Gutter clearing
« on: June 02, 2024, 07:47:41 pm »
Once did a gutter clear on a bungalow in the middle of a dry summer. Used the vac and it was a nightmare, dust everywhere. Ended up just using the ladder and it was quicker and far easier. Today I cleared one with grass growing out of the full length of back gutter. The customers were saying that it will be hard with all the grass in it. I told them it will be fairly easy because its been so hot it will have shrunk. The moment I got hold of a big clump the whole lot nearly came out. They were pretty upset that I made it look so easy because nothing was holding the roots in place and it was dry as a bone. I reckon it would have took me three times longer with the vac.

Working Sunday is my charity day. Don't make any money as I'm helping friends out. This one has a garage so he fixes my van and I clean his windows and do oddjobs at his place. For every action there is an opposite reaction, took me decades to understand this but when you do everything in business fits into place.
