Handmade Copper Gutter

This homeowner wanted to keep the original look of the roof with a copper gutter & open rafters. We had to bend & solder copper from a new flat roll. It has to be extended up under the synthetic slates, so they had to be removed & reinstalled. If you look at the first photo you can see the “fancy” larger end rafter. That was rotted & we had to trace & cut a new piece. You can see the seam under the new paint where we had to splice it together. This is how gutter work is supposed to be done.
