rain gutters #2: waiting for water

Hey that looks like progress! :)

I agree with you – it’s free, why waste it?!

I will admit, your original post on this subject caused me to look long and hard at my water usage in ways I never had before. I’ve always been a city dweller of one sort or another… but any saving of water is good, right?

I also agree with you – water will find its way down, one way or another.

Looking good David nice color too. That’s one heavy duty gutter.

thanks lis ,
i have installed many metal and plastic gutters ,
and all they do is channel the rain to a corner and down ,
when they get clogged ,
or snow is sliding over them ,
they usually just get ripped off the roof ,
worth less to me .
and they cost quite bit too .

thanks jim ,
i don’t want to have to pay ,
some strutting moron ,
to come and fix my hose someday ,
i might be in a wheelchair ,
screaming at him ,
while he messes everything up ,
and takes all my money !

I must say that is a great idea, the brackets are just perfect.

I like self sufficiency David, and your mounting idea and installation look very good to me. I expect there will be fountains, flowers and a huge green lawn around your house in the near future which you will be able to enjoy looking at from your pool area.

Wonderful job David. Looks like a lot of hard work. Has to be worth it though. Quite an engineering feat. Looks good too.

Nice project.
But man, do you have an eye for design. There are many ways of accomplishing the routing of water, but you have put a very artistic spin on it. Good for you.
