The TV has been heavily advertising gutter screens, pieces of perforated metal that fit on the top of the gutters, and let the rain water in and block out the leaves. Cool. Of course my house does not have gutters at all, so I don't need gutter screens. I have nice big deep eaves, so the rain water that runs off my roof falls at a decent distance from the house and does not cause my any trouble.
The other benefit of good deep eaves is heating and cooling of the house. My eaves allow the sun to shine in my south facing windows in the winter, and they block the sun in the summer to keep the house cool. I think every house ought to have good deep eaves.
