Thanks

To prevent moisture buildup and improve performance, install a continuous air barrier—such as drywall or specialized membranes—under tongue-and-groove boards or other interior wall paneling.

Always called 'em yankee gutters, cause, I'm guessing yankees are too cheap to put in real gutters<G>
Never seen them in aluminum, only galvanized, and at any place that sells materials, including Lowes and HD
If you knew anything at all about yankee gutters you would know they are not cheap to build
A yankee gutter is a trough built into the roof deck just behind the fascia. Try that in hooterville!
Sheesh, at least we try to have a sense of humor in Hooterville... "what's in a name?" d'oh!
Aw, I thought that was funny. You wanna pick on yankees go ahead as long as you can handle the heat
I am a yankee...but I like heat much better than cold<G> "what's in a name?" d'oh!
When you too gonna get down in the gutter and wrassle?
