Allright, I've been very busy hurling insults at you, now it's your
turn to insult me!

I had new gutters installed last year. One of the downspouts runs from
the second story to the ground floor, and terminates with the standard
90 degree elbow.

The problem is it terminates just outside my bedroom window.

When it rains, the water comes hurling down the downspout and splashes
against the bottom of the elbow with a very loud, and not very friendly
sounding.... um... well, for lack of a better term: PLONK.

IM NOT KIDDING ABOUT THIS.

Any ideas on how to keep my gutters from plonking me?

You might try a rubber elbow....at least it would be quieter....Ross
