Actually looking at It I just realized why those gutters are set up the way they are. Rather than spend the few extra mins to measure and see where the windows are, the guy running the gutter machine just punched outlets every 25 feet from the back of the truck, with no regard to where the windows fell.

Wow, I might get a gutter guy down to the project and give it a once over and see if we can get this fixed. thanks for the insight and the time for looking at that.

I would suggest, having the gutter guy remove the downspouts, patch the holes, and put the downspouts where they need to be eliminating ALOT of downspout and elbows

i dont think its the windows they wanted to run the downspouts to the end of the building instead of dropping all that water on the walkways

Why not put the tape on the outside?
It's apparent that he doesn't care what it looks like!

Lol, I thought about that today. Do gutter installations not have codes?
