A couple of days ago the gutter guy came with his carefully engineered box gutter for the skylight-opening in the porch roof. These clips will support seven galvanized steel chains that will hang to the ground and serve as a substitute downspout. He said that he held onto the clips and literally hung his body weight from them to ensure that they could support the weight of the chains.
On Friday, he attached the chains. (The one in the center is darker because we bought a chain months ago and left it outside to see how it would weather, so they'll all turn that color.)
This is how it looks from the front door...
And this is how it looks from inside the kitchen. I love it. I can't wait for it to rain...
Oops, I almost forgot that the day before, the plaster guys were here reapplying coats of plaster to the courtyard walls that got ruined by an unexpected downpour last fall. They've been so good to us...
