This is an UPDATE to the DIY Gutter Vac Attachment video I released over 3 years ago, in the summer of 2018. If you haven't seen that video, you'll probably want to watch it first here:

I figured I'd do a follow-up video to better show the ease of use as well as answer the most common questions I've received over the years.
My first video covers building and testing the gutter vacuum attachment (
https://youtu.be/-cRUheSAXM4 ). All you need are 2 sections of central vacuum tubing, 2 long sweep elbows, and a piece of 2 inch ABS pipe. The central vacuum tubing is much lighter that standard schedule 40 PVC pipe and is key to keeping the attachment light weight. See the links below for the parts and tools I used:
***If you're having trouble finding the central vacuum tubing or fittings, call your local electrical supply store.
