    That’s small enough that a 2-3in PVC pipe and some elbows could allow you to do it from the ground.

        I made this one but opened it in tinkercad and changed the opening to fit my sunjoe brand blower.

    Very nice! I use a shop vac with a long hose myself, don’t like getting on the roof if I don’t have to on account of being a chicken shit. :D

      I see two story houses in my neighborhood with gutters and think “No fucking way.”

      I never thought much about two story houses until I owned a house. Now, I think I’d never have one unless I had the money to pay someone to do routine maintenance up there, too.

    While I can appreciate your creativity I must tell you that’s how my father died 5 years ago; fell off, cut his arm and died in the helicopter thru the hospital. Maybe be more careful or something. I’m a stranger on the internet not a cop.

    A nice impromptu bit of kit!

    Exactly why I’ve never installed gutters. Well, this and I’d actually need to install them.

    I wonder how well this would work. Of course, the problem is I wouldn’t know without putting a camera on the end of it too. Sigh.

      Sales kids keep suggesting them while standing in the shade of my oak tree that drops what I can most accurately describe as metric tons of leaves every fall, and equal volumes of pollen every spring.

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

  • what is this thing?
  • No Stupid Questions
  • Ask Lemmy
  • Self Hosted
  • Mildly Interesting

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
