In this particular case, the gutter isn't too far off the ground
(maybe 7 or 8 feet). *It's not all that long, maybe 12-15 feet.


I'm pretty handy, but not all that experienced.


Easy done if you build up a low walkway and have help. Two people are
ideal for handling long pieces of lumber which you will need. Current
good building practice is to use 2 x 6 fascia for strength and
endurance.


Say what? I've never seen a 2 by used for fascia. For endurance
I would use 1" in vinyl.



Makes hanging gutters much easier, but costs a bit more.
Stainless screws in the rafter tails will last many years, too.
