That short section lying on the ground next to the path

It's standard aluminum downspout.

The horizontal bit on the ground isnt.

Nearly every house in the U.S. has the same thing

Not the horizontal bit on the ground.

and it lasts as long as it needs to.

The horizontal bit on the ground doesn't.

That is just getting the water away from the house so the basement is
not as likely to flood. They usually use splash blocks for that. I
guess an extra 3" of aluminum was cheaper.

What's ****ed about the roof water? Since it's in the West, where water
rights are to my way of thinking frankly crazy, it's possible that the people who
own or live in the house don't own the rights to the water that falls on it.
If that's the case, they must let it run to wherever it has always run.

It's a fine distinction but you cannot impound the water. You can divert
the downspout to water your garden. You cannot fill a cistern or koi
pond. The water use laws in this state go back at least 100 years. They
may seem crazy to people in the wetlands but they're not as crazy as
settling water disputes with .30-30's.

A chain works much better when you have a decent eave.

They usually use splash blocks for that.

And that would last much longer.

It's a lot more than 3", you presumably meant 3'

Still a ****ed way to do it.

Thanks for the detail. The East is no stranger to water-rights weirdness.
IIRC there are places if anybody ever tied two logs together and floated
them downstream, it's a "navigable waterway" and subject to regulation.

You're right. It's standard hinged downspout
extension. You can buy them on Amazon if you're
so inclined:

How would you know? Do you have any direct experience
with it?

We use schedule 80 PVC for the same purpose at our house.
I expect it'll still be sitting there when I'm dead. How much longer
does it need to last? I'm confident whoever buys our house will say
"Oh, that 4" drainage pipe painted brown is so ugly" and replace it.

Its obviously not going to last as long as a proper
galvanised chain.

You are completely irrelevant, it isnt just about you.

Pathetic.

Wouldn’t be necessary if it was done properly in the first place.
