Gutter Guard - DIY, Simple and very low cost

http://www.edibleacres.org
I think we may have a solution to having to clean out our gutters during every down pour of the summer and I wanted to share!
I had left over 1/2" hardware cloth and tried cutting a 6" length and folding it partially over at around 2-3" and it fits with nice spring compression between our new metal roof and old gutters. I suspect 1/4", 1/8" or 1/2" hardware cloth cut roughly between 6-8" depending and folded based on specifics would be a baseline solution to most gutters. No modification of roof, none to gutter, just cutting and folding so it sneaks in under a bit of compression. Easy to sneak out before depths of winter I suspect. I will make ours 4-6' long so they can be easily managed to put in and take out, I think little gaps or overlaps should be just fine.
Let me know what you think and we'll update once the whole house is done and we've had a monster dump of rain (and leaves!)
