Thank you. Food for thought, both the berm and the french drain type. Googling french drain for some more details. Heck, I figured there was a lot of water coming off but when you put it like that (with a 2400 sqft roof) the gutters (or even one, to start) make even more sense.

Thank you. Good idea. I think there is a roofing metal place around here and I will look up sheet metal fab shop. Thanks for the pretreat mention, read up on it. Apparently it's necessary for galvanized for anything to stick (after thorough de-greasing, cleaning, etc.). Sounds like a bit of a...

Thank you! Yes, it was a lot. I have since cleaned it all out. Oof, should definitely me mindful of termites, thanks. If it will eventually rot out I am wondering if it should be replaced with something else. Hmm. Thankfully most of the issue is on the north side, just a matter of how to fix it...

Thank you for this info. Taking it all in.
