Installing Gutters on Slanted Base? - Please Help
Hey y'all. I've got two issues with installing rain gutters.
One, the area where I should install gutters is slanted up to the roof. How to I deal with that? Does it need to be removed?
Secondly, there is this metal spout thing coming from the corner where the 90 degree angle is. I have two locations on my house like this. How can I remove them?
I don't even know what these are called, so google has been any help.
See pics below. Thanks!

A good gutter guy will know what to do. They usually will have to get or make u-shaped brackets that act like a shim, to hold the back of the gutter plumb. They will probably also have to fix the valley tin which was left too long. It will get trimmed back with tin snips so it sticks out about 1" past the drip edge, then those flaps should be bent down over the drip edge. No idea what spout you are talking about, unless its the valley tin.
Alternatively there are gutter straps that nail to the surface of the roof, but that wouldn't be my first choice. http://www.homedepot.com/catalog/pro...3ec5c_1000.jpg

Going to need gutter wedges.

There not "spouts" that's flashing to direct the water away from the inside corner's.
Sure hope your going to have a real seamless gutter company install these.
