Setting the fall of guttering is easy if a digital level is used, just watch the readout until the desired angle is achieved, you can set some digital for the desired angle and an audible alarm tells you when you at the correct angle.Thanks for covering this again Cobs.
This at least the third time recently that you’ve gone through this lot & it’s so useful it should be in the How To’s, then it can be refer to it on an as & when. It took me ages to find the one I considered to be the definitive version a week or so ago & I went looking for it again earlier to reference it here. I couldn’t find it. It’s not hidden it’s just I’ve had a hard day repairing gutters. Gutterers can’t use spirit levels & don’t understand what the fall of system it. When pointing to a rise in the system I used the term “high spot”, he thought I was greeting a Dalmatian.

As per usual Cobber , you always manage to put a smile on our faces , re Plumbers !
My tale regards plumbers is in respect of my own experience on my house where I had to call on the services of a local guy to do some work . It required him to 'Lift ' some floor boards ! I left him to it which in hindsight was a mistake . Job done he took the cash for the task and buggered off ! After a short time I realized that every time I walked over the section of floor it was as if I was on the wreck of the Hesperus , ie with much creaking and groaning ! When I investigated the 'Repaired area' of floor , it was as though Neanderthal man had chewed away at the floor boards with I might add not one nail or screw holding them down ! After an age of scouring reclaim yards for the correct sized boards I finally managed to sort out the flooring . The last piece of board I chose to write in capital letters with felt tip pen . ALL PLUMBERS ARE TWATS ! If they can't do a job without resorting using crow bars , hammers , and ill fitting adjustable spanners , oh and they seem to be incapable of not covering anything in chuffin silicone sealer !!!!
There you go , end of rant . Quality plumbers are few and far between !
John . PS, Sorry to have highjacked this post but , I feel better now .
Here in Oz all roofing and guttering is done by licensed plumbers……. Therein lies the problem,
There are only two things a plumber needs to know……..shit runs downhill, and payday is Thursday, in order to help them understand the concept you need to shit in the gutter, then they can see it running downhill!
Trying to explain the use and operation of a digital level too them is always going to be a challenge challenge though.
I shall continue the lecture on broken bolts a little later
Evening everyone.
My last post should have included a photo of the gearbox arm that is now in the bin!
