Hello, Janet, and welcome to my blog! Sorry about the delay in your comment appearing…moderation is more or less mandatory these days 🙁

I actually hadn’t thought about the cats 🙂 These days, though, the only cat who gets outside is Tux, and that isn’t “intentional”: we try to keep him inside, but he’s sneaky! I fully expect to find him up on the roof one day, though.

Let us know how your new gutters work. We are a few years away from having our roof redone and, when we do, I think we’ll see if we can do something to keep debris from our cedar trees from getting into the works. Right now it is a couple hundred dollar expense twice a year to have the gutters cleaned… that’s bad enough, but there is the worry even after that expense that the gutters will still block up and cause overflows and floods into the house itself.
