TIL what an eavestrough is

Lol. You mean gutters?

Yeah...what kind of Canadian word is eavestrough?

I'd just like to formally thank all of you for your helpful advice, and I would invite you to please cast your gaze towards the middle finger of my right hand as it slowly raises.

If it originally had gutters the catastrophic thing happens with the first rain. It’s a very slow thing at first. The recommended amount of time without is zero. Failing that the delay before remedy needs to be an earnest ASAP preferably with a competent inspection and tear out and replacement as needed once installation begins. If the house were originally built without gutters it could be a different story.

The installer removed the old ones and was supposed to put the new ones on tomorrow but he brought the wrong color, or shade of color I guess. So he was trying to claim it would take weeks to fix it, I said get it done this week. It's been worked out... Hopefully... $1500 CAD flat for fascia, troughs, downspouts and covers... in the slightly wrong shade, done tomorrow...

You like dropping cash on all the boring house stuff huh

Dude, in Canadian dollars in the Toronto housing market that's a damn steal of a price. But no, I hate this. My Okki Nokki broke again so I gotta throw that out and buy something fancier. I want the money for that.

TIL Americans don't call them eavestroughs.

Okki's not gonna replace? Or was it a second hand unit?

@BjorgenFjorgen well the phrase down here is most certainly not "get your head outta the eavestrough"

@Melt Face Molly Drop I guess we use gutters too but to me gutters are in the street.

Building gutters usually dump into street gutters (in the city at least), so I feel like it's just one happy gutter ecosystem.
