TIFU : I cleaned my gutters.

[u/mdevietro]

This morning I was out in my yard and did a little usual weekend cleanup. Mowed the lawn , ran the weedwacker ect.

Well as I looked directly above my front door I saw a fucking sapling growing out of my gutter. Apparently one of the local trees had deposited its seed in my gutter and it took root in the decomposing leaves and shit.

So last year I bought this attachment for my shop vac to suck all the crap out of the gutters with hooked end so I can do it from the ground.

My dumbass self decides screw the vacuum I’ll just tape that attachment to my little leaf blower and blow the shit out of my gutters. Then sweep up the driveway of anything that land there.

This worked GREAT. Big clouds of leaves , pebbles from my Ashphalt shingles and everything else flew into the air but it all mostly went out of the way.

Felt a few get into what little hair I have left but no big deal.

Finally I get most of the way around the house and had drained that leaf blower battery so I grab another one. (It uses my Milwaukee tool batteries )

While I’m grabbing a new battery I decided to take a break since it’s close to 100deg out side. I stare at my phone and it won’t unlock with faceID. Odd , so I unlock with my passcode and use the selfie cam to figure out I basically gave myself suburban blackface from the clouds of dirt sticking to my sweaty ass face.

Needless to say I finished up and then immediately hit the shower. My wife was …….. confused when I walked into the house.

TL:DR Used leaf blower to empty my gutters. All the debris stuck to my sweaty face.

Original post wouldn’t let me use a photo.

Yes it’s just dirt. But I didn’t realize how much until it was late.

Oh my gosh, I'm dying! You have such a great sense of humor to post your photo and to also say, "suburban blackface." I bet your family and friends are so happy to have you in their lives.

You look like how I feel every time I have to do yard work lol. Shower for 5 hours and I swear I’m still finding brambles in my ass crack.
