It’s happened a couple of times now that my gutters have detached from my house. Apparently they were put in with gutter spikes, a method that I now have no faith in.

As in the last case, I replaced them with screw-in gutter brackets that seem far sturdier. The only difficult thing with this instance was that the fence was close enough to the house that it made it a little precarious to get up to full height on the ladder.
