Gutter cleaning

Just looked out and saw the water running over the sides of the gutters.

Got out the old GI Parka, hip boots and a ladder and went out and cleaned them all. Why do I always forget?

The spinning helicopter thingy's that fly off the Maple trees make this a chore every year and the leaves get me in the fall. I seem to always get to clean the gutters when its raining.

One of these days I am going to put in Gutter Guards and stop this foolishness. That or cut down the Maple tree's. Always shedding sticks all year around anyway.

You will still need to clean what is stopped by the gutter guards.

I hated my maple tree at my other home. So glad we have none around this house. Go get those Gutter Guards. Well worth the money. Just think what other projects you can get done lol.

Don't know what kind you have but we never have to worry about cleaning anything off of them.

I cleaned mine only a couple of weeks ago, but they're clogged up again and dripping over the sides. Oh well, I'm not going up there now to do it.
