Compared to digging massive holes in the ground, putting up new cast iron gutters seems pretty tame!
These are being installed “after hours” by a couple of local installers. The gutters have come from the local foundry in Holmfirth (JJ Longbottom) and the brackets have been made to a traditional model. The threaded bar in the centre of the bracket allows the height of the bracket to be adjusted so that it holds the gutters level.
The gutters are supplied already primed and painted. I reckon a couple of more evenings and these will be done.
