Gutter camera

[Smurf]

That box gutter is quite deep so will need alot of **** removed

It is going to be a hard one to do, they look 'almost' clean

Nice pic! Its more like a roof garden :rofl:

The two batterys and charger arrived today from amazon both are working and worth the price :thumbsup:

 

[Smurf]

That's not the worst one I've seen by any means @awcs

So you're not going to change the charger to a mains one then ?

 

[rshandyman]

I quess most of it needs to be removed by hand first then vac

 

[Smurf]

I would attempt to scrap/vac it out from the ground first as it's not very heigh up and use my gutter clearing ladder set up on the worst bits if need be.

Oh for a petrol driven roots blower guttervac @Njones /emoticons/biggrin.png

Forgot to mention will probably pressure wash em afterwards to finish off and water test the downspouts.

Here is another way to do them from the ground without using a guttervac at all.

Those 2 cars need to go to car wash now.I do not believe that this is a effective method of clearing loads of.... from the gutters without gutter vac

I'm amazed there still isn't a company selling these - they'd cost no more than a vac/generator combo & would be double the power as well as much more convenient to use.

Apart from the awesome suction power it would have there would be no electric vac motors to burn out.

If you're happy with 11 squid that's all what counts as it's all work at the end of the day I suppose. Still you only have your self to blame if you're not @cheapncheerful

Do any of you Gopro chaps use a dedicated telescopic camera pole?

Any suggestions on such a pole?

 

[andy w]

I just attach it to the end of my clx 18, i notice gardiners now do an alloy gopro mount :thumbsup:

 

[Smurf]

Yes i have one @J D....It's just an old stripped down wfp I don't use anymore as I like up cycling stuff

[rshandyman]

For first floors I use harris pole and for higher jobs clx27.

 

[Smurf]

Anything higher than two storey work I prefer to do a runner now as is not worth the hassle

 

[rshandyman]

I had quick gutter job today I will post pictures when I find spare time

with... gopro

 

[andy w]

Was it easier with the gopro? Not used mine yet for a gutter clean, but tried it out on the end of my pole to look in the gutters and was impressed! Fair bit of camera shake though :laugh: probably from the clx

I did 2 gutter clearing jobs today next door to each other which made things easier.

1st job gutters rammed packed and found all 5 downspouts blocked too that I had to take the bends apart to clear them.

2nd job had a total of 7 downspouts and guess what 5 of them were blocked solid too. So again had to take the bends apart to clear them.

Here is a sample pic of the type of blockages I found in them.

God I do hate gutter clearing & downspout unblocking with a passion now.

Mind you the gopro helped to clear the gutters in real time though. That is the bits that I did from the ground as mostly had to use ladders due to the badly blocked downspouts that my guttervac could not shift.
