We had a big thaw around Albany, NY last week and I got out in my backyard to look around a little at what winter did to the yard. The yard is OK but I noticed that half of the nails holding the gutter up on my 3-season porch are backed out an inch or so. They are so loose I can push them back in or grab them and pull them out with my hand. I can't easily move them -- I'd leave a big hole in the side of lip of the gutter where the nail used to be -- so I imagine I have to replace or reinforce them. I didn't take the gutter down but there doesn't seem to be any damage to the eaves. I'll replace the front of the eaves if I must but that seems like overkill. Any recommendations?
