No stores near me sell the gutter kit either so waiting for shipping is not an option. I took a trip to HD and picked up some 2" PVC and a "U" joint with some PVC spray weld (much easier than wasting a jar of glue that is no longer good after it's opened). Also got a 2" rubber connector to attach it to the end of my leaf blower pipe. Perfect fit and all I need to do now is add a side handle to hold the pipe a little easier and I'm done. I gave it a test run on some of the gutters last night and it worked like a charm. Hardly any airspeed loss and the whole setup cost me $15. Since I have gutters that are 30' up I really did not want to scale my roof or go all that way up on a ladder. 2,031 posts, read 3,199,032 times 328 posts, read 308,492 times I do not see that cleaning all the debris OUT of the gutter(s)

I do see it slinging a bunch of crud down in your face as you use it however. I clean my gutters once a season by hand in the summer to get all the stuff out. And then blow them out using my Stihl vac / blower. I am not afraid of heights so I blow them at a 45 degree angle as I walk along the edge. This blows everything OUT of the gutter. Your design looks like it would not clear the gutter out - but rather would spread it left and right from the nozzle / maybe 30-40% gets blown out of the gutter. Then again maybe it works great ? Originally Posted by StrkAliteN I tried it last night on a few gutters and it worked flawlessly. These gutters were closer to the ground so I went up the ladder to inspect afterward and they were completely clear. I'll be trying the higher up ones in the next day or so and will keep you posted. I also set the blower on a hold at full blast and walked to the end of the pipe I made. No difference really in the airflow from the blower vs. the extension.

Plus the leaves are dry so it's the perfect time to do it. Is it the end all solution over going up there with a hand scoop, probably not but it will do the job for this season. I have no such issues with my setup. It was built utilizing two "U" fittings in an offset configuration at the end of the long tube. That the discharge blows both down and forward into the gutter. I also have it canted so that I am walking well behind the action, essentially "sweeping" the gutters from one end to the other.backpack merchant eso Originally Posted by HWTechGuyyolanthe backpack I thought about adding another fitting to angle it but didn't want to lose airflow. ezvid best backpack

I am adding a small wood handle to the side to allow for better stabilizing and handling while sweeping. 5,524 posts, read 5,092,107 times Originally Posted by clutchrider Add a tablet computer to the blower and a little camera to the nozzle so you can check your work as you go.

Additional giveaways are planned.China legislative body has approved the cybersecurity law which caused a lot of debates, according to Bloomberg. The new law allows law enforcement authorities to freeze the accounts of foreign citizens and organizations with suspected sabotage of the China's information infrastructure. During the investigation, they will be required to provide the full access to data to the authorities. The law also requires mandatory certification of computer equipment and personal data storage of Chinese users within the country. According to experts, the input of these requirements will give one more advantage to local market companies over foreign competitors such as Microsoft, Google, Cisco and others. "This is a step backwards for Chinese innovations. The country's authorities are right in the aspect of ensuring the security of digital systems and information in the country;

however, the law will not help to achieve the goal. Instead, it creates barriers to marketing and innovation,"- said James Zimmerman, the head of the American Chamber of Commerce in China. The law will come into force in June 2017. Google AdWords interface added a feature that turns off unnecessary automatic extensions.

The company's goal is to promote better news resources and deleting phishing web news. Earlier this month, the head of Google, Sundar Pichai, was interviewed by BBC and he told that the search engine aims to reduce the probability of dissemination of untrue news to zero. About two years ago Google made an access to the block of the main news for all publishers, not just Google News sources. As a result, the publications of Twitter, Reddit, YouTube, Hacker News, and low quality content blog started appearing in the search results. After starting the AMP the access became even easier since these websites are adopting the new format so fast, therefore more and more news appear in the search results. Although the websites are approved by Google News, they quite often publish low quality content, that do not meet certain criteria.
