Abstract: A gutter extension holding device which inserts at a terminal portion of a gutter extension includes a connecting piece or cap having four side portions which operate as a collar around the extension and at least one tab extending rearward and defining a channel configured to receive a terminal end of the extension. The device includes a stake to insert in the ground to retain the extension in position. The channel is tapered to accommodate a friction fit of the inserted extension, and a frame outlines a flow opening of the device against which the extension abuts. In one aspect three tabs are configured to receive the extension, where a bottom side portion is devoid of a tab to accommodate uninhibited flow of water or materials from the extension.

Abstract: A ground attaching assembly for confining an attached object to a limited distance from a predetermined ground position includes an elongated stake member having a ground penetrating end and a driven impact end spaced from the penetrating end. The driven impact end is capable of receiving blows from an associated pounding member such as a hammer. An object securing line is connected to the stake member at an attachment position between the penetrating end and the driven impact end, providing space between the attachment position and the impact end whereby the securing line may be spaced from the impact end and thereby be protected from blows from the associated pounding member.
