Downspouts

The last thing I did before settling in for the winter was to replace the downspouts.  Several were missing when I moved in, and the rest had to be removed to do the stucco.  This one is pretty straightforward.  Buy materials, snip to length, and attach to wall with straps and stucco screws.  Strainer baskets help prevent leaves from clogging the downspout opening.  From where the downspout lets out, the water is guided away from the foundation to keep it healthy.
