Today on Maison Monday we’re taking it outside, and gearing things towards taking care of those pesky fall chores. Unless you live on a property that is tree-less, or are otherwise located in some sort of highrise, you’re probably familiar with raking leaves. It has to be done, else you’ll be known as that person on the block whose leaves blow all over everybody else’s lawn. Enter the EZ Leaf Hauler, a tarp that expands into a handy container and leaf carrying system. If you’re looking for something a bit more playful for the kids, perhaps the Bear Claw Leaf Scoops are more suitable. Okay, I can imagine a lot of adults would have a blast with these.
Onto other important jobs, specifically cleaning out the gutters. If you’re like me, you love wobbling around on a ladder, scooping out handful after handful of messy leaf litter. Forget the ladder, and save yourself the hassle with Gutter Sense, a telescopic grabbing tool that lets you tend to the gutters from the safety of the ground. If your a fan of the autonomous Roomba, Scooba and so forth, you’ll probably have a special place in your heart for iRobot Looj, the gutter cleaning “robot”. In the end, all of these devices will help you get the job done, maybe not as fast as traditional means, but they’ll sure add some fun to the process.
