A talk show mentioned built to rent housing developments. The houses are on the modest end of the scale. A nearby town might have something like that. There is an area of identical duplexes. They don't look like anything fancy from the outside but people at least have a little yard and a garage. The garages are in the middle of the duplexes.

Not for rent either, each one is owned. Yours is stick built and the way the roof water is done is completely ****ed. |

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. Cindy Hamilton |

If that's the case, they must let it run to wherever it has always run. But dont have to do the pipe in such a ****ed way. In my dad's last house but one, there is a heavy galvanised chain from the roof eaves with a small square of gravel at the bottom like with that pic. That looks much better and will last forever. Works the same water rights wise if that applys. |

Nope, the gravel pit at the bottom of the chain is the top of a pipe that takes the water out to the road kerb and into the council storm water drain. If so, that - to use your word - is ****ed. It works fine in sandy soil, its the same as before the house was there. |

Yes, and it was a flat roof in a very heavy rainfall areas where decent eaves are useful when coming home when its raining heavily. https://www.thisoldhouse.com/gutters...l-a-rain-chain |

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. |

The Bitterroot and Clark Fork rivers flood this time of year and do a lot of remodeling of the channels. Trying to build a retaining wall on your property can be a hassle. Except for one are that is iffy nobody ever built too close to the river but sometimes they cut a new channel in surprising places. A nature reserve built a paved handicapped accessible trail and a picnic pavilion that got eaten a couple of years later. |

Rain chains are basically a yuppie decoration. No, they are a downspout that will never block up, freeze and split!!! The only real downspout solution in forested or semi-forested areas with extreme weather. A regular downspout plugs up with leaves or pine needles, water backs up from a thaw and splits the downpipe when the temperature drops. Doesn't matter if the downspout is ABS, aluminum, galvanized, copper, pvc, or cast iron - if it freezes it splits. The chain just turns into a post and with a good strong wind on a sunny day turns back into a chain |

You are wrong, as always. With the two alternatives being discussed, the water ends up in the same place. The rain chain survives the renters forever, the other one doesn't. You are free to have the bottom of a rain chain see the water into a pipe under the ground taking it anywhere you like, topped with a grid and gravel/stones to let the water get into it there. Rain chains are basically a yuppie decoration. You have never had a ****ing clue about anything at all, ever. |

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. Yeah, that's much worse than some drunk A-hole ripping the chain down and beating his wife with it. Cant happen with a plastic chain. You're the one that started the chain discussion with "In my dad's last house but one, there is a heavy galvanised chain from the roof eaves" and then followed up with "Its obviously not going to last as long as a proper galvanised chain." Now you've switched to a cheap plastic chain. Only when the house is for renters and it doesnt have to be cheap. Oh, yeah, that'll look great. No reason why it cant look the same as galvanised chain. Guaranteed longevity too. The plastic gutter drops last fine. Unless the renter's kids climb them, right? When done properly it will just pull out of the gutter and is trivially replaced and is only a nuisance until it is replaced. Let's see, according to you, plastic downspout *extenders* (the subject of this discussion) won't last when used on a rental property... "My bet, with renters that thing won't last a week." That was Fretwell, not me. ...but a plastic gutter chain will. Yeah, that makes perfect sense. Idiot. What a stunning line in rational argument you have there. You're the one that changed horses mid-stream when tripped up by your own words. More of your mindless bull****. What a stunning line of rational argument you have there. Cant even manage its own lines, or anything else at all, either. No horse was changed anywhere I did even trip up on the immense piles of mindless bull**** pour from the back of you. Was that supposed to be English? Are you so flustered that you can't even put together a coherent response? I'll move on and give you a chance to rest. I don't want you to hurt yourself. |
