My house backs on to a bit of a forest and i get a ton of leaves through the fall. Not sure if i could afford to pay someone to come twice a year to clean out the gutters.
Last year i was walking around on the front part of the roof where it isn't very steep and high. i had my electric leaf blower and aimed right into the gutters and blew it all out and came out VERY clean. Leaves were still wet but that didn't matter. I then attempted to walk toward the back of the roof but it got higher and steeper and i just couldn't do it. So i was browing online and found this:
A Safe Way to Clean Gutters - Fine Homebuilding Article
I built it with parts from homedepot. Seems to work ok if the leaves are dry, but was having problems when wet.
I also bought the guttermaster but have not tried it yet

in the next short while after the leaves stop falling, i'll give it a try. Anyone else try these techniques?
