Replacement gutter parts needed - Qiubo Su
Hi All,
Yesterday late afternoon, after I poured some more self-made concrete around the paver edges around one ditch of my 2nd vegi garden at the back of my property, I used the a few months ago purchased extension ladder to climb up to the roof eaves area of my property, just above the roof of my garage next to my property, planning to repair the two pieces of cracked roof gutter parts, one gutter joiner and one gutter external corner, see the attached photos for the issues of these roof gutter parts. These roof gutter parts have issues for a long time, whenever it rains, there is some rain water dripping down onto the roof of my garage, this doesn't look and sound good, but this isn't a big issue and not an urgent issue for me either. My property has been in good condition, no issues, except that this gutter parts issue existed for years and the garage metal roof has some slightly leaking issue that started a few years ago, otherwise there is no issue for my property. The garage is an inhabitable area, so it isn't an urgent issue for me to resolve.
I plan to fix this roof gutter parts issue first, then install the rain water harvesting system with the large water tank I purchased before, see the large water tank in one of the photos and the photos taken from the ground for the roof gutter just above my garage roof. From the photos it isn't easy to tell the issue of the mentioned gutter parts.
Yesterday night, I tried to find the replacement parts online, e.g. from trademe, bunnings etc, for these two cracked gutter parts, but I couldn't find the suitable ones at a good price. Does anyone have the right parts at a good price to offer, or the used ones cost a lot less (the used ones would be better, as I'm not going to sell my property, so used ones are fine)?
When I get the right replacement parts, I can climb up there again and repair the issue promptly, with the long enough ladder I now have.
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Qiubo Su

Fruit destroyed on your trees?
Greetings, Neighbours. The guava moth is out and about. You'll notice pinholes in your fruit where the moth has laid its egg - which hatches into a grub which burrows throughout your fruit and makes it inedible. You can make traps (see on-line) and/or pick up fallen fruit (twice a day, if possible) and put in a bucket of water overnight. I've found this to be the best method as it destroys the second generation. Please do it. (Funny/peculiar thing: we have a couple of mini guava trees and the moths never touch them.) And pick fruit early if necessary, put in a paper bag with a banana and store for a few days at room temperature. Fruit will ripen, even if only for jam. Well done the person on Jade Avenue who has covered their plum tree with netting.
Making of traps: buy a few small garden/driveway lights from Bunnings -$3 each). Unscrew the small solar lamp and pull off the pointy bit. Then force the lamp into the top of a milk bottle. Cut holes in the milk bottle so the moth can enter as it seeks the light. (Pics on-line.)
Happy New Year, David H.
