Seamless gutters

Roof gutters have been installed. These are the seamless type that comes out of a special machine riding on a trailer. It bends a flat aluminum sheet fed from a roll and comes out perfectly straight to be sheared off at the exact length. They had white or dark brown (it can be flipped before feeding the machine).

The L-corner came together well, but took some fussing. I had to notch-cut the bottom of the 1x6 fascia board. The simplicity of their attachment was screws and brackets every four feet into the rafter tails (through my redwood fascia board). Ends were crimped, then sealant applied from the inside. They made good money for $390, which was the best price I could find within a few days.

Later I'll paint it the same light-brown to match.
