Yep, but that requires going inside, taking off my boots, going upstairs, contorting my arm to get the right angle only to find out the window doesn't open far enough just to go back down stairs, put on my boots and do it this way. Haha
Great Vid, I especially like your taped gloved hand, I don't feel so bad about my same remedy, oh...you can use another piece pf gutter pipe to lessen the weight
Pipe is not the most glamorous subject to make a video about. But Eric is the only dude who looks good doing it! Regards to the family!! #BeardAndMoustacheOnPoint
Even better, I have an extension like that for my pressure washer. Do the math and visualize how well THAT works with a gutter full of tree poo. My wife found it endlessly amusing however. ;-)
Pipe. “Well that’s it for me at gearhead daily” checks last upload date: 5 months ago. Can we get a pool session scheduled? I have some things floating around my brain I’ve been meaning to ask you about.
Hello sir, love the channel. I am located in MN as well and would love chat with you about your SLC build not sure the best way to connect but I am planning on building one and would love some advice. Thank you -Chris
That's an awesome DIY project. I'm wondering are you up for a collaboration? Hipa supplies parts and chains for chainsaws and maybe we would work together to help more DIYers in the community. I shot an e.mai.l to you.
Big flaw with this system, and many like it, is that blower is at the bottom. Its does not have the head to blow higher than a few feet before you loose power. This one works OK because you have a very short run of pipe - maybe only double what the blower came with. The solution is usually to get a more powerful blower. if you read reviews of systems like yours - they all suck. You need to move the system up to the top. I have a cordless blower 230 CFM that's about 7lbs with battery. I've made a similar rig to yours on the top of the blower with some drain (very light) PVC and flexible rubber boot. Key difference is that this gets attached on top of my snow rake pole (snow rake removed). Now the blower, and a very short adapter, are all up top near the gutter. If you reduce your pipe size a little and also make a deeper bend, you can hang the rig right on the gutter as a guide while you go along. Its not hard to lift or control at all and you get much more power and can go way higher. Mine can reach about 18' up. Also, heat up the exit end of the pipe with a torch and use pliers to squish it a little, this will improve velocity and spread. You're losing a lot with a big circular hole. Here is mine: ru-vid.coma9NzCvxP6vo?si=Hef308M7KbUZyqMu
Thankfully I don't need anything that complicated! HA!! I do have a few spots that are pretty high though. The short run is even enough for the thing to be unwieldy at full arm stretch
