The heads up that I have a gutter vac

Looked today at this customers house before mentioning anything.

What’s the story on wall above top front bedroom

Obviously a gully/valley behind this would this be expected to get up ladder to get behind this 🤦‍♂️

Would you?

No thanks

Customer is a bit of a task master 😁

Thanks lee

You're unsure for a second then your gut feeling kicks in. How many times have you been driving and had a choice of two routes. You get an inner feeling to choose one over the other but ignore the nagging doubt; you hit a traffic jam a few miles later. God bless!

What’s the story with the bird 🦅 spikes and gutter vac
