Ah...smart idea. I have one for your home downspouts to keep them from being clogged with leaves...since you are a fisherman. Get one of your lead weights and tie it to the end of some fishing line. Toss it carefully up at your roofline and try and get to fall into the downspout opening. Once it does ..give it some slack so it can fall through to the bottom. You can then tie some line more stronger to it and pull it back through. Once you do you can tie the ends of the stronger line together and attach something like a little ball that can clear your downspout of leaves. Leave it connected year round. When things get clogged you just pull the ball through.
Great idea! Ever try leaf guards? There are some designs that work better than others and don't pop out. They make new types of gutters now with built-in leaf guards that actually work pretty well.
There's a new Azec/PVC gutter that's made to replace the old fir, wood gutters since those have a tendency to rot as you probably know. They work really well and last forever for those who need to maintain that "wood look" of gutters and don't like aluminum ones.
Was out today on a "little giant" type ladder with the chainsaw cutting half broken branches way up on my peach tree.
Nice. Careful! Ladder and chainsaw while necessary in some cases, is a dangerous combo!
