Now how the hell could it possibly clean the gutter? Does it push all the crap ahead of itself and clod the drain pipe> grin Sounds like a fairly useless device. Gee, if you have to go to the trouble of putting the thing up there, might as well just clean them while your there. For not a lot of junk in the gutter, taking your blower and sending a blast up the drain pipe actually helps blow junk out of the gutter. Not very effective, but a quick fix. I'm still looking for a good gutter solution. On May 13, 2008, at 3:23 PM, Kevin Doucet wrote:
