Design-Build Field Workout

Two field professionals design a drainage system for a building facade, proposing a bolted "super gutter" with weep holes and metal flashing. They work through attachment methods, material choices between wood and painted metal siding, and how to pitch the gutter against the existing stucco wall.
And I don't know what else we can do.
Can we put a super gutter up there? Bolted to the wall. Where is that? Can we put a super gutter here? Just like you would a pool cage or whatever, right?
Or an industrial building.
Or an industrial building. And then put a break metal shell on it. And then just put a break metal from here. Right over, up, and there's going to be— and then attach it to the front of the super gutter. So let me see that pencil. So it's like this. So you've got, you know, the house that comes like this, just like a normal, but a super gutter here, right? Yeah. And then, and then down here, and that pitches, you know, like you said, like that and like that. And then here's your stucco wall, and then take a piece of but I don't know if you can blind fasten it or whatever you can do, and then put a piece of brake metal that just does that. Because I mean, a Super Gunner, we're hanging whole cages on that. Just attach a piece of aluminum brake metal that does this and this. This holds this side, the bottom holds this, and then this is, you know, maybe got some weep holes or something. That seems like a simple— I think that's possible.
I don't care how big this is. I mean, this needs to be Wire, that's, that's, we don't give you, you know, that can grow. But if you needed them to use, like you said, just a commercial or whatever mother gutter up there, and then I would have thought you'd have some kind of a— again, I'm not an engineer— but a bolt here so the damn thing doesn't collapse on you, you know, with something on both sides.
That's, you know, what you're drawing is correct, but the whole issue for me and for everybody I talk to about it is the depth of this 32-inch wooden structure.
Why is that wood?
Well, because it's a brick metal. Well, I'm just saying the way we need to attach wood, we could just attach it to that brick metal.
You don't have to have wood siding. If it's easier for you without wood siding, please go with painted metal. I got no problem with that. I mean, maybe, maybe it's this. Maybe it's just what you said, put a stock mother gutter on there that's sloping, and then this is a grim on the whole bloody thing.
It's just a visual whatever. It's almost like a chase.
