Bill has a mathematical mind; I don't. Angles are a foreign language to me. I am very astute with many subjects, math is not one of them. Together, we cover all important matters. His knowledge of angles came into play with our downspouts. The rain collection apparatus along the West Wing are heavy duty gutters and downspouts for a metal building. They lay flat against the building so they are out of the way while doing their jobs. With the addition of our rock the downspouts can no longer lay flat against the building; the rock is in the way.
Bill started out by attaching the downspouts in their original holes in the gutters. Then cut them off just above the rock. Can't stop there or the water would find a way to wiggle behind the rock and get into the building.
Possibility of storms tonight so a temporary fix in case he doesn't have time to finish both of them.
Look at his great angles! When I was helping him by holding the downspout so he could cut and bend I would try to figure out what the final thing would look like. My bends would have been backwards everytime.
He got both completed before the rains came in.
They look incredible. Both have large pieces of flagstone for the water to hit and disperse so we do not have erosion problems. He is a super talented man, this man of mine.
