You can now buy gutters which have rain chains connected to them. They’re prettier than the previous downspout. I always keep a rain barrel under the gutter on the deck and add a few goldfish to it. The goldfish does help keep the mosquitoes from breeding within the water. Actually it’s simply a giant plastic pot from Wal-Mart.

Rain Chains are expensive to buy however cheap to make. I give you the ideas and my husband carries them via for me.
