I just realized this picture doesn't show the guttering
You can see where the gutter should go around the roof.
The gutter is installed today, this is an old picture.
HAHAHAHAHA!!!! That's too funny! The first picture I was wondering if that was a deck or porch. 2nd pic makes it pretty clear. His extension pipe would reach a standard 1 story gutter from the ground. It wasn't very heavy, so I imagine you could get two kits and make it longer to do it from the ground. I think it would be a pain to make enough snaky bends to get the gutters while standing on the porch. Perhaps you should invent some sort of dump gutter where the whole thing could be tipped out with a lever so you could blast it out with a hose from the ground? All you'd have to do is make a frame for the gutter to hang on, put the hinged side away from the house and when you tip it, the edge near the house would swing down and away. Kind of like a really wide backhoe bucket. It would dump most of the leaves and crud and you could then hose it out. Heck, with a catch box under the downspout hole you could tip the entire thing. There you go! Richard's Self Cleaning Gutter Systems TM. I give you permission to make millions with my idea. (I'm sure no one else has thought about it yet ).
