I like your zero bullshit approach to KZbin. You get it.

You fighting with the ladder is what makes this special

[@onegutterguy560]

Haha right! 🤣👌

[@beingbraveadventureskimcom2812]

THANK YOU. Very thorough!! I am ready to pull this off on my own :)

[@unclemercy]

well done. pro. the angle idea itself on the extension was worth the watch.

Reply to Jeff Abercrombie....was trying to figure out sequence...thanks for sharing

[@Jeff82556]

Interesting to see other "styles" of doing things. THANKS for your video. (thumbs up) I would have liked you to show us how you fabricated those wall brackets... out of downspout scrap, or flat metal, or???

[@mikeshhh5086]

Thanks man. It was helpful

[@onegutterguy560]

Glad it helped

[@bascianowatches9531]

This was great thanks man

[@onegutterguy560]

No problem!

[@hunterdarcy5442]

I like it all except those straps. I use straps cut off a scrap of downspout and 45 the edges. When I wrap it around the front of the downspout it matches the exact profile of the downspout and fully covers the connection seams. Imo it looks much nicer.

[@DigitalMediaCanada]

great video. Thanks!

[@onegutterguy560]

You're welcome!

[@jeffabercrombie167]

I can help speed you on the downspout build, first without getting on the ladder, build your top right back with elbows, one screw in very top elbow…. And connect right back to 10’ pipe… from there you can check your right back length without getting on the ladder. Straps should be on the wall already…then Flip over the down spout and place the top elbow about 1 foot to 18” from the ground against the wall, then whack the pipe on the gutter… the dent is where you cut and now you have an almost perfect downspout… The key to being efficient is building downspouts before you hang gutters, so when you hang your gutter, downspout is ready and when you put your gutter hangers in near the downspout, your straps are up and downspout is sitting next to the outlet.. and this minimizes your up and down the ladder and going around the house Hope this makes sense

[@supercatforever]

can you make a video about it? didnt undertand

[@MrWhitelightning73]

Outstanding

[@onegutterguy560]

Thank you!

[@michaelzollinger4977]

What type of screw are you using to attach the strap to the siding? Great video!

[@SuperMan-bh9lq]

Thanks bro...that took less than 15 minutes. Now, it time for me to tackle mine.

[@onegutterguy560]

You got it!

[@user-pi5xo4og9d]

How did it go?

[@superman6968]

​@@user-pi5xo4og9dIt went well. Once I got started, and recall the notes I took from this video, it was easy peasy. Things fell into place as he described. Many thanks.

Nice!

[@wildwolf8983]

Thanks for the tips , great video. Could you tell me in this case the size of gutter and downspout you used ? Also the x cutout pattern hole , is that a tool for that ? or you did it based on the downspout size?

[@sklee1644]

Thanks for sharing. Is the pipe a 45 degree angle elbow from the rain outlet and another 45 degree elbow down on the wall?

[@PRLcafe]

Cool, ty

[@onegutterguy560]

Your welcome

[@jeffreymccormick9280]

What screws are you using for the X out, and what svrews are you using for the joints?

[@dhaliwalkhushwinder]

FINALLY! Some one measuring it our way 😪

[@davidmckinlay555]

Thanks for the great video! You make it look so easy. Can you cut the downspouts with a regular 40 tooth carbide saw blade?

[@onegutterguy560]

Yes just run it slow tell you get a feel for it! Also keep your hands away👌

[@user-wq3jp3qg1o]

So I’m hooking up a gutter from the house into a IBC water tank using the original down spouts the installer man put in. One side is ribbed the other is not. Well the down spout angle doesn’t fit the angle to put into the tank, my question is ....do all ribs need to be the same ?? Meaning we need the extra angles?? (Curved) Cause the existing angles will not fit the down spout into the tank. Please help us resolve this issue.

[@tgalidaVO]

Great way explaining step as you go. Do you have to seal at all where the screw attaches to the house?

[@complainergamer]

There will be rot later. Shoulda just used the same holes.

[@beefstuart8769]

That hole punch is cheating. Haha, nice work.

[@michaelguida575]

Thank you for making this look easy. How would you turn it to the side of the house? I’m planning to install a deck across the back of my house. I’d like the down spout to spill on the side of my house. Will my connections hold well enough to the pipe? Are there better elbows to make turns? Like ductwork?

[@onegutterguy560]

Yes the elbows i used were A elbows B elbows turn to the side

[@onegutterguy560]

I also have another video about Downspouts if you want to check it out!

[@OHMD11]

Do you have to worry about the weight of the downspout on the siding? I want to redirect my downspout diagonally across the side of my house so it isn't going into my basement/neighbors basement (there's like a 2 ft gap between houses 😬). It's aluminum siding so it feels like it should be strong but I'm not sure if I also have to worry about moisture going in via the mounting?

[@hunterdarcy5442]

Your fine. I screw into vinyl siding all the time.

[@gutterdownspoutimprovement7418]

👍✅

[@chrisneal5556]

What about the old screw holes in the house that you put plate over? Not worry about water getting behind the siding and rotting over time?

[@onegutterguy560]

Ive definitely never hear of it happening. I have had homeowners ask me to caulk them, to there request I did.

[@getitright3124]

If you penetrate siding… always caulk. Just in case. Wood rot is inevitable without it. This is the guy who attaches shit to your house crooked and calls it a day.

[@NobodyReport]

Minus 5 inches on PVC too?

[@miciahwashere]

What time of screws did you use?

[@onegutterguy560]

They are call zip screws with a 1/4 nut driver

[@domilion2008]

What screws do you use for the entire job?

[@onegutterguy560]

Inch and a half for the hangers and zip screws for Downspouts

[@domilion2008]

@@onegutterguy560 thank you

[@domilion2008]

@@onegutterguy560 some recommend 1.5" screw to attach to house instead of 1". Would that work too, or is it too long for vinyl siding?

[@onegutterguy560]

@@domilion2008 that's what I use for the Downspouts straps and hangers!

[@onegutterguy560]

You want it long for vinyl siding so you can catch some wood behind the siding.

[@dougduhaime2829]

Are those screws or rivets that you use to bind the downspout to the gutter?

[@Scott-xq2dm]

Rivets or screws do not matter. Screws are easier for diyers.

[@dblackkw]

Did you use drywall screws to mount the straps?

[@Scott-xq2dm]

No drywall screws

[@onegutterguy560]

I used inch and a half 1/4 nut screw

[@kendalgee5808]

How does he not strip the screw hole when he's hitting the impact each time, lol.

[@Armbreakfire]

Jesse? That you?

[@onegutterguy560]

Haha nope

[@dusty1345]

I would run the downspout down the trim board

This guy putting screws into wrong place . Leafs will get stuck and clogged up fast 😂

Well the ones at top will prevent larger objects like small broken section off shingle from getting stuck further down inside elbow of pipe

Where do you recommend the screws?

Where else would you put the screws? You criticize this guy then offer no solution. Ill trust the guy who does it for a living

What screws are you using to screw it into the X out and the remaining joints?
