    How do you Clean the Leaves out of the Gutters ?

    I have a Low Ranch(gutters 7 ft high). I usually pick the leaves by hand if leaves are wet in a 5gal. Bucket on a rope and lower bucket to someone on the ground or I take the Big Garbage can and set it in the middle of the house 2 ft. from gutter and dump bucket from the roof. If they are dry- get on Roof and use the Blower. Late Fall I just take 8 ft. ladder and clean the gutter by the downspout if rain is over flowing the gutter. My brother fell off the ladder at his house last year and hurt his hip > Missed 2 days of work - very unusual for him ( missing the days of work -). How do You Clean the Gutters ??

    No one can be wrong that often so it has to be deliberate.

    Built an attachment for my Stihl using an old round tip, and a couple of PVC 90 degree ells. Screwed the ells to the round tubing. I can reach gutters as high as 9’ with it. I’ll post a picture tomorrow if I get a break.

    I agree, Not much trouble- Very Clever idea and attachment. I usually give high school kid $20 to get on roof with me the ground man.. Or I give him Zero except a sleeping bag when I hide a 12-pack in gutters. just kidding.

    get on the roof with a leaf blower, wet or dry

    I have that Lava Rock on front and back of house. The lava rock seems to act like a Magnet to those wet leaves... Sometimes when I am feeling like a badazz, I will get up there and blow out those wet leaves. . .

    Could try this. I have never used on. House too high. But with wand extension could do from the ground.
