Here is a copper gutter job I did for a nice couple in Forest Grove. They have been working hard to personally remodel the inside, but got help to do the outside work. This is listed on the Historical Registry, so they needed to make sure the remodeling would be done right.
The aluminum gutters they had were hung from thin aluminum straps nailed on the roof, and some had fallen off after a few years, so they had the painters tear off the rest of the gutters and downspouts. They had paid $23k just to have their house paint removed. And another $13k to have it primed and a 4 tone paint job done. Their house is on the Historical registry, so they were perplexed to figure out how to solve their gutter problems.
They had spent a few years trying to find a gutter contractor to even give them a bid for the work they needed, but were unsuccessful. They were thrilled to finally find our web site and see how we have already done this kind of work on houses that were originally designed not to be able to mount gutters onto.
In our original bid to add the drip edge that the roofers neglected to install, and to build out the eaves of the roof in order to mount the 175' of new aluminum gutters onto, the downspouts, and the No-clog options had come to $4,600 total.
After seeing our bid, the Kistlers then asked us for a price on 16oz copper gutters with the mitered endcapping. This added only $3,200 more to the cost, for a total of $7,800. They put down $3,900 to have us schedule it in, even though we were booked 3 months out. They latter added the heavy gauge 20oz copper gutters to our bid. The final cost was $8,063.10 for everything after we recalculated the cost to reflect only the materials used. So the heavy-duty copper only added $263.10 to the original bid
Click on the photos above to see more clarity and detail. I had taken over 300 photos, so I spaced out this project over 8 separate web pages, with the most detailed info on this web site for gutter fabrication. There is also photos from several years after installation.

MANILA, Philippines What do battered wives, partying concubines, and old debts have to do with governance? Not much, but politicos went there anyway.
An election year with the biggest corruption scandal and the worlds worst typhoon could have brought out the best in statesmen. But in 2013, politicians took black propaganda, congressional catfights, and disaster politicking to an all-time low.
Instead of rising above party politics and personal grudges, the so-called distinguished gentlemen and ladies slugged it out and dragged their rivals private lives, including dead parents and troubled children, into the fray.
While petty feuds are nothing new in the circus that is Philippine politics, the level of mudslinging was unprecedented, coming from the biggest names, the highest ranks of government, and the brightest minds during the direst of crises.
For voters past and future, we relive the cringe-worthy moments of the people who landed themselves in the Hall of Shame. It was an eventful year, but these newsmakers packed it with their own action, tragedy, and comedy.
Here are the top catfights of 2013, from bad to worse. Move over, Jerry Springer, this is Philippine politics at its worst.

Gutter politics: The worst catfights of 2013
Notre Dame Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick says Notre Dame will decide in the next two months whether it will go with Field Turf at Notre Dame Stadium or stick with natural grass.
No matter the decision, Notre Dame Stadium will either feature Field Turf or a completely new natural grass surface for the start of the 2014 season, Swarbrick says.
Swarbrick says if the Irish stick with natural grass, they will completely overhaul the system not just replace the first six inches of sod as they have done recently. The Irish AD says staying with natural grass would result in Notre Dame uprooting the entire surface and starting over from the drainage system up.
"One of the reasons it's been so bad, we take off one layer of sod and put down another layer of sod," Swarbrick said. "We haven't addressed the real issues we have to address."
He says the cost for a hybrid system like the Packers have is too much to explore but the costs of going with field turf or overhauling the natural grass will be about the same.
The big issue remains time as the project for overhauling for natural grass will take considerable work. Complicating matters is that Notre Dame plans to hold Commencement in the Stadium in May.
Swarbrick says the surface debate is a separate one from the Notre Dame Stadium renovations plans, which are calling for a complete redesign to make the Stadium the central hub of the university.
Swarbrick said he was very pleased with the progress that's being made and if they receive the go ahead for the Stadium renovations, construction would begin after the 2014 season and take two additional years to complete.
"You don't get a lot of opportunities to do something like this at a university where you have a project that touches almost every element of it," Swarbrick explained. "So you've got the academic units who will be in the building, very engaged, the academy who is playing a big role, student affairs, rec sports, digital media, athletics, the administration. All of these functions will be incorporated in these buildings as currently conceived. This has been really fun and exhilarating for everybody involved."
The possibility of a jumbotron being added are a part of the stadium renovations discussion.

