I have to replace the gutters on my house, and I'd appreciate any info
people have about aluminum vs. galvanized, the worth of screening to
keep out leaves, and, if you're in the Palo Alto, Calif. area, any
recommendations or warnings about specific companies.  I've heard
that: aluminum is the only way to go because it doesn't rust,
aluminum is a big mistake because it bends when a ladder is against
it, screening is a big win, screening is a big loss because debris
will collect in the gutters anyway, and when they're screened you
can't clean them out easily.  I don't normally read this
newsgroup, so please send mail to me at one of the electronic addresses
below.  Thanks, Karen
