Hi All,

I hope this is not the wrong pace to ask this, but I saw this thread and it relates to a problem I have. I wonder if anyone can help..

My telephone cable comes in from the pole and attaches to the wooden fascia under my gutter, like pretty much everyone elses. Only in my case the attachment to the wooden fascia is quite high up, so that the gutter on top of it has to be quite high in order to clear it. This means an uphill run for the water to reach the gutter downpipe, and consequently extremely heavy 'rainfall' from my overflowing gutter right above my back door.

I am worried about the wall getting damp (if it isn't already after 4 years of drenching). I thought I might be able to pull the cable lower somehow and drop my gutter, but the tension on the cable is already impressive so much so that I may snap the cable by putting any extra force on it.

I am also worried that it might be illegal for me to tamper with the cable.

Anyone know how I might fix this quandry, preferably without further emptying my already void-like wallet?

Thanks,
Arthur
