Abstract
Abstract An apparatus for temporarily supporting a gutter during the installation thereof is described comprising a vertically disposed inner frame member adapted to be movably secured to the fascia board positioned adjacent the edge of the roof. A horizontally extending bottom frame member extends outwardly from the lower end of the inner frame member. An outer frame member extends upwardly and outwardly from the outer end of the bottom frame member. A horizontally disposed support extends between the inner and outer frame members above the bottom frame member adapted to support the bottom of the gutter. A plurality of the apparatuses are mounted on the fascia board in a spaced-apart relationship. The gutter is then positioned on the apparatuses and then nailed to the fascia board in conventional fashion. After the gutter has been nailed to the fascia board, the apparatuses are removed.
