Can gutter protection save your marriage?

In a recent study conducted by eSure Home Insurance, reported on The Telegraph, couples spend 40 minutes arguing about household chores every day.

• 1 in 4 couples said putting off home improvements is the second top cause of arguments (the first is leaving clothes laying on the floor)
• 59% of women said a shoddy DIY attempt bothered them the most
• 30% of couples use their work as an excuse to avoid doing their share of chores, 24% blamed their children, and one tenth blamed their pets
• Men are more apt than women to use a fib to get out of chores, with blaming past aches and pains a favorite choice

Okay, it may be an exaggeration to say gutter protection will also protect your marriage. But, it’s no exaggeration to say that few of us enjoy chores. We want our lifestyles to include more fun, more family time, more "me" time – not more chores.

The more serious aspect of failing to do homeowner chores, such as gutter cleaning, or not doing them well, can lead to real hazards for your home, property or life (injuries and death related to falls). And, clearly, according to the study, it’s not doing any favors for our relationships, either.

That’s why many homeowners choose to invest in the right gutter protection such as the Leaf Slugger™ no-clog gutter protection and water management system. It eliminates the time and danger of doing what we don’t want to do anyway by simply eliminating the chore.

Now, if we can only figure out how to get bathrooms to clean themselves and trash to get itself to the curb.
