Bits of My House are Falling Off.

Happy Imbolc. 20 minutes ago I was startled from my computer by the sound of (what I thought was) snow falling off my roof.  We have experienced a surprisingly deep snow for Virginia- almost a foot.  Yes it was snow...and also my new gutter. ARGH!!  They were cheap and crappy and installed by the previous owner merely to shut us up.  I hold no grudges.  I probably would have done the same.  It's the stuff you do sometimes when you need to sell a house.  I was *hoping* they would last a year or two until I could learn some more about gutters and colonial drainage in particular but no luck.  The education starts now.
