Tim Walz Cares Abour Americas Gutters
Summary
Tim Walz has strong opinions about home maintenance. His take? Gutters are the most neglected part of home ownership, and it's personal for him. Kareem agrees completely, citing basement flooding, ice dams, and men falling off ladders as proof of gutter negligence. The conversation gets surprisingly technical. Walz recommends gutter helmets, which cover the top while letting water through, and reveals he shops at Menards for his downspouts. The best part is his insider tip about the 11% rebate system: you've got to send in your receipts and wait about six weeks, but the money comes back. Both agree gutters matter more than lawns. Zero hesitation.

So what's your take? My take is the most neglected part of home ownership is the gutters. It's personal for me.
100% agree. I've had problems with gutters before. You get your basement wet, you get ice dams, the leaves get stuck in the gutter. I've seen many a man fall off the—many man seriously, many of man fall off the ladder. But there's a fix. You can put a gutter helmet over the top of it.
A gutter helmet? It covers it. It lets the water go through, keeps it out of your house.
I see this all the time. How often do you like looking at gutters? I look quite often. Surprisingly.
What's better: a well tended lawn or a well tended gutter? I'd go with the gutters.
I'd go with the gutters, 100%. There's no doubt in your mind? No. I think gutters are a big thing that they really matters.
Where do you buy gutters? The downspouts? I bought at Menards. Save big money at Menards.
He exactly right. That's not—that's not—I know you're right. I'm not—get you going, leave hanging like that. No, no, you're right, you're right. Okay, you ready? Three. Save big money at—and keep your receipts. 11% rebates. You got to send them in. It's a little bit of a challenge, but you send it in, about 6 weeks later, you'll get your 11% back.
