Had a cracking day today. Remind me in future to look out for pine trees.

Ended up doing a 4 hour gutter vacuum was thinking I would nail it in 2 hours.

Blockage after blockage. Body is going to pay for this lol.

Back of house had two conservatories which made things easier?

Anyone else had any pine needle experiences?

 
yep me got one not done for a bit..but I clear by hand in my true style all over the place and sweep up afterwards..

used to do one twice a year completely clogged all the way around I think they said larch not sure but wow....they certainly like to clog up gutters..

me in the :turd: on wednesday as I was cleaning the car with the vac for its mot ..well its only cleaned once a year..and I was admiring the suction as its not normally this good but wasnt watching what I was doing and ...clunk..well I thought it was a pound coin ...but any way that was the end of my vac work...I tried to strip it down but couldnt find anything..

well the wife is good with vacum cleaners...:rolleyes: any what had cheapie hoovered up under his seat...

hmmm its something I can never find when I want it...a bloomin pen...oops

some serious loading unloading of the dishwasher later and alls good now...

 
Not come across one yet? but I did do some the other day with really big leaves that blocked the vac up constantly that I ended up doing by hand.

 
Big leaves are also a pain & to be honest anything else that keeps blocking it up it's sometimes easier/quicker for me to do by hand.

It was only single storey so just pulled the step ladder out, it was a couple of out buildings on a massive house, had a big ass tree overhanging both buildings, after it got blocked up the second time it was gloves and step ladder.
