Why have you obscured the birch tree’s private parts? We are used to seeing them naked.

Maybe it was @User9609 propped up against it naked. We're not used to that!

[QUOTE 5487892, member: 9609"]passed this modern house today and was intrigued by the chains. I couldn't see any down pipes and the gutters do look like they are sloped down towards the ends, Presumably the idea is the water clings to the chain as it makes its way down to the drain/soak-away ?
Never seen anything like it before, its in a fairly windy place, wonder how well it works
I liked it

I have three friends with very nice houses and they all have these chains - cost a fortune in stainless steel. They work very well and look rather nice with water flowing down them.
