I had another guttering Job to do today, so I sent Michelle off to do a few houses while I got on with the guttering, Set myself up and began the clean on the front of the property, all went well apart from one little black spot I couldn't shift, I used plenty of ecover and the high pressure jet, I ended up taking the brush to it and still it wouldnt budge, I ended up thinking that it could be the rubber seal that had squeezed out of the joint and thought I can't shift it, I'm going to have to leave it I thought.
I took the before and after clean on the front, and still wasn't happy with this black mark, I ended up sticking the camera up there to see if I could see what the problem was, I was gob-smacked after spending so much time trying to clean it, I found out it was a small hole in the guttering, I felt a right plonker.
When the custy came out to have a look, I said did you realise you had a hole in your guttering?? 'O' Yes she said the rain pours out of there, Grrrrr!
Have a look at the Joint and see if you can see the little black spot? this is the hole, that I spent so long trying to clean.
Took all my gear around the back of the house and re-set up, I cleaned the internal sections with no problems, changed the bits on the lance for the external clean, and applied all the ecover with the low pressure Jet and then changed it over to the high pressure to begin the clean,
what happened then was the high pressure hose blew and it shot right up my shorts Whooo!
Now I'm knackered without the lance in action, so I had to clean it all with the brush and the only way I could rinse it, was to turn the pressure washer on and clean on low pressure, now that was hard work, I don't Think cleaning with a brush any where near a good a finish as the lance and pressure washer.
First 2 pictures are of the lower front section.
This was the back section, I'm afraid the light wasn't to good when I took the after shot, But all in all it ended up being a reasonable Job at the back, but it would have been better done with the lance.
