Task #2 - Rig Fix for Downspout

A broken downspout has caused $$$$$ of damage along the back side of the house. Fixing this is top priority. We're currently accepting bids from masons to repair and replace the brick, but for the time being we need the downspout addressed so it doesn't cause any more damage.

See the following pictures which show the missing section of the downspout and the water damage it has caused.

As it rains, the inside of the house is like a waterfall.



Here is a closeup of the damage. I love the moss layer on the outside. Was this the previous owner's attempt to "go green". Does the government offer tax rebates for that?




That's quality masonry there!



This is a picture of the finished rig work. I've added myself as a stick figure to illustrate how I addressed this issue. I almost died, but it was worth saving $50 on having a professional do a superior job.
