Gutters

Heavy and persistent, water makes where it lands matter as much as where it starts, and the plan is easy to overlook until something goes wrong. Without a gutter, rain falls in a line along the eave and digs a trench in the soil below, and the choice of those places is part of the design. Each of the pieces has to be sized and set to carry the flow of the one before it, and a quick look each season is enough.
