Winter Gutter Work

Knocked another item off my to-do list this past weekend!

I did some gutter work or rather downspout work.

The downspout to the right of the chimney has always run straight down to the ground.  The problem being is that the water would then need to drain across the walkway.  This was more of an issue in the Winter months when the water would freeze into a fine sheet of ice.  Making it super dangerous, especially when covered with snow and you'd forget it was there.

So, I reworked the downspout so that it now runs along the deck and down the far post thus carrying the water to the other side of the walkway and eliminating the hazard.

We had rain the other day and it worked like a champ!
