I have to get one side of my house's gutters replaced and I really don't want to spend that much this year so I'm really tempted to just put up some connected sections of gutter from homedepot until I can get a real person to come out and do an actual good job. Besides leveling and sealing, is there anything in particular to watch out for in doing it the cheap way?

I posted this in the other house thread, but figured I'd cover my bases and cross post here as well:

Hello goons!

So I have a concrete porch that sticks out of the front of my house. It's holding up it's own section of roof with wrought iron supports that are pretty rusted to poo poo in a lot of spots. Also, the concrete is cracking and separating in a section that starts from the corner and is making it's way around the front.







my questions is, what kind of person can/should I get to try to fix this? General contractor? Concrete person? Iron person? All of them glued together?

I have this nagging fear in the back of my mind that the whole front of the house is gonna fall down and I'm gonna have to move out because they're going to condemn it.

at my last house there was a metal shed with plywood floor and some time after I moved in the floor started to rot. when I pulled up the wood I found that the dude who built it had laid a tarp over the metal floor frame before screwing down the wood on top of it, making an excellent barrier between the wood and the ground that was extremely good at collecting water.

Lmao that's incredible
