DOWNPIPE UPDATE
This is an example of the rain cup we are looking at
Close up view of detail
This is how they are attached to gutter (this is the chain version)
This is how they are connected to storm water
Spoke to the CS today and it appears that builders are prepared to move the downpipes but as they have been installed as per plans any changes will have to be at our cost! Bummer!!! I guess the lesson to be learned from this is to double check all plans and then check again.
What we intend doing is to replace the downpipes with rain cups (a variation to rain chains) hopefully these will add to rather than detract from the main entrance.

I love those rain cups! Looks very special and much better than those ugly downpipes!

Very cool - found this post over at Building our First house - this is the first I've been introduced to rain chains. Very neat idea, indeed!
