Followup!

It's now 5 years later and I'm reporting. I did do the repair of the
funky Dutch gutters at my roof edges, which were leaking into my house.
I did it with cut up pieces of asphalt roofing material and a fair
amount of roofing cement, built up in layers until there were no
depressions for water to accumulate. That has kept those leaks from
reappearing and I'm going to have the whole roof torn off and replaced
as stated above, the last week of the month. Fingers crossed that it
comes out OK. There's lots of dry rot that will have to be replaced. I
hope they do the job right.
