Found a weird hack for cleaning gutters without a ladder
I was up at my brother's place in Cincinnati last month and noticed he was using a leaf blower with a PVC pipe extension to clear his gutters from the ground. Looked janky at first, but he showed me how it works. You just duct tape a 2-foot piece of 2-inch PVC to the end of your blower and angle it up. It blew out 30 feet of packed wet leaves in about 10 minutes. I tried it on my own house this weekend and it worked way better than I expected. Saved me from hauling the extension ladder out of the garage and risking a fall. Has anyone else rigged up something like this or is there a better tool for the job?

Love this hack, been using a similar setup for years now. Total game changer for not dying on a ladder.

Total game changer for not dying on a ladder" - that's the truth right there. Once you get in the habit of keeping a tool belt or pouch on you, you barely even think about climbing up and down for stuff anymore. Makes everything feel way safer and faster once you get used to it.
