Best hammer control and judcious use of hammer taps in the business! Sometimes things need to move and 'percusive encouragement' is required. Nice one DP :)
It's a fantastic video it help more people to understand about how gutter and down pipe works and please quote how much cost to adding one down pipe cheers mate🎉
Hello from Melbourne Mr. Thanks for the detailed tutorial. I'm doing a little guttering soon and will get a cheaper red and green clipper set as I'm unlikely to do much more of this kind of work. The expensive ones are $40 each. One thing I've not found are the particular 'plugs' you are hammering in. Can you please let me know what these are officially called so I can better search for them? It would be much appreciated. Bunnings doesn't seem to have them, but plumbing places might.
@@dennisperrie Thanks for that. From you info I had a look around and found them online. I also found Bunnings has only the shorter ones, which I wont be using.
@@josiahdebney1324 Had mine on the inside but when I got mine changed over asked for it to be on the outside. If it blocks water could go inside eaves or worse still when gutter rust out
My house was built in 1983 and all the gutters are like that, unfortunately. I am not surprised that they rust and collect moss, dirt, leaves etc like crazy, because the way this "design" works there will always be water standing in the gutters (like in the video), just look at how the horizontal pipe sits well above the bottom of the gutter, about 1cm!! Have they never heard of gravity 😢 Those gutters leak and rust, there's no slope on them and in some places water will run *away* from the downpipes and pool in the corners. So sad that this is still done the same old way today. IMHO gutters need to allow all water to run off, there should be no way the water can ever enter the eaves, or the wall cavities, above windows/doors etc. Not in Australia though! To top it all off, the back rim of these gutters are a lot lower than the front, so for example hail can block the downpipes and water will freely run into the eaves&house over the back of the gutter. Happened in my house during heavy hail storms. This whole design is just rubbish, although the roof plumber is doing a good job demonstrating an inferior gutter system. It's not his fault 😢
I hear your frustration, What may help you if you are struggling is to slot your gutters. it wont stop the bad levels but it will help in the heavy rains when your downpipes get blocked. Thanks for the comment.

I get mine from a fastener supplier but if you ask for masonry wall plugs 6.5mm you should find something suitable.
@@dennisperrie Thanks for that. From you info I had a look around and found them online. I also found Bunnings has only the shorter ones, which I wont be using.
thanks, mate for the information. R u able to do some down pipes for us?
My please. If you are in Perth then yes I can. My number is in the description.
Thanks❤
Nice work, do we need to revit on both sides of downpipe and the gutter? Only revit at the bottom, that's it?
Yes just the bottom.
What's the benifits of running it through the eave?
It's just the different ways of doing it. It is a different, cleaner look.
Definately looks nicer just wasn't sure if there were other benifits. Keep up the good work 👍
Good job

Hi all, what's the best silicone for this process, cheers
use a roof plumbing silicone. brands will change but don't use internal silicone or bathroom silicone. your hardware supplier will know

What was the silicone you used? Was it specifically made for gutters?
Yes it is roof plumbing silicone.
Above soffit and behind fascia is just asking for trouble I reckon. Nothing wrong with drops.
It's just the style of the house. there are different ways but for a boxed eave this is how it is done.
Couple of deep breaths of that hardy flex if it's installed before 90s wouldnt be good for the lungs wouldn't recommend cutting it with a grinder
All of that debris and excess material in the roof IS ASBESTOS ! And most likely so was the stuff he was hitting with the screwdriver .
It was Hardiflex. Not Asbestos.
Those multi tools are probably a better tool, but it’s another tool and battery to carry around.
@Jason H I do have one of those but you need a diamond tip to get through the cement board if you use that. I am just quicker with the screw driver.
