Ben Walters: [00:00:00] One of the rites of fall is cleaning the gutters and doing that off of ladders can be awful scary. Like, trying to get up here and get all this grime and then get back here and see if I can get, well, I'm really gonna reach, but I've got a little bit of slate here and get rid of that. Heads up! All that is kind of old school way of doing things, and it's dangerous. The number one cause of occupational injury is falls. So you don't wanna be up on ladders if you can avoid it.

Ben Walters: But for many years I thought that was the only way to clean the gutters. However, as I get older, I'd like to think I get a little bit smarter. One of the things I came up with to clean the gutters, without going up these crazy ladders, is this system where I fire up the leaf blower then back up here, I can blow all the leaves out of the gutter. That gutter is clean.

Ben Walters: So sometimes just continuing to do things the same way we always did them is not a good idea. [00:01:00] I learned that I can use my leaf blower, but then I also made an another adaptation, which is the long pole. I can take the long pole, attach it to the leafblower, and I can actually blow the gutters all the way down there and all the way up there and around there and all these different areas of this house. If you come over here and look how tall this is, when you're trying to clean those gutters off a ladder, very difficult, very dangerous.

Ben Walters: In your business, in your life. Try to find better ways to do things so that you save yourself and don't end up falling off a ladder as a rite of fall.
