[MassHistPres] MassHistPres Gutters

[Mark Landry]

>
Gutters are also available in Azek (PVC) material.  They look like  
wooden gutters and should last much longer.  I haven't used them yet,  
but we're considering them on a mansard roofed house that we're  
renovating because the height of the house would make regular cleaning  
and maintenance difficult.

Here's a link to a lumber yard in Massachusetts that carries them.   
I'm sure many others do as well.
