" What size gutters that we have here and there are a lot lines and wiley used to buy by -- and that's the profile. And this is a hundred year old piece of wood right and hundreds once he's got. And it that if something in -- binding on them yet but it has to be this big to carry the amount of rain water that's. Being shed by this gambrel roof a lot of life and this so how do you solve this quandary they don't make these anymore all right then it."
" Right forward what we've been here as we took just bought four by six got -- and we've -- that -- half that we looked at topped off. We got another piece of little wave through it yeah yeah and glue them all back together. And this is more practical than trying to actually -- Iran gutter out of one big. Gigantic piece of I've done for the these -- awful big blades. But the shape of exactly so these are already installed up there right -- And here's a here's an interesting place a look at where you've had to join together now why don't you just butt joint piece is a better like this when -- re doing repairs or would make a 45 cut. Call Scott joint. This -- war the who area of law. Security in -- right here if you just made a regular cut through just have this -- here to glue on -- I have an angled cut. You've got much more exactly surface. To nail -- and what did I interrupt just."
" Now -- this all about lowering -- open up the plant should be canal and one of the things we have to be sure to do is continue -- ventilation because an olive green insulating this whole house to paint and so put a soffit vent fan in it. As so. The -- and we've got face piece on how we just put it for the back piece on. And then you put another one back here and that fills in the flat part of the overhang which is referred to -- I was Blanchard. And then there's no real -- just a little bit of molding here."
" Okay here on the southeast corner of the house we incident at the completed. Blanchard dieted off right with a painting and again. And trim tasted the identical to what was here to begin -- and the built up gutter of course. But what's the what's the story -- copper. Well I wooden gutter to begin with there's not an ideal god. We have taken this one and laminated it so it's in pieces now -- you can't really expect that that stand the test of time. -- Zell glued together yeah we've done it for restoration purposes so that we have the look. That's right of what was here before -- so going to do it is lying everything with a cop -- And and now will live this to stay -- for decades to come. Stan copper liner should last practically a century right and we have Fred Mitchell here on hand and he hi Byron. Bob. -- that this can work this is very impressive work now. Your specialty is copper work on roofs flashing and gutters and the Mike why wouldn't have needed. And what are we interrupting here you've already -- one of the joints."
" We side of the joint put an 884 flank fits your -- liner possible -- and that'll make up around outlets. Side of the vaccine. Cut the whole exact."
" So this has been just made up out of the sheet metal right off sniffed around and there it has the curve. To fit into the curve of the gutter are you ready to solder."
" And we -- the vaccine that's not put them hoping you'd. It falls right -- We put on -- different. Liquid flux. Make this ought to stick otherwise it roll Graf will pop -- expect. And -- you gotten cheating don't we go to our lions and up small propane tank. And would be answered the nine just the way heat wolf. Possibly catch one side then the other side so it's not going to shift is the -- led. Happen half. We're still allowed the roofers are allowed to used. Pat and half plumbers I think -- 95 and why is that right Bob well what happened after what happened what. What kept him in -- ego. You right."
" Yeah this is not going to come in contact with any kind of water that consumed. On the house to Rainwater. All right so that shouldn't be any problem for many years to come. Now the next question I have credits how do you manufacture this obviously this has been bent on a break. What and you've gotten a nice drip edge on it and everything but then up here are you gonna bend -- did."
" Pulled over. Well you believe that -- laugh the not find guests don't all think where it's gonna be because in -- plot or little it's it's a mistake and I can format with the little. Two by six and so you just take this just take this and hold it just part of the roof line. And then what your hand in my -- over quite amusing and it ends right here at night at all. Slide it up a couple of infants -- my hand. -- go on like that. You can see it as you can see it definitely going to play again and it's fine so -- to be -- your fingernail and into the wood and almost guy but you're doing the whole thing DuPont makes it easy with your thumb yeah yeah and then you nail it right through -- nailer right up."
