I guess the phrase "workman like manner" didn't mean much to that installer. I'm shocked.

That's called a "Jersey Gutter Shot". Seems it's common for cable installers in New Jersey to take that easy way out. I'm told you see it all the time there.

I once saw cable, outdoor speaker wire and a 1/2" PVC with a lighting circuit in some A-holes gutter once. And he was fine with it.

We'll see Snow, Not a problem either way! Folks are nice folks with plenty of
Money. Guess I'm a silly old Man. I always thought gutters were meant to carry of rain water. But what do I know!
