    After seeing this on the news tonight, no way should you get up there, especially if you are 86.

    I had an 81 year old neighbor missing a few teeth after falling off his
    roof. There was another 75 year old taking down a partially fallen tree
    to have it fall on him and kill him.

    I find it easier in recent years, to go to the ATM and get what you need
    for proper service. Much safer.

    Same here. A few years ago I bought leaf filters from HD but wife did
    not want me going up ladder to clean gutters and install them even on
    first floor. We have a landscaper for grass etc and he put them up in
    trade for an old aluminum ladder I had.

    Had wanted to mention these here in ahr as the leaf filters have been up
    about 3 years now and work great. I have a magnolia type tree that
    clogged gutter is the spring with flowers and in the fall with leaves
    and it was a real PITA to clean gutters twice a year.
