint and added about 8 inches of another gutter, not even the same colours.
The cockups they made,and it was the previous owners building firm that did the jobs around the house.
Everything they touched the messed up , no wonder his firm went bust.
Just one example below
have you ever seen a carpenters extended wood clamp keep roof supports apart ?
Well now you have. Why not use a bit of timber instead?
I have not done so as when showing people they just can't believe it
The whole place was like school kids let loose who hadn't got a clue.
99 percent I have now fixed, this gutter project is about the last things
