I have asked my friends just this question, and I can't believe they're all saying no, it's a bad idea.
The gutters are too high up to reach, I can't reach anything from the level below, even with a big stick. I can't reach from the windows on the top floor as the window doesn't open wide enough. I can nearly get to the blockage with a coat-hanger-hook on the end of a broom, but not quite. Now, what if I got the jetwasher and used the wand to blast water in from one end? The jet washer looks good at clearing that sort of gunk out of the back garden. What's the worst that could happen?
Some of the worst things that could happen are that that growth in the gutter could be blasted out and over next doors roof. It could go over next doors car / drive / lawn windows / balcony, or even in through an open window. The jet of water could be strong enough to bust a hole in the gutter or even tear the gutter away from the roof. But apart from that?
I'm only suggesting blast the water along the gutter, not up through the down-pipe or anything.
Busy day at work today. We're down to the final snags of this new project, and there are actually quite a lot of them. London tomorrow, so won't be making a lot of progress then. And then there's a mysterious "new ways of working" meeting that we all have to attend. Don't worry they say, it's all good exciting news they say. It had better not be "back to the office four days a week" or anything.
This day in 1994 I was at Oasis at Portsmouth Wedgewood Rooms and you weren't.
