I don't expect to get any new answers for my problem, but you never know, so
here I go.

Don't be defeatists, yet.

I have a small section of roof that I need to put a gutter on. The
roof is a gable over the front porch. The edge where the gutter would
go is only about 4 feet long, so that isn't a problem. The problem
is the down spout. The edge of the roof is over the middle of the
living room window. If I put a regular down spout on it it will come
down in the middle of the window. I can put some elbows on and move
it back to the side of the window, but the first elbow will be directly
in front of the window. This is not what I consider a desirable situation.
Does any body have any suggestions?

Thanks a lot
Bill

Thanks, that may be just what I need. When I first saw rainchain I thought of
people who have used a plain chain instead of a down spout. But when I
looked at the picture I saw it is a completely different kettle of fish.
The biggest problem I see is that it is rather expensive. But then it seems
to be a fairly simple thing, I might be able to rig up something for myself.
It will just take a little thought and planning.

And I don't need to put it up immediately, I have just started scraping the
front of the house to paint it. And after that I will paint the trim, then
I can think about the gutter.
