No good….help!

A while back a friend offered to help fix my gutters. In the process, he stood on my swamp cooler and, once the weather got bad, I discovered this caused the seal around it to break and, subsequently, water was leaking into my house. This was not discovered because I saw water coming in rather, because my wellies – which rest just below my swamp cooler – were full of water.

 

Fast forward to now and I find the ‘good’ help provided has, yet again, resulted in more water problems: my gutter is completely falling off.

 

To be fair, this may not be a direct result of the help provided last year, but the problem gutter is the same problem gutter that was ‘fixed’ last year.

 

This year, this gutter is pushing gallons of water into my back bedroom – something that is not going to help my reviews on TripAdvisor.

 

Not able to wait for repairs, due to the fact that I’ve got gallons of water coming into my house, I decided to do a quick fix myself.

 

Thus, I grabbed my wellies – fortunately they have dried out since last year’s water problems, a pancho, some zip ties, and a ladder and did what I should have done on my own last year: zip tied the gutter to the roof strap. Fingers crossed and straps zipped that this will work!
