Gutter Cleaning With Ease
For years I have struggled with the old fashioned way of cleaning gutters and if you have ever cleaned your gutters you know what I am talking about. You first get your ladder out and get a 5 gallon pail to put the leaves and debris in. Place the ladder against the house at the start of the gutter and hike up the ladder to scoop out all the debris that you can reach by hand. Then you climb down the ladder, move it over, climb back up and repeat until the gutters are cleared. This process seems endless and annoyingly repetitive, but there is an easier way.
This year I purchased a hand held gas leaf blower that is very light weight and compact. I thought I would try to make my gutter cleaning chores easier than they had been in the past. I placed my ladder in one spot against the house at the start of the gutters, started my leaf blower and climbed up on the roof. I started to blow out the gutters with the leaf blower and low and behold was done with all the gutters in 20 minutes! Something that would take me a painful and agonizing hour and a half was just reduced to 20 min! I was very excited how I just discovered to simplify this awful chore. As always, be careful climbing ladders and walking on the roof.
