Should the rain water run to the fall pipe:-)?

The highest point seems to be where the guttering and the fall pipe meet.

I take a bucket up the ladder with me, makes for a lot less cleaning up
afterwards.

Please be careful leaning sideways on ladders like that. (He who

There's a good, sarcastic comment there about the above question and ladder
safety - but I'll refrain. g

Seriously though, over that distance, about 1/2" of fall to the outlet
should be sufficient for a self-cleaning action. Now you've cleaned it
chuck a bucket of water down it and see what happens (if you already have,
then ignore that bit and carry on) - if it doesn't run away or puddles, then
the answer is obvious.

Whip off the gutter and re-align the brackets to get the correct fall - btw,
theoretically the gutter should work even if it's level all the way, but you
will ultimately end up with the problem that you have now after a fair bit
of time (which was probably started by the sand falling off the concrete
tiles and hanging in the gutter, giving the chance for the vegetation to
grow).

The highest point seems to be where the guttering and the fall pipe
meet.

If it's only the outlet that's high, and you have a bit of leeway on the end
of the gutter, it may be possible just to drop the outlet and that'll sort
the problem out (depends on how lucky you are there) OR stick a wedge under
the corner of the house on the other end to pick the building up to get a
fall - or send for you-know-who from Medway to give you a hand. vbg

All the best with it - and clean it out every couple of years once you've
resolved the problem.

Take the outlet off and drop it down an inch...you may need to take the
bracket off closest to the outlet and drop that down a bit too.

And I wouldn't have climbed up that ladder for a gold clock - it was way to

Extending drain rods with a drop scraper - saves moving the ladder.

Two things I noted - firstly the camera was on a slight zoom -

shot showing more of a side on view which seemed to support this). Also
the ground appeared to slope quite steeply toward the house - this can
mean the opposite problem also exists; go for the "right" angle, the
bottom of the ladder could slip toward the house and cause the top to
fall away from it.

(personally I would not have gone up that particular ladder, but only
because it looked like one of those lightweight DIY spec ones that seem
to have serious objections to the combination of me and gravity at about
the midspan! (feeling rather like they are going to fold sideways))

No zoom.

The ladders were at such an angle as that is where they were safe. The
garden slopes towards the house I kicked the feet of the ladders into angle
of the lawn where it stops sloping and becomes horizontal.

Lightweight DIY ladders my arse:-). These are class 1 ladders used on a 3:1
not a 4:1 playing field.

There is no trick photography.

The garden slopes towards the house. I placed the ladders onto the lawn
where the slope stopped and it becomes horizontal. I kicked the feet of the
ladders into the grass at that point and climbed them. As Phil L says, the
feet of the ladders are a long way from the house, however they are at a
point where they are secure. When used at a normal angle the ladders do not
wobble like that.

As for the zoom. There was none. However a quick look at my CCTV which
covers some of that house shows that Sheila held the camera at arms length
and was stood higher up than the feet of the ladders.

I used the same ladders to swap a lamp in a pub car park light. ie this one

http://goo.gl/maps/CnC2Y

I just fastened the ladders side by side onto the roofbars so that they were
sticking out from the rear of the van, cable tied some step ladders to the
end of the ladders and reversed the van so that the steps were under the
light. Job done.

The patron saint of Germany is St Eingang.

That's why there are so many streets called Eingang Strasse.

But its a hidden city. I followed loads of autobahn signs pointing to
it, but I never found it.

I think its the secret location of Hitler's new bunker where the fourth
Reich is being planned.

Germany will finally conquer Europe only to find that there is nothing
worth having left.

I just fastened the ladders side by side onto the roofbars so that they were
sticking out from the rear of the van, cable tied some step ladders to the
end of the ladders and reversed the van so that the steps were under the
light. Job done.

When people were mentioning bad positioning of the ladder for the
guttering, I though "well Adam's used to ladders and certainly knows the
consequences of falling off them" but trusting your life (or even just
your livelihood) to a couple of ty-raps? Madness ...

If the tie wraps can hold a set of ladders to the roofbars and stay there
when doing 100mph then they are good enough for me.

Apologies for breaking into the conversation,
but does anyone have experience of using robots to clean gutters?
my gutters are too high to reach with a ladder.

No, but a mate did use an RC helicopter to Roundup-bomb his chimney
stack, so as to weed it.

That's a constant load though, not a shock impact.

I bought a bag of big tiewraps from CPC a while back - absolutely
useless for this sort of thing. Shout loudly at them and they pop open.
