Not a very interesting job, but just one of those things you find you have to do when you buy a new house. There's always something which needs a bit of attention to make it just right. This little problem stems from a neighbouring tree, which seems to drop leaves throughout the year, and also the occasional dead branch. It's close to the back of our house so we have a continual supply of leaves out the back, and also in the gutter. It doesn't take long to fill the gutter and impede the water flow. I purchased some gutter guard from Bunnings and made some extra supports from strips of aluminium. With the support strips cut to length and fitted in place, the gutter guard was added. The gutter guard sits nice and flat so there is plenty of space below for the water to run to the down pipe, and when the leaves are dry the wind will blow them away.
