The gutters are yet another story. These days, we clean them often, though not often enough. I don't know if "often enough" is possible, given the number of trees in my yard. However, we didn't always clean them often. After about half a year of not cleaning them, I saw small maples growing in my gutter on several occasions. They were so cute. We got better since then...
Anyway, no matter how often I cleaned them, their lifespan has now come to an end. The board to which they're attached has rotted away, and the gutters are slightly separated from the house (bad). Surprisingly, this is not what was causing the water stains you saw. They're still scheduled to be replaced next week, though, to prevent the house from crashing down around us.
On the bright side, instead of craving dessert, I now crave a desert...
