🏰 Oheka Castle's Money Troubles: What's Next for this Grand Estate?

The famous Oheka Castle in Long Island is going through some tough times. With $63 million in debt, the owner Gary Melius just filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy to stop the property from being sold off.

This place isn't just any old building - it's been in movies and even showed up in a Taylor Swift video. Melius bought it back in 1984 when it was pretty run down, and he's spent over $46 million fixing it up since then. Right now, the castle is still open for weddings and events, and Melius wants to keep it that way. He's got plans to build some fancy condos on the property too.

Why LeafGuard Outperforms Every Other Gutter System

Generic gutter guards are add-on solutions that treat the symptom, not the problem. LeafGuard addresses it at the source by completely replacing your gutter system with a proprietary design that makes clogs physically impossible.

The seamless construction eliminates joints where leaks typically develop. The curved hood uses the principle of liquid adhesion to guide water in while deflecting everything else. Even small debris like seeds and pine needles that slip through mesh guards can't enter LeafGuard's system. The result is a maintenance-free solution that actually works.

516 Update readers save with 75% off installation plus $200 off. This isn't just about convenience—it's about investing in a system that's built to last and performs as promised.
