This Old House featured a one piece gutter system that looked just
like the Gutter Helmet. I realize that Gutter Helmet is a retrofit for
existing gutters, but the end product looks just like the system shown
on This Old House.
The "contractor" was showing the host how they worked by pouring water
from a jug over the gutter. More water hit the ground under the gutter
than actually went into it. The water just shot right over the gap.
Maybe the volume of water from the jug was too much, but I couldn't
believe the vendor let the sequence air. The contractor was saying
"Look how good they work" as the water was splashing all over his
boots.
