The fascia board on our addition is rotting out. How hard is it to
replace that and the gutter?

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.

It can be unbelievably simple or the job from hell. If the roof line is
truly straight where the board attaches it is easy. As another poster
mentioned, scabbing a rotten tail or three is no big deal, just scribe and
cut them.

If not you may have to finesse the board to get a tight fit.

The gutters are easy if you use the concealed hanger brackets. The old
style nails and ferules don't have much bite in a 3/4" board.

The reason gutter spikes were so long was for nailing into the
rafter/trusses.
