	 There is a small section of a 20oz copper gutters we 
			contracted to replace on the opposite corner of this house for Mr. Masood.  It is 
			in a high security gated area, so you would not be 
			able to get close enough to get a look at the back gutter work we 
			did unless you are strolling the golf coarse behind it.  These copper 
			gutters were to replace the steel concave fascia gutters that had 
			clogged even though they have no tall trees near the house. He had us replace 
			just that back 
			corner of the house that was giving them the most grief for now, and 
			maybe do the whole house later. 
	  
	
	 He did 
			not want us to install leaf screens over the gutters, since there 
			are no trees near the house, even though he would not benefit from 
			our no-clog warranty. On my own initiative I decided make some super 
			sized outlets in them, since his gutters are so hard to access. The 
			old gutter outlets were only 1.5" x 2.5", and these new gutter 
			outlets are 3.25" x 10", which is 867% larger. 
			I later found out that his maintenance teams 
			had never cleaned the gutters and all the old gutters along the back 
			side were completely clogged. The area I worked on just happened to 
			be the lowest area, so that is where the overflow occurred. This portion of 80' of gutter and 47' of 
			downspouts with a white painted aluminum fascia cover cost 
			$2,645.31. There was a good deal of cost for hard 
			installation. As you will see below; our 32' ladder was extended 
			further than it should have been and it still was not long enough 
			for a good position. 
			
	 
			The whole house has over 1,000' of gutters 
			plus the length of all the downspouts. It would have cost another
			
			$24k to finish the gutters, but our work relation eroded 
			through impossible communication issues working through their staff 
			workers, so they will need to find another contractor to finish this 
			house. It would have been quite a feather in our cap, but working on the dormer 
			gutters would have proven to be very challenging to say the least, so it was 
			probably for the best.
