I've made some changes based on my recent experiences of, safely and easily, single-handedly removing rotten cast-iron gutter from my 1938 house and replacing it with plastic. (Maybe Victorian gutter was sterner stuff?)

Some people have tried to remove gutter single handed and nearly landed themselves in hospital, so surely pointing this out is only wise. NT 17:18, 31 March 2007 (BST)
