Default Gutter installation/attachment questions

You got the fast easy method, too late now, but double-check there is

straps get nailed on under the shingle -- not through the shingles.

One brand of the hangers is Amerimax Home Products 5" Mill Finish Roof
Hanger with Strap (21030). Here's a link to a photo that shows them being
mounted under the shingle:
