Our old house in New England has a steep pitched metal roof and no gutters. Our front door is right under a roof valley, so it is unusable on rainy days and all of winter. The water running down the valley has rotted out our building sill, and we have to get it replaced. I don’t want the same thing to happen to the new sill!...
You need gutters and roof guards. The gutters are the only thing that will stop water from splashing on to the side of your house which will cause rotting of any wood. Siding is not designed to protect from water going up. Roof guards will stop avalanches of snow on the roof so your gutters will be safe.
Anyone else have trouble with these GE dishwashing machines?
Mine cleans dishes well enough, but the gaskets leak easier than any other dishwasher I've ever had. I replaced the gaskets a few months ago, but if a little bit of debris builds up then it's leaking again. Also, the racks are badly corroded, but the machine is only maybe five years old. Anyway, it's just kind of funny that my aunt is coming over tomorrow and the last time she was here she noticed the dishwasher was leaking.
I would be wary of using vinegar. The hard water deposits had sealed the electronics enclosure after the gasket started leaking in my dishwasher, after I ran a cycle with vinegar it shorted out.
