Gutters

I finally got around to re-hanging the gutters. The gutters had been removed when we put on the new roof. I wanted to install fascia boards and then rehang the gutters. I also wanted to re-route the water flow.

All of the water from the front of the house was routed to the drainage tile in the back of the house. When that tile clogged, the water backed up until it started to flow to the front tile. The logical step was to drain the front of the house to the front drainage tile, and the back of the house to the back tile. This should help even out the drainage and eliminate the pooling of water towards the back of the house.
