Oscar Gonzalez 832-814-3118 came out and did an excellent job installing the gutters and downspouts for our rainwater collection system. These are seamless gutters that are pre-painted to match the existing house/gutter color. I am very happy with Oscar and his team. If you are in the Houston area and need gutters I highly recommend him. Give him a call and tell him you saw the YouTube video.

  • For a guy that appears to have done an amazing amount of research that is the most boneheaded comment.  Like saying "i've been drinking water out of my Lead supply lines all my life, and I'm fine."

    Hears hoping you don't let children drink your untreated rain water.

  • @lefty0mtl I don't know who you are quoting but it wasn't me.

  • @TheMrgrackle I recommend the berkey water filter system.

  • @LDSPrepper what are you using as a filter?

  • @lefty0mtl That sounds like the warning on the garden hose. However I have been drinking from a garden hose my whole life.

  • @LDSPrepper Then you must be passing it all through a very thorough filtration system in order to make it safe for drinking. What kind of system are you planning on installing?  I finished reading that amazing Texas Rainwater harvesting guide you posted a link to where it stated:

    ---Composite or asphalt shingle---

    Due to leaching of toxins, composite

    shingles are not appropriate for potable

    systems, but can be used to collect water

    for irrigation.

  • @lefty0mtl No.

  • Just a brilliant set of videos. Can't wait to cue up the next in the series! One question...Do you have any concerns harvesting drinking water from your asphalt shingled roof, versus from say a standing seam steal roof? ie. chemical leaching etc. Thanks for the vids!!!

  • Your neighbors won't say Jack, cause they think you will save them....So let them think happy thoughts....

  • @AReptileMan I have used these guards for 5 years. I wondered the same thing when I bought them. I have gone outside in heavy downpours to see if water would run over the guards and not into the gutters. Luckily it has never happened.
