Every fall, we sent out contractors to clean the gutters at the properties. This prevents them from clogging and gets all the debris out of them. This year, however, I got a report back from a 150 unit townhome association with some unusual findings.
Typically, there are leaves, birds' nests, and the random tennis balls and golf balls. Even, the periodic child's toy will show up in a gutter. However, the contractor at this association found some rather unusual items in addition to the regular things. Found this year, were two remote controls from radio controlled cars, one garage door opener, and a playstation controller. These were all found in different locations, not the same home.
The suggestion from the contractor was that these items were thrown out the windows of the second floor and onto the roof of the first floor and no one bothered to retrieve them, therefore they eventually made their way into the gutters.
Doesn't it make you wonder what goes on in other people's homes that they would toss these items out the window, and wouldn't seem to care that they are gone? The most bizzare thing to me, though, is that it didn't just happen to one home, it was 4 different homes. It really makes me wonder...but that makes my head hurt.
