5-9 Cleaning Gutters

What a nasty job?

We had gutters installed a year ago on the back of the house and on one side now it’s time to clean them. This is the reason why Larry never had gutters on the other two homes we had built. The foundation in the back of this house is over 6 feet tall and he hates climbing on roofs. Larry started to clean the gutters by using a extension ladder and cleaned part of them as far as he could. Larry had read about gutter cleaning wands so he went to the computer and did a little more research on them. He decided on the Orbit Telescoping Wand with Gutter Cleaner. So off to Lowe’s we went to pick it up and a couple shutoff connectors for the hose. When we got home he tried the wand out and decided he could not see what it was doing from the ground. Larry told me that he has been wanting a ladder stabilizer for years but never had a reason for it now that he needs to go on the roof he thought he should get one. So off to The Home Depot we went. When we got back Larry was back in business, he tried out the stabilizer and he said he should have done this a long time ago. There was so much stuff in the gutters he was surprised that they even worked. One of the downspouts took longer because it was clogged and he could not see how far the hose was in the gutter. Once the clog got passed the joints it was free to go in the grass. It was released with a little bang. Larry was happy to have them done for the year. Great job, honey!!!!
