I know, I know Another gutter post.
Why doesn't the bottom of the gutter unhook and swing open? Just needs a rubber seal , some hinges and a latch.
Each piece is about 4 feet long. You just use a broom stick to push the latch, and the bottom of the gutter swings open. You hose it off, snap it back up, go to the next piece. No more limbing on the roof!
For the down poor parts we would put a door in that you could open to easily run a snake up or down in to get those pesky clogs.

Gutter Vac
Why isn't there a shop vac attachment for cleaning gutters?
I made one myself, although admittedly it could be improved.
It's a U shap piece, and on the end is a piec about 4 inches wide 2 inches deep.
I can just turn on the shop vac, hook the end into the gutter, and just walk beneath the gutter cleaning it up.
A circular rubber piece that can go over the drain to suck debris out of it would also be nice.

What I mean by 'Idea'
By 'Idea' I mean something practical. This might be an improvement or something new but it should be practical.
For example:
"We should all have jet packs."
While a great idea, it's not very practical.
If I had an idea on how to improve the thrust/weight ratio, then that would be a practical idea. That being the only real problem that would need to be solved for jet packs.
