THANKS, 49

Those look like they would do the job.

Mine are like this attachment - very fine of screen, and sloped too much - water constantly drips off the edge of the gutter when it rains.  I need to get something different.

Do you have any maple whirligigs?  That's another problem here - those things get caught in a lot of designs if the holes are too big.

Thanks for the time you spent! yours look similar to the ones I saw at the local hardware.

Okay; looks like they are "Shur-Flo" brand, original design. Here is their website.

Made in Wisconsin!!! We all hate cleaning gutters!

I couldn't find the name on them; they were on when we bought the place. I am still doing some snookping on the 'net, tho. If I find them I'll post a link.

Hey, GB; here is a pic of the gutter guard on my roof gutters. The holes are about 1/8".

Our weather has set in for the winter now, it gets dark before 4pm and doesn't get light until 8am, We can expect wind and rain every day with about a month of ice and/or snow, probably until may when the rain will ease off into showers.. I have been retired from work for many years now and so I don't have to ride in bad weather any more and although I sometimes feel a little guilty about you poor people who still have to ride to work in all weather..

John.

Thats okay, GB, I have to put the ladder up on the shop as soon as the frost is off the roof; never got warm enough today. I'll take a look at that time.

Thanks for your 'concern', D1......you might want to be concerned for my poor little wife.....she's the one standing under lil' old graceful me, holding the ladder.......hoping and praying I don't fall on her.....lol

I'll drag out the extension ladder and get you some pics, and if possible the name of them.

You don't have to get the ladder out - too much work.  Maybe just find "like" ones on google or something and let me know...  Dont' go to that much trouble.

49 Do you happen to know the name brand of those gutter guards?  or have a pic?  Since you say they work good, thought I'd ask.  I have some real expensive gutter guards on this house (PO put then on) - they are very fine screen - but heavy rain runs over them.  I'm trying to find something to replace them - having trouble finding something that works.

Mrs Bride White Plains is a nice little airport for sure . I work in that area so know it very well . Tappen zee bridge has a ton of construction going on at the moment with a new one being built . The water is filled with floating cranes and looks nice first thing in the morning , just like a poster or picture .

Well it's going to reach 60* tomorrow so It will be a great day for a planned fun filled riding  Veteran's Day .

Have a great, safe ride for Veteran's Day...that goes to anyone else who is riding today, too!

This last visit I took to NJ, I flew into Atlantic City, so I didn't see the construction on the TZ bridge.  It is amazing work to witness, though, I'll check it out on line and maybe be able to see it on my next trip.   :)

And, Mz. 2beers (Bride), lady, where are the pics of YOUR beautiful fall foliage ride?  Our leaves were gone a couple weeks ago!!

GB, I must admit, I never stopped to point and shoot. Georgia doesn't believe in having shoulders on roads lol, so there wasn't a safe place to pull over anyway.  Maybe if we get up to the mountains in the next week or so, I'll be able to oblige  :)

I need to learn how to resize the picture's and remember Troll explaining to me at one point , but still a no go on my end  ??? Never use to have this problem before so sorry I can't share the beautiful scenery and such  :-[

Yep, we're famiiliar with that area!  I usually fly into White Plains, it's the same distance to Mom's from there as it is from Newark.  No brainer to me to view the Tappan Zee rather than the NJ Turnpike.

I might just spring a bike from it's slumber if the weather is as nice as it is supposed to be tomorrow. That is, if I get the gutters cleaned out, snow-tires on the cage and the snow-blower prepped.

All too soon this will be the picture of my driveway.

It was pretty cool over the weekend, and I had too many chores to do to ride.

But today got up to low 60's so rode the 800 to work after lunch.  It was nice this afternoon, but pretty chilly this evening at 6 after dark.    Maybe it will be nice enough tomorrow too.

.... Did a nice 200 mile ride yesterday and actually stopped up at Perkin's Point . This overlooks Bear Mtn Bridge and was a beautiful scenery this time off year .

And the pictures of the beautiful scenery are WHERE???

The house we are in had covers for the gutters; they are perforated, clip on to the gutters, and work great. We get no leaves in our gutters. Might be something to use..... more Drifter time with no gutters to clean....  :D

Glad to hear you were able to toss the list to the side yesterday , Bride . That's funny and I'm sure you told 2beers all about the beautiful foliage ... LOL ...

Bear Mtn Bridge

Yes, D1, I did inform him about my day, lol, and he was happy to hear about it...the crazy schedule we've led lately has found him riding a good bit when I'm working.  I needed to catch up on riding time!

Bear Mtn Bridge is somewhere we used to ride or drive to back in our younger years...we're originally from North Jersey and that was a Sunday trip destination.  I was visiting Mom a couple of weeks ago and took her up around Greenwood Lake for the first time in about 20 years...she enjoyed it.
