I dreaded cleaning the gutters which was about 3 times a year with all the leaves. And of course whenever it was time my wife would leave me a note on the fridge. After I had the new gutters installed I said you can cancel the extra life insurance policy.

I specifically went with larger gutters and extra and larger downspouts since getting up on the roof with the blower wasn't any fun anymore.


I noticed water was running off the roof and overflowing the gutters in front of our dining room window.


Same thing here. And that would be when the post it notes would start appearing.

ROTF! You may have started with clean underwear but sure as heck didn't wind up with it.
OMG Another one of your classic stories. Thank you, PW!

I admire your bravery as well.
This chick doesn't do ladders.
That's what men-for-hire are for.

Thanks as well for sharing your experience with the gutter protectors. Although I had all the trees close to the house taken down years ago, the gutters fill with leaves from the surrounding woods and pine detritus from the neighbor's front yard. Gotta love what the wind can do to redistribute nature.

This is going to require a lot of thought and asking around.
At the moment, I'm leaning toward just having them cleaned.
