			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We do not know anybody who likes cleaning rain gutters on their  property. It’s time consuming and often, frankly, completely nasty,  especially if you do not keep up with it on a somewhat regular basis. If  you are like many homeowners and think “I’ll take care of that next  weekend”, you could end up with massive clogs in your gutters and  downspouts…clogs which will cost hundreds of dollars to repair because  you have to call a gutter professional to come out, take down your  downspouts, clean them out and put them all back together. Instead of  spending all of that time and money, why not just install a gutter  brush?</p>
<p>The original gutterbrush simple gutter guard will save you time and  you won’t have to worry about costly clogs in your downspouts. The  product looks like a giant pipe cleaning brush and it sits in your rain  gutter channel and acts as a barrier for leaves, twigs, seedpods and  other debris while still letting water pass through freely and out the  downspout.</p>
<p>Installation is simple and fast. The most difficult part is climbing  the ladder up to your roof to set the original gutterbrush down inside  of it. But that’s it…you’re done! More importantly they are easy to  clean if you ever need to do so. All you have to do is climb back up  that pesky ladder; pull the brushes out, remove the debris and put them  right back into place.</p>
<p>Why spend a bunch of money if you don’t have to? Why spend a bunch of  time cleaning something if you don’t have to? The original GutterBrush  is very affordable and you can install it yourself in about an hour and a  half and it lasts all year (studies have proven they can also keep your  gutters from freezing in the winter). Sounds like a win-win situation  to me.</p>
<p>Don’t be fooled by imitations that are manufactured outside of the  USA using sub standard materials. Insist on the original GutterBrush  SImple Gutter Guard!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Even though great strides have been made in achieving equality in both the workplace and household, women are usually still the ones who do the household chores and the home cleaning tasks. However, when it comes to cleaning clogged gutters, most women are not looking to engage in this task and often frown at the idea of getting their hands covered in the dark, smelly muck in the gutters. Even independent minded women who do not usually ask favors from men, wouldn’t have the interest of performing a cleaning task which may leave their hands smelling unpleasant for weeks. However, GutterBrush gutter guard has delighted many women since its introduction to the market seven years ago. Aside from being an effective gutter guard against leaves and falling debris that can cause clogs and water overflow in gutters, there are at least three reasons why this simple gutter protection system has attracted the interest and gained the favor of female customers.</p>
<p>First, it is the easy installment feature of GutterBrush that curries favor with the ladies. Many women are not very interested in technical features and thus, they tend to get easily bored with most talk about complex gutter protection systems that require professional installation or routine maintenance. GutterBrush harnesses  a simple design of repelling/blocking debris while allowing water to flow right on through. GutterBrush is so simple, there is not even a need for a sales representative to explain how the product works and how the product is installed. It can be done simply and easily.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gutterbrush.com"><img class="alignnone" title="GutterBrush can eliminate the need for annual gutter cleaning" src="http://cobbhomerepair.com/home-repair-images/gutter-cleaning.jpg" alt="" width="172" height="257" /></a></p>
<p>The second reason is that GutterBrush greatly reduces any gutter maintenance needed to keep them working properly.  Any product that does not require daily or weekly cleaning is likely to be appealing to everyone. Thus, a gutter protection product such as GutterBrush that barely needs maintenance once or twice a year is certainly an irresistible product to the do it yourself homeowner and this obviously includes a large population of women who fit that bill.</p>
<p>The third reason this product is so very appealing is the price. Both men and women are probably very interested in economical products and services in these challenging times and Gutterbrush fits the bill on both counts. Other systems can cost thousands of dollars to purchase and then have installed where GutterBrush can be purchased and installed for only a few hundred dollars for the average sized home. The bottom line is that everyone can benefit from GutterBrush due to its being simple, affordable and effective.</p>
<p>As always, whenever you start a home improvement or maintenance project safety must always be in the forefront of your mind. that&#8217;s right, safety first. Always.</p>

That translates into 120 opportunities for suffering a snow removal malady including muscle fatigue, lower back injury, spinal damage, and even spinal fractures during the seemingly never ending winter season.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 435px"><a href="www.gutterbrush.com"><img title="Proper Shoveling techniques from GutterBrush.com" src="http://oakvillechiropractor.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/shoveling-snow1.jpg" alt="Snow relocation technique." width="425" height="282" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Snow relocation technique.</p></div>
<p>In some parts of the USA the average amount of                    snowfall approaches 120 inches! That translates into 120 opportunities for suffering a snow removal malady including muscle                    fatigue, lower back injury, spinal damage, and even spinal fractures during the seemingly never ending winter season. Many of these snow removal aches, pains, and injuries are the result of excessive stress to spinal, muscular structures, and  from slips                    and falls. According to research completed at Cornell University’s ergonomic                    department The L5/S1 disc has been identified as the weakest link in the body segment chain. The most severe injuries and pain are likely to occur in the back region.&#8221; Just as we advocate for ladder safety when cleaning the gutters or working on the roof, what can be done to prevent injuries when relocating snow after a storm?<br />
<strong> </strong>Keep in mind at the outset that snow relocation programs can be compared to resistance training , and in                    some cases, the aerobic aspect of this activity is similar to                    a workout involving running or skipping rope. So, in the interest of safety and a successful battle with the fallen snow please take a moment to consider the following tips:</p>
<p>1. If you experience pain or discomfort of any kind, stop at once and seek assistance.</p>
<p>2. Drink plenty of water during the event(s) and take frequent breaks. Remember, snow relocation is a very rigorous physical activity that can place you in harms way.</p>
<p>3. Beware of icy surfaces under the snow and avoid them if you are unable to get solid footing to remove the snow. Failure to do this often results in a slip and fall situation resulting in injury.</p>
<p>4. Make sure you are dressed properly and be sure to understand that much of the heat in your body exits through the head.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>5. Shovel selection is very important. Choose one with a curved handle to help you to keep your back straighter reducing spinal stress. A smaller blade can help with this as well because a smaller load of snow usually weighs less and thus<strong></strong> puts less                    strain on the spine. Finally, <strong></strong>there are shovels                    made expressly for pushing snow so you can avoid lifting a single flake of snow. Once you have your shovel, spray                    a bit of silicon lubricant on the blade in order to help keep                    the snow from sticking to the shovel.</p>
<p>6. Accord<img src="file:///C:/Users/SSQ/Desktop/shoveling-snow1.jpg" alt="" />ing to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, “If you must lift the snow, lift it properly. Squat with your legs apart, knees bent and back straight. Lift with your legs. Do not bend at the waist. Scoop small amounts of snow into the shovel and walk to where you want to dump it. Holding a shovelful of snow with your arms outstretched puts too much weight on your spine. Never remove deep snow all at once; do it piecemeal. Shovel and inch or two; then take another inch off. Rest and repeat if necessary.” Put simply, go forward with your snow. It may take longer but it will save you from some potential aches and pains.</p>
<p>Finally, a snow blower, if you have access to one can render most of these risks moot but it still needs to be used properly. If used properly it will do all of the work for you.</p>
<ul><strong></strong></ul>
<p>A snowblower is a terrific piece of machinery, but if it&#8217;s not used                    correctly, you can strain or injure your back. Snowblowers are                    designed to remove snow at a particular rate of speed. Pushing                    or forcing the equipment to go faster is defeating its purpose                    —to do the work for you!</p>
<p>Winter is far from over and the snow is sure to keep falling in many places. Keep your snow relocation efforts safe and you will have a much more enjoyable winter experience.</p>
