NO More twice yearly doing the gutter clean out! I think the gutter thing was a great marketing ploy but unless water is really a big problem it's not worth it. I have a leaf blower and use it to blow the pine needles off the roof, big help.

One can sweep until the cows come home and it won't do any good. The leaf blower does, indeed, rule. And always wear ear protection.

I worked inside, cleaning for company who would bring lots of stuff with them. We both wasted our time. I have decided to live with what is and not get upset if things aren’t the way I pictured. <br /><br />You should put a leaf blower on your Christmas list. I hate the noise of them, but they are easier on the arms and back. Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.com
