We decided to get a new roof and gutters. These old gutters are 78 years old and leaking in the corners, so we finally decided to quit repairing leaks and just replace all of them. This photo shows the beginning of the removal process. That gutter on the rear of our house was hit by a falling tree during a windstorm about ten years ago. It split lengthwise so I glued it back together and it held water for most of those ten years.
The gutters were nailed directly to the 2X4 just under the roof shingles. We repaired the water damage in the corners.
We added a strip of TYCOR as a vapor barrier that bridges between the 2X4 and the top board of siding.
We added a strip of one inch thick cedar fascia board over the top of the TYCOR and painted it gloss white, which hopefully will match the color of the new gutters.
Here's the finished entry with the lighted address and doorbell back in place. I forgot to replace the handrail before taking this photo.
