Hi All
Well the guttering and down pipes have now all been replaced.
It took two contractors half a day to complete this job, and clean up and
remove all old guttering.
I was surprised that they only used extension ladders and had not special
lifting platform or anything like that.
One guy was
It's so nice when somebody else does it and cleans up after themselves.

Hey Ray,

be able to do it perfect the first time.
And from what you say, it's the latter possibility. He knows he can do

That's great, sounds like they did a fine job. Some times it nice too get
something done by pro's, that do this kind of thing every day. I have been in
the same boat, had a job done, was happy with it, and thought about just how
long it would have taken me too have done the same job. Some
Those cow magnets are a total rip-off. I could never pick up a cow with one,
heck, I couldn't even get it to stick to the cow!

It makes a lot of difference when you have sight and have been installing
guttering for 20 years.
He owns the business does the quotes and installs.
Time on the job is important so doing it correctly the first time is vital,

We had our gutters replaced several years ago and the guys didn't clean up

Hi Guys,
I am looking for an inexpensive digital voice recorder for a student.
It needs a speaker built in. Do you have any ideas for one? I ordered
the Muvo T100, but it does not have a speaker built in.
Thanks,
Keith
