Talk:Guttering

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)

Sure: the article says

Gutter sections can be deceptively heavy, and care is needed in removal.

- which I hope strikes the right balance between a heads-up warning and nannying "kids don't try this at home".

Reason I changed the wording is that some iron gutters can simply knock a person clean off a ladder, which can be nasty. And I didnt think that take care really conveyed the potential problem. Hopefully whats there now will do. NT 07:23, 2 April 2007 (BST)

Shouldn't be working off a ladder anyway! :-) --John Stumbles 16:09, 2 April 2007 (BST)

Sure, but IRL some will do so. 62.253.32.4 01:53, 3 April 2007 (BST)

Any chance of a clarification on the comment in the section on lead lined stone gutters? As it current reads it seems to say this is how it is done, don't do this! --John Rumm 14:34, 27 August 2012 (BST)

Indeed... best ask someone that knows more about them I think NT 00:21, 28 August 2012 (BST)
