It should, judging by the photo. <BR/><BR/>Adjust the saw accordingly to tighten things up.Deadmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08449318388713585299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9706085.post-35870433792979580162007-07-27T22:01:00.000-05:002007-07-27T22:01:00.000-05:00Hah!

But thanks for the vote of approval. :)<BR/><BR/>Mark,<BR/><BR/>Yes, I am sealing the seams with silicone, but it doesn't change the fact that they are hideous. I'm starting to think that this is a very bad idea. So there are no gutters now. I couldn't even look at them without my blood pressure rising. So now my entire porch is wet from all the rain we've had. <BR/><BR/>And the baseboards are still in progress. Every time I go to Lowe's, I forget to get that divide angle thing. But I've decided that with the plethora of saws I have at work, I'm going to measure the angles and take the baseboards in to cut them (once I actually am able to measure them).Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345233951014025763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9706085.post-41130468268732874702007-07-26T16:52:00.000-05:002007-07-26T16:52:00.000-05:00Okay, I see, it's a prefab downspout section.Anoth...Okay, I see, it's a prefab downspout section.<BR/><BR/>Another reason galvanized and soldered gutters are superior...Deadmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08449318388713585299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9706085.post-6634243295788254742007-07-26T07:01:00.000-05:002007-07-26T07:01:00.000-05:00You have way too many joints in that short section...You have way too many joints in that short section.<BR/><BR/>Each joint represents an opportunity for a leak.
