We had gutters redone with guards about 9 years ago. My wife has always wanted exterior Christmas lights, which I've never done, so I'm flying blind. What kind of Christmas light holders/hooks can I use for these gutters? (And yes, I know I need to clean my gutters, that's on the list for the weekend)
Hi
we had a lot of rain in SoCal earlier this year and my balcony was leaking into our dining area below
I filled the balcony to the door level with water and was able to reproduce the leak
I am thinking of just sealing the cracks along the joint line to see if it will solve the problem.
Will this sealant I have in the house work to seal the cracks.
thanks any other advice would be helpful.

[i]I think it's leaking around l shape with the door - if it's going straight down . Also covered that area with plastic and did not see any leak but was not during heavy rains[/i]

I've got two problems:
1. The edge of my 2nd story roof does not protrude past the drip edge, which is causing water to track back up and under the metal panel. It's a shallow pitch, and the water has infiltrated what appears to be a rigid foam insulation. See pics below.
2. The foam sits under the metal panels without underlayment or sheathing. I assume the decking is below the rigid foam. Shouldn't there be something between the metal panels and the foam insulation? Cathedral ceiling with no attic.
What's the right course of action here? Longer metal panels to sit over the drip edge? Install sheathing or underlayment below the metal?
