The best thirty dollars I ever spent

[fluffhead]

So our new (old) house has these sky-high gutters with an extreme pitch on the roof, and besides not owning a 32-foot ladder, I'm really frightened about climbing one, and wouldn't venture up on such a slanted and high roof. What's worse is that the house has "yankee gutters" which are really shallow from repeated patching, and get clogged All The Time.

So I found this "gutter wand" at Lowes - it telescopes out to about five feet, with a little metal hook at the end, and you can just lean out the window and reach into the gutter! (or climb a ladder and reach up, if it's not near a window).
And for nasty clogs, you can attach a hose and spray out the end, WHILE scooping out with the hook.

LOVE IT!

Wow. That must feel so cathartic!

OMGoodness! It is as if you read my mind...we need one of these. DH wanted to but the super expensive Roomba gutter robot (eye roll).

I'm off to Lowes to look for this!

This thing is awesome. I would pay $100 for it if I had too.
