I use a 2.5 inch or so hole saw and hold the drill on an angle for the first cut to cut the radius and leave the material in to keep a pilot hole for the second cut. Works really quick and clean
I never use rivets, if you need to replace something you have to destroy it to change. I use a 2 1/2 hole saw and a round drop outlet. It saves lots of time.
Run new piece of continuous gutter and put in two drops and attach two downspouts where you want them or corncob job: remove the one downspout you don't want cover the hole from the inside with a piece of matching color alum and seal it. Two choices will both work but first is pro and second is cobjob. Rough like a corn husk.
I hate to be the one to tell you this, but you placed the pop rivets in from the bottom when they go in from inside the gutter. The reason is because debris will get caught on the pop rivet sticking up so high.
No, the cosmetic reason overruns that, it’s only 2-3 mil of twisted metal which would look disgusting on the outside, and probably not be a disturbance at all on the inside of the spout. rather a neat rivet head is more important
@@mikemoussa4013 Sorry but after 65 years in the business i always install according to manufactures spec. It is MOST important not to have leaves etc getting caught on those pop rivets than it is seeing a pop rivet end. ANd NO one ever sees them to begin with You leader pipe covers them. But do them your way it's your company.
@@Jacknyd Depends on the nozzle and DP type whether they're seen, right? I agree it seems silly to not have the rivet head on the inside so it is more streamline, but it seems like many (if not most) roofers put it on the underside for cosmetic reasons. I suppose most customers prioritise form before function? 🤷
As someone who get up on the roof and cleans my gutters I can attest to this . Leaves and small twigs will catch on these and then impede other leaves , Ive actually seen it . Plus you are not going to notice 3mm sticking out .
Downspout collars are ridiculous. You're using a good one but not every major department store has that kind. Doing what you did when the gutter is already mounted, just forget it 😂

Great video, I am on my way to Lowe's right now! Keep them coming. :)
Thanks
Max I love that decking. We just put up pressure-treated lumber and let it. Good job on the rain gutter
Love that square gutter. We don't have that in the states yet.
Good upload… couple of weeks late but now i know i put my rivets in wrong side up😀
Counter flashing should be on the inside of the gutter not behind it.
We have a saying here in Australia " do your best and silicone the rest "

I use 3x4 downspout. What size hole saw do i get for that and do you recommend a hole saw brand for my dewalt drill.
Is there a round drop outlet for 3x4?
@@BlakeMoore-vx5mr 3x4 is not round. Thats impossible
Are you kidding? Just drill out the rivet. Easy peasy.
@@lightning9279 yep, exactly what I was about to write.
How can you BLOCK a downspout? I have three in a row. I only want two. One floods a low spot in yard. i just want to block it.

Why didn't you use a hole saw
Is there a way to make the cut of the circle a little off centered so if you run straight liter, they could be closer to the house

Nice work, nice legs too 😉

Would be easier to us a DREMEL to cut the outlet
