A word of warning, never buy a green hose pipe !!
I have one on a reel at the back of the house, decided to use it today to flush the front gutters after clearing them out.
First I made sure my route from back to front was clear of obstacles and then started to tow the hose around the side of the house, said green hose managed to grab a brush standing against the wall and flip it knocking a tin of paint off the shelf in my lean to.
Hose then jammed around the brush so I set off back to untangle it. Hose managed to wrap around my foot sending me full length of the house at 45 degrees and in three strides.
Eventually I got set up and went up the ladder making sure I had plenty of hose free for the job, Two thirds the way up the ladder said green hose wrapped itself around the stake for my sunflower and abruptly the job stopped. Down the ladder again to free the bloody thing off !
Anyway, long story short, gutter all clear and after several mishaps reeling the hose back in I’m now sitting having a brew, one of those days
