I bought a house and would like to considering putting a vegetable garden is. I’ve learned (1st time home-buyer) that water is the biggest enemy of a foundation (hence the point of splash guards under gutters) Is it “safe” to put a garden next to a house? Is there anyway to minimize/eliminate the issues with the water? Or, is it just a bad idea? ….Thanks!

I consider myself a patriotic American.

I wish to serve my country but I don’t support the wars that we are fighting.

I’m 17, 5′7, and 127 pounds. I can do ~50 pushups but my cardio is in the gutter.

I wish to serve because I wish to give back to this nation. The educational and financial opportunities are a plus. I also get to obtain experience and it might come in handy if I wish to get into politics in the future.

The problem is that I’m afraid to get family approval. I come from a family of liberals that do not support the military what so ever (except for my aunt who was a veteran of the Gulf War). They say that people in the military are stupid and blindly patriotic. I get angry every time I hear them talk down on this country. So yea, I’m one of the few conservatives in my family.

There are many different kinds of gutter protection systems available today. The different basic types of systems include gutter guards , gutter covers, gutter screens, or gutter filters. All of them are intended to let the water drain into the rain gutter while keeping possible debris (leaves, tree flowers, seeds, seed pods, twigs, etc.) out of the gutter.

Without any protection system, debris will collect in the gutter, partially or completely blocking the planned flow down the downspout. If the rain gutter becomes full of water, it will then flow over the edge, falling to the ground or running down the fascia board or the wall of the house. Various kinds of damage can result. To avoid these problems the homeowner needs to regularly clean all debris out of the rain gutters, or install some kind of gutter protection system.

Different strategies are used in different system designs. Some use some type of coarse screen or plate with small holes or slots. The water goes through the holes, the debris doesn’t. Often the debris remains on the surface, dries out later, and is blown off by the wind. Essentially, this is also the principle of the new filter device, which uses open cell foam instead of a screen. Other systems will create a flow pattern where the water goes one direction and the debris another.

If the particular device is completely successful, only water will enter the gutter and there will be no debris to accumulate there. As a result, the homeowner should never have to clean out the rain gutters again. If the system is less successful, there may be some debris that accumulates. Most of these systems greatly reduce the requirements for periodic maintenance, but do not entirely eliminate it.

The different names are not definitive. Covers and guards both may have holes in them, or not. It seems more a matter of choice by the manufacturer as to what someone thought sounded best. So, if you decide to install such a system, how much will it cost? Here is a little information to get you started in the right direction. The two most common gutter types are K-style or half-round gutters. Different types of covers, screens, et cetera have different features. They may be made from aluminum, steel, copper, polypropylene, a special polypropylene foam, or PVC. Go to GutterSupply.com for descriptions of many different types and styles.

The least expensive material available at GutterSupply.com is a Diamond PVC Snap-In Cover. It comes in three-foot sections and costs $0.58 per foot. If the average house requires 120 feet of rain gutter, the material threshold price for the least expensive type of gutter cover job is around $70, not including any additional clips or hangers, if required. The next step up, cost-wise, in the cover group is more than twice as much, at $1.77 per foot in 4-foot sections. The base material cost for the average house has now jumped to around $215. The most expensive basic material in this group is for a cover made of powder coated steel at $3.75 per foot. This style of cover, in copper, goes for $7 per foot.

As a group, aluminum or steel gutter screens are the least expensive. Typically, they come in precut sections three or four feet long. They are available to fit either K-style or half-round gutters. Installation consists of laying the screen into the gutter or clipping the screen onto the gutter. Retail prices for the material run from $0.82 per foot to $1.36. Some kinds of screens are also available in copper. The cost for copper is considerably more, up to $5.04 per foot. If the average house requires 120 feet of rain gutter, the base material threshold price for the least expensive type of gutter screen is around $100 to $165. Of course, this does not include installation.

The group of hybrid gutter guards includes different styles and designs ranging from $0.89 per foot to $4.30 per foot. Materials include aluminum, copper, or polypropylene.

A gutter filter system is the most expensive of the non-copper systems. It consists of a specially shaped block of polyether-polyurethane foam as the filter material. This block completely fills the K-style or half-round gutter, providing a flat surface top. The foam blocks come in four foot lengths and are very simple to install. The price for this system runs $5.30 to $7.70 per foot depending on the type and size of your gutters. This puts the base material cost at $640 to $925 for our average size home.

We have a total range of material cost (not including installation) for 120 feet of a gutter protection product that ranges from $70 to $925. However, most of the products cost between $1 and $2 per foot, so the material cost for an average house requiring 120 feet would be $120 to $240 plus installation. You get rid of some repetitive home maintenance work and guard your house against various kinds of serious damage.

Princess2B asked:


So, I have a very big backyard because I live in the suburbs. It’s Spring and I found a nest on the top of a gutter pipe. This nest had two parents who were Robins and 2 baby birds. They were happy there for a while and neither me or my neighbor (the pipe was between me and my neighbor’s house we have a twin house) disturbed them. But one day, it was before the babies learned how to fly, the nest came down with a thud. It fell down because the nest wasn’t sturdy. The parents were ok and one of the babies were too. But the other baby’s leg is broken. The baby that was ok jumped to my neighbor’s property, and we brought the broken one (with the nest) over to our property, since it was nearest. Now the mom is feeding both of them and taking care of them. When ever the babies call her, she comes right away. Whenever there is danger, the father comes and tweets like crazy. SO, they are surviving. Me and my neighbor are doing everything we can to help them feel comfortable.

But the problem is that there is this cat roaming around at night. Since the birds are sleeping, anything can happen. We keep on trying to be on our guard but what can we do? We don’t know who the cat belongs to, but it looks well fed. We are really scared! We don’t know what to do! Can you help me and give me some tips? I would really like that!

We just bought a house this past summer that is surrounded by tall pine needley trees. Every time it gets windy the gutter gets full of needles. We have several leaks in the house and we’re thinking the gutters are clogged. What would be the best thing to do? We can’t possible keep up with it by getting them cleaned the next week they would be full again.What’s the best kind of “gutter guard”? My husband and I are oblivious to home maintenance, we’re learning.
