"Tough Guy no. 1265" wrote in message news http://petersphotos.com/temp/Twin%20gutter.jpg I don't know what I'm supposed to be seeing here. Is the down pipe snapped off a few feet down? - I don't think whoever put it up would have snapped it off and it was highly unlikely to have been a plumber in any case. If you are pointing out the 'stupidity' of having two outlets so close together, you'll find that the gutters are not joined together - there is a stop end on each (different shaped) length of gutter and the only way to drain water from both is with the set up used. |

Is the down pipe snapped off a few feet down? - I don't think whoever put it up would have snapped it off and it was highly unlikely to have been a plumber in any case. If you are pointing out the 'stupidity' of having two outlets so close together, you'll find that the gutters are not joined together - there is a stop end on each (different shaped) length of gutter and the only way to drain water from both is with the set up used. What Unc also didn't tell us was whether these are two neighbouring properties in a terrace or semi. If so such an arrangement could be unsurprising. They are neighbouring properties. Why on earth would this make someone do something so stupid? It is either this arrangement or two complete separate downpipes. Square end to round end. Adapter. And adjusting the levels. MUCH less work to do it the way he did it. Why make the levels wrong in the first place? Presumably those are nothing like the original and they are unlikely to have been replaced at the same time. And adjusting the level on the end is easy, slope the last section or two. But that wont necessarily work as well as doing it the way it was done. And the other problem with joining the gutters is that if someone fails to clean out the gutters, you can end up backing up into the neighbour's gutter and causing water damage that way. Done the way its done in the photo will just see your own property damaged. |

Never cleaned my gutters and they've never overflowed. If they do it doesn't damage the property, it just spills into the garden. -- You are the only person I know that has ever had a brain tumour removed from their arse. |
