An article or ad popped up for this gutter downspout improvement while I was doomscrolling on either Facebook or Instagram and it caught my attention. I’d never even heard of hinges for gutter downspouts, but I quickly I ordered a 4 pack from Amazon. I painted them black to match and the install took about a half hour.

Now when I’m mowing the lawn I can quickly kick up the extension, mow the area, and immediately pull it back down. No more stopping the mower to remove the extension and I don’t have to worry about remembering to put it back on.
