Slate Roof/Gutter Question

I have a slate roof/gutter question. Does anyone know if the gutter hangers that are secured under the slates and hang out below the roof to support half-round gutters can be replaced without replacing the slates? The reason I ask is that I am considering changing out my older galvinized half-round gutters with copper gutters, but to do so, I need to install new hangers. I can't use the old steel hangers with copper gutters...... Thanks in advance for any ideas... Rob You couldn't use a portion of the old hanger as a stub? Use a good quality fastener (nut & bolt) to attach new hangers to the old? That's what I did years ago when my old galvanized finally died. I sheared off the old gutter, kept the hangers and extended them as necessary with nuts & bolts (I used brass). The last thing you want to do is crack that last (first, actually) course of slate! |

If the slates are in good condition, they can be removed rather easily with a good chance of no damage to them. You will need a slate ripper. http://www.jenkinsslate.com/store_rippers.html Damn, I think the last ripper I bought was $15. |
