I am dreading getting up on the ladder and cleaning out those gutters. It I part of it though, the price we pay for owning our own place.

Great tips. “Winterizing” your car might make good fodder for another post. Change windshield wipers, etc…

I love when fall comes around, but it seems like there are almost as many tasks to take care of as their are in the spring. All of the jobs you listed are essential tasks and could end up costing you tons of money if not the safety of your family.

Most of us would not think of these as money saving tasks. When you think about it, there are financial reasons to get all of these things done. Great ideas.

It is when I read posts like this that I’m really grateful for living in South Africa, and enjoying a really mild climate. I’ve seen snow at home once or twice during freak weather, and that was only a light splattering that was gone as soon as the sun hit it the next day. I can not imagine sheets of snow and ice clogging my gutters or overloading my roof to the point of collapse. Good luck for your winter guys, and keep warm!

Oh, my….Please give your readers the opportunity of using a safer, cleaner, easier, and faster method of rain gutter cleaning! The DIY homeowner that wants to save time, money, energy and certainly leave the ladder in the garage, can do so by using the newly developed, American Made, gutter cleaning tool called the Gutter Clutter Buster.

From 1999-2002 over 2.1 million “reported” injuries and even deaths occurred from falling off a ladder while cleaning gutters or maintaining roofs. Why would anyone even suggest getting up on a ladder or the roof to blow or clean out rain gutters following these statistics?

This new DIY gutter cleaner attaches to any standard, round, 2-1/2″ wet/dry vac hose and literally vacuums out all rain gutter debris, be it wet or dry, while the user stays firmly planted on the ground. No ladder, buckets, gloves, scoop, tongs, blowers, gutter cleaning blower kit, water or other hand tools needed or dragged around the entire house while gutter cleaning. It is lightweight, durable, one-piece tool that you use while staying firmly on the ground.

I encourage all DIY homeowners to visit and watch videos at http://www.GutterClutterBuster.com that show just how safe, clean and easy, the next rain gutter cleaning can be and save yourself money and possible injuries. Its so easy even a “cave woman can do it!”

When you are finished vacuuming out the rain gutters you simply dump all debris out of your wet/dry vac canister into your compost pile or around plants for extra mulch, thereby conserving even more potable water and money on water bills. How great is that?

So stay safe, stay well, stay strong and “Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled” and “Don’t fear tomorrow God is already there.” God Bless America!
