I have to say I felt a twinge of sadness reading the OP.
Don't know your situation. Can you not afford a vac? Is it not worth buying one because you hardly ever have the need?
'Stuff' is quite personal. My gutter cleaning 'Stuff' certainly is. I wouldn't loan it to my best friend. Could be summed up along the lines of "You toucha my Vac, I breaka your face!"
Not being nasty. I hate letting go of work. But it might be worth asking if someone else can do the job. Or as WC Solutions said buy one and make some decent money.
All the best. I feel as if you've had a very rough ride with this thread.
