Hey folks,
I have a bit of a conundrum. I am a new home owner and want to make sure my gutters are clear. I live on a corner lot in a 1.5 story. The side of the house running parallel to the street has gutters as does the side opposite. The side running near and parallel is about 10 feet from the public sidewalk and 12.5 feet high from yard to eve. The 10 foot run is sloped grass away from the home that drops about 1'9" over the course. The slope is steeper closer to the walk and none is flat.
Based on everything I am seeing there is no way I can place an extension 10 ft out on the sidewalk at a safe angle to the 14.5ft roof.
Is there 1) An alternative safe method for placing a ladder? I do not want to dig up the lawn each time i need to clean.
2) A better way to clear the gutters (that you have personally used) that avoids the ladder. The only issue with this is if I ever need to do something (i.e. Repair a gutter) I run into the same problem even if I satisfy this need now.
Thanks!
