Default Re: GUTTER & DOWNSPOUT AT ENTRY OF HOME.

:bigthumbsup: We have a Amarillo ranch with front gutters and downspouts. When we sat on our lanai last October, I noticed that the water (dew) was dripping down on the concrete. We asked our neighbor and he gave me a name to have the rear gutters installed. We had to leave to come back north, but he came on a Sunday and put up the gutters and 2 downspouts. ~$300. Did a very neat job. He also checked on the front gutters. He found that they were loose and needed fixing, which he did. I noticed that when the water dripped off of the roof, it was making holes in the soil around the house. I thought that the holes were bugs. But, now I don't have the dripping. Plan on visiting again with our friends in October. Hopefully, we will retire in May, 2009. JanetandCarol
