Pop Country

My next door neighbor is having some work done on her box gutters, and the guy doing the work is doing a very nice job. He is also quite friendly. His taste in music, on the other hand, sucks a quantity of ass you are just going to have to take my word for, it is so heinous. I think, that in the ten days he has been working, I have heard Brand New Girlfriend two to three times a day. If you think the lyrics are bad, you should hear the whole package. It makes "She thinks my tractor's sexy" sound good in comparison.

ten days on box gutters? i would think you could rip out existing ones and replace them from scratch in less time than that. or rather, i would hope. after all, i've got aging box gutters myself.

You might not be fully acquainted with the full glory of the rotting box gutter. Because they are made out of wood, and integrated into the structure of the house itself, they are really complicated to repair while keeping the integrity of the design. I've seen some super shitty patch jobs, using both metal and plywood. Real box gutters are made out of a series of smaller wood strips, like a porch ceiling, and lined. It's a job I would never want to do. In fact, on my house, the roof is extended over the box gutters, with regular hang-on-the-edge gutters installed. It's a bad, nasty (mold, rot, birds, snakes, insects living inside) complicated piece of craftsmanship.
