What's In Your Gutter?
Rainy weekend...new homeowners. What to do? What to do?
Clean the gutters. Especially since the maple tree down the way has let loose its little "helicopters of Spring." Which I thought were really cool when I was about 8 years old.
Now?
Not so much.
We get out the regular tools for this...a ladder and rubber gloves to check the downspouts. (The required facial expressions registering distaste and disgust are needed also.)
A test with a bucket of water shows that there are still some problems.
So we get out the BIG GUNS. The homeowner's friend. The wire hanger.
Let's see what the boys from the City of Chicago have in THEIR toolbag, eh?
Show-offs. This Daley Administration is SO over the top.

My husband recently cleaned out a friend's gutters for him. He said the organic matter that had been stuck in there for years stank to high heaven and had to be bagged before the smell killed anybody nearby. My sympathies!
