I know a lot of people that aren't willing to even install a ceiling 
fan, lest they electrocute themselves and burn the house down.  It makes 
no sense to me, but enough of my co-workers thought I'm a full-time G.C. 
(never mind what I'm doing at the office all day, I guess) because I 
cleaned out a sink once to tell me that list wouldn't surprise them.

But cleaning the gutters?  Seriously?  Hire someone to clean your gutters?
