Is this something that only bothers Northerners who are used to gutters all around?

Hi Ohiogirl,
It's not just a Northerner thing. We have gutters all around in Atlanta and it would be a problem if we did not. We have that hard Georgia clay (as well as a basement) and hard rains would surely dig trenches. Maybe the sandy soil and lack of basements make them somewhat less necessary in Florida.
