I know this may be a little off topic but I have to replace my gutters and wanted to know if it's necessary to have gutter guards?

The federal reference above is confirmation that it was received and sent as I have also confirmed that with your attorney's office so at this point I'm wondering why you're complaining when the money was wired on time, albeit, I attempted to wire the business day before because banks basically need everything shy of a retinal scan to facilitate wires especially when we put the internal controls to safe guard our clients and ensure all clients money is protected every day all day 365 days a year.Again, I really respond, if ever, like this but, in this situation, where my characters called into question for the first time in my professional career I have to provide a firm response so I will post when I arrive back to the office emails referenced above to establish additional evidence that your money was never at risk, was the first thing and the last thing I dealt with a business day before and the first email I sent at 830 am this morning to ensure a smooth closing.

Buy some adt security signs and stick them on posts in plain view get some fake cameras with led lights ... if it goes on you could pay a local security guard with free fine to wear his uniform and walk up and down the sidewalk for 15$ an hour each Friday or Saturday night for a few weekends till they get spooked and leave

This may explain why I am a bit guarded if someone asks me if I am an investor friendly agent; I get it, I have been an investor much longer than an agent and I remember trying to find a competent agent... with no luckGetting back to the idea of 20% commission; I was only looking at about 9% and got push back.

There are local laws and ordinances to guard against that.

The gutter should have had an additional downspout installed and probably did BEFORE the renovations, more than likely it was removed so you wouldn't see an ugly downspout in the middle of the rear wall; this caused water to back up in the gutter so that water run over them and behind the gutter; there's no drip guard to kick water back into the gutter either.  

The law protects members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard, including members of the National Guard, as they enter military service (active duty), as well as commissioned officers of the Public Health Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration engaged in active service.
