My own home sufferd soffit/ fascia damage and rot due to gutters overflowing and dumping extra water back into the attic / soffits . . . It happened during a summer much like this one -- way to many frog drowning rainstorms in too short a period of time. Ended up tearing the gutters off (until the woman who runs the house made me get gutters back up). . . Bob White
They look like resistors (though I can't think of a reason for them here) . . . Maybe this is someones idea of permanently marking the white conductor when it's being used for line voltage? Do these conductors have the same "marking" at the other end?[:-spin] Bob White
