TOH is using an Alcoa hooked back style. Most places only sell straight back gutters. Hmm choices! I'm guessing that the Alcoa's are better.
Average homeowner will take a week to figure this out no guarantees. come out right
god please no one ever install gutters this way.... everything this man said is wrong
I want to know how Tom got Legs-A-Plenty up on the ladder with him?
Thank you!
2:28 He a brave dude with her on one end bout to turn that rig into a teeter totter.
Where do they find these guys ! Horrible installation advice.Gutters should be installed tight to the shingles.If there is a
bad balance issue add a downspout. It is common on the west coast of water in the gutter. It is not a sink !
Gutters work better when the gutters have a lip on them to fit under the shingles......