How Much Should You Tip
Your Manicurist: If you see the same manicurist/pedicurist regularly, consider a tip between $10-$15. The general rule of them is to tip the price of one manicure, so in New York City, this might mean a bit more.
Hairdresser/Stylist: This can very greatly. Some etiquette experts suggest a $15 tip. Do you see the same hair stylist regularly? If they provide you with a quality cut/style each time, tip them the cost of one typical haircut.
Babysitter: If you have a regular babysitter, tip them the amount you would pay them for one evenings work.
Full-time Nanny or other home helps (elder care, etc.): 1-2 weeks pay, or 1 weeks pay and a weeks vacation.
Dog Walker: The cost of aweeks walk.
Teacher: A small gift of about $20 value, given to the teacher by your child. Or consider gathering money from all the students in the class and purchasing a group gift.
Mail carrier: By law, the Postal Service cannot accept tips or gifts. If you do decide to tip anyway, a tip of about $20 is a safe bet.
Cleaning Person: An unofficial standard is 10 to 15% of the cleaning bill. Consider tipping more if they do work more frequently.

A main floor family room is the equivalent of finding the Holy Grail when house shopping. Who wouldnt love a home with room for the whole family to sprawl out in casual comfort? The problem is that most older homes in the inner city werent built with family rooms as part of the plan. My clients had opposing viewpoints on whether to stay local or hit the highway in search of a home with enough open area. In the end, they settled on a 1960s-era ranch style home that boasted privacy, lots of space, and a giant main floor family room oozing with vintage character - but in dire need of a major makeover.
Sarah Richardson: How to peel back the old-timey look
Strip it
If your home is stuck in a bygone decade, the only solution to achieving contemporary style is likely somewhat drastic. You dont need to tear down walls, but you may need to peel back a few layers of decorative enhancements to arrive at a simple and streamlined base for moving forward. We ripped up broadloom, tore off trim, unloaded an old wood stove, and ripped out a cartload of stained oak. Suddenly, this split-level space looked more like a sleek, light-filled studio than a retro rumpus room, and its underlying strengths were revealed.
Smooth it
One of our greatest obstacles in this house was an overabundance of stucco. Were not just talking stippled ceilings here, my friends, but stucco everywhere! Ive said this before and Ill say it again : I hate stucco on any interior surface. I spend too much time getting rid of cheap stucco finishes. So how do I suggest you smooth out your stucco? The most economical approach Ive found so far is to skim coat with plaster. Its painstaking and its dusty, but it costs less than putting up new drywall. It wasnt me spending days smoothing out all the bumps, sanding, and dealing with the mess, but one thing I do know is that having an envelope of smooth walls makes a huge difference to the room.
Unify it
Among the challenges with this homes original space was the multi-level plan, the sloped roof lines, and the combination of materials. Somehow, you have to overcome the design discord and make all these distinct elements work together. In this case, the answer was gallons and gallons of white paint. Suddenly the brick walls brightened, the ceilings soared, the views to the garden became more engaging, and the whole room began to read as one light, bright, contemporary cocoon. A little harmony goes a long way.
Contemporize it
My clients expressed two different design briefs: one wanted institutional modern while the other wanted mid-century warmth. My job was to marry these two agendas and the solution rested on two elements with big impact: floors and glass railings. Six hundred square feet of engineered oak floor with a limed stain introduced the natural beauty of wood grain while still maintaining the stark monochromatic palette that would deliver the minimalist look. The raised dining platform offered its own set of challenges in terms of sightline and flow between living and dining areas. A custom glass-railing system allowed the dining room to float: in the space. While the templating and installation of the railing is custom, the railings, connectors, post and base moulding are all stock components that can be mixed and matched for best results. The choice of floor and railing were a bit of a splurge, but getting the fundamentals right is the key to success.

CORPUS CHRISTI (Kiii News) -
Corpus Christi police are said to be on the trail of a makeshift paving company that may be responsible for badly injuring a pet cat this week.
3News reported Thursday that a pet owner believes his cat, Ricky, was intentionally sprayed with hot asphalt, resulting in severe burns. A company that was doing work on Jarvis Street, near Seaside Cemetery, was allegedly responsible.
Ricky was taken to a vet after the owner found him covered with in the hot asphalt. The neighbor, who was having the paving work done at her home, called the police to report that the company "didn't do a good job," but police told her it was a civil matter.
However, on Friday, police said the officer did not ask enough questions about the cat.
"There was confusion about the officer saying it was a civil matter. Certainly, abusing an animal, none of our police officers would ever tell somebody, 'hey, that's a civil matter,'" said Cmdr. Todd Green of the Corpus Christi Police Department. "What he was referring to was the poor work that was done on the driveway."
Green said they are searching for the Blacktop Paving Company based in Mesquite, Texas, to further investigate the animal cruelty charge.
"Based on what they saw out there, nobody that we know of -- and we actually had our officers go out there this afternoon and go door to door and see if anybody actually saw this happen -- but based on the physical evidence, it looks like yes, this cat was intentionally sprayed with asphalt," Green said.
At last check, Ricky the cat is still alive, but there is no word as to whether or not he will survive. Green said that if police can prove a case, the company can be charged with a misdemeanor charge of animal cruelty.
