Not that easy anymore with OHS BS. Even the lawn crowds have dipped out of gutter cleaning.
Many flat roofed houses here, the pitch aint enough for even the decent gutter guard to send them leaves off. My house has a flat roof, prolly around 3 degrees incline, where the tin is dinging it puddles and rusts. No gutter guard will work.
So becomes a "hubby will never do it job" or a PITA to get some-one else to do it so they eliminate the problem.
Real issue is they dont want to spend the right money to clean the gutters, shit, I'd start doing it if they paid $80/hour.
Back in Adelaide I loved autumn, I lived in the Barossa Valley for a little while ... the rolling hills turned into a amazing blaze of colour as the grape vines changed colour, real spectacular, nothing like that here, nothing.
People have a very different attitude to leaves here, they're way intolerant of them. I can understand with gutter and pools but when it's just leaves in the garden who gives a crap ... rather that than 15' long bloody palm fronds lying about.
