We got the furniture just in time as the following week we received snow which appears to be here to stay. With its arrival we got to hear for the first time what snow shedding off the steel roof sounds like. It ain't quiet!! The good news is the eavestroughs are still there! We contemplated which sort to purchase and are happy with our decision to install a very rigid leafguard on the troughs. Just adds to their rigidity and the literature shows someone hanging off them, a claim we will happily accept without having to experience it.
