That short section lying on the ground next to the path
isnt going to last long and the vertical looks bad too.

It's standard aluminum downspout. Nearly every house in the
U.S. has the same thing and it lasts as long as it needs to.

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.

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.

I agree but these houses were built on the cheap. My bet, with renters
that thing won't last a week.

Yeah, that's what I meant. With a chain the worst that
can happen is some little kid tries to climb it and it
pulls out of the gutter and has to be put back.

You know nothing about water drainage from foundations.
Rain chains are basically a yuppie decoration.

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

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

You are completely irrelevant, it isnt just about you.

Pathetic.

Wouldnt be necessary if it was done properly in the first place.
