Need a downspout extension?
How about this one:
This is the Amerimax Home Products Brown Flex-a-Spout Downspout Extension, Model No. 85019, and by all accounts, it works great.
You can go to www.homedepot.com and order one for $8.97 plus $5.99 shipping (or free shipping if you order over $45, and of course you can also pick it up at the store for free too). Home Depot Link (select brown as your color, and the price stays the same).
or, if you prefer, you can go to www.walmart.com and get one for $40.64 (a nice Walmart-sounding price) plus $6.97 shipping (another Walmart-sounding price). Walmart Link
The choice is yours. Caveat emptor, as they say.
Of course, that's Walmart's Marketplace, and the outfit that will sell you the gutter is Toolking. Still, I wouldn't have found it if Walmart had not lent its good (*cough*) name to this shabby enterprise.
Hopefully, this won't last. But just to create a permanent record, here are the competing screen shots:
So Toolking, with Walmart's help, will sell you this $9 piece of plastic for over $47 (including shipping). Walmart's current slogan is “Low prices. Every day. On everything.” Well, not quite everything, I guess.
It just goes to show -- the minute you turn your back on Corporate America, they find a new way to try to take your money.
