Decided to tackle installing gutters myself last weekend, figured how hard could it be, right? Bought one of those snap-together gutter kits from the hardware store. Honestly, instructions made it sound way easier than it was. Spent half the day wrestling with brackets and trying to get the slope just right so water actually flows. Um, is it just me or are these DIY kits kinda misleading about how simple they are? Curious if others had similar experiences or maybe I’m just gutter-challenged, haha.
Been there myself with one of those snap-together kits. The instructions always make it sound like a quick project, but reality is another story... Spent hours adjusting brackets and measuring angles—ended up redoing one side twice because water pooled instead of draining. You're definitely not gutter-challenged; these DIY kits gloss over important details like slope accuracy and bracket spacing. Once you get the hang of it though, it does get easier. Hang in there, it's frustrating but totally doable.
