Then of course to install the gutters and seal the corner. Clip on the hinged copper screens and figure out how the downspout needs to go and fabricate that part. |

Here is the installed gutter on the lower entry roof. The gutter to the left looks like it was installed slanted way too much, but it only has a slight slope towards the outlet. The porch had settled a great deal. This is a common issue, since the Builder rarely builds a firm foundation under porches, like they do under the house frame.
I also had this trouble setting the gutters on the upper roof, since that roof is resting on the porch. I stopped again to discuss this with the Kistlers, telling them that the best placement for the downspout would be mounted on the corner post. But they wanted the outlet and downspout to be back on the house corner. It was so out of level that in the short 5' 8.5" from the front outside corner to the back inside corner the gutter had to drop so much that the bottom of the gutter was a few inches below the bottom edge of the fascia board, instead of well above it. There was nothing I could do to improve it without having the porch lifted. If I had mounted the gutter straight with the roof edge, the water could not go down the downspout. It would have to fill the gutter and dump off the end of the outer corner. IT was that far settled. |
