#downspouts
Downspouts are worth alot of money, it's called trickle down economics.

I hope Chief Justice Roberts doesn’t have any tattoos. He may be making downspouts at an El Salvadoran labor camp by Friday.

hiding easter eggs in the gutters and downspouts so the kids have to clean them out if they want candy

This is apropos of nothing but general distraction, but for years I thought our neighbors were REALLY into Andean flute music, bc you could hear it in our living room at odd intervals. Last year I figured out that our downspouts are perfectly positioned to 'sing' in a southwesterly wind

It’s currently 33 degrees…. Do you know where your downspouts are pointed?

They actually catch run-off from the concrete pads and the downspouts we don’t have rain barrels under yet!

Getting new gutters with bigger downspouts last month was a timely decision

Rain chains, or "kusari-doi" from Japan, are a beautiful alternative to downspouts. They guide water gracefully while adding elegance and a soothing melody to your rainy days.

Rain is coming & it's a strong rain, Portland! I hope your gutters & downspouts are hooked up or you might find a trickle in your basement like we did one year.

A robin has started a family in the gap under one of our downspouts and I feel like Tony Soprano. When those little birds fly the coop, I'm going to have a panic attack I swear to christ.

great tips here. also:

- if your power goes out, only run gas generators OUTSIDE
- put up blankets in doorways/over windows to trap heat in the room you use most
- keep curtains closed unless the sun is shining directly in

check your gutters and downspouts now to make sure they're clear
If you're in a place where it doesn't snow (like me) and living in places that aren't built to code for snow then remember to:
- drip your pipes
- keep your sink cabinets open to help circulate warmth so pipes don't freeze
- try to keep the heat on (if you can) at least 60 degrees or higher.

I love it when these downspouts freeze up because it looks like they're puking

Good morning to everyone who wishes their bike lanes had as much protection from errant drivers as these downspouts.

It is done, except for some small touch-ups and reinstalling the downspouts.
